ART WAR | 3D | The Oracle | danieljohnsson

Hey everyone

Since I know I dont have that much sparetime I will aim for something in my comfortzone. I will contribute to the Fantasy side with a character i call "The Oracle"

I dont know yet what she will look like and I´m thinking of keeping the concept very loose and make things up as i move a long to have as much fun as i can with her. What i do know is that i will keep her organic and dark.

I just finished up gathering some references and work from other artist that i like and would fit my character :

Really looking forward working on this character!

have fun everyone and see you on the battlefield!!

Cheers!

Hey everyone!

Started to block out some shapes tonight, Nothing fanzy yet just pushing and pulling, trying to get out something readable for the basemsh :

Some more blocking and a very early wip on the face, Stil trying to figure out where i want to go with this one.

My original idea was to go full organic with the armor, but to not have her mixed up as a scifi character i thought i would go for a more fantasy themed armor.

Yeah, creepy stuff. Looking forward to the final model.

danieljohnsson 2016-12-21 19:10:24 UTC #7

So, more blocking, got tired and did a quick polypaint and a mask(?).. But i dont know if i will keep this one, Anyway, i will continue blocking and try out new things tomorrow

independhans 2016-12-21 22:35:23 UTC #9

wooot, so nice wow you have given year already eye texture.

danieljohnsson 2016-12-22 06:24:18 UTC #10

Thx buddy!, =)

danieljohnsson 2016-12-22 06:25:18 UTC #11

hehe it is a phototexture i just dragged in there for fun, but it fit kinda good, wont have that texture in the final model tho, Thx!

So this is the last wip i will post before christmas, I´m on my way home to my parents to spend the holidays and wont be back until next weak.

Here is a small update :

So i have done some basic blocking but i will still move around some things and do a second phase of blocking to add the rest of the armor and then i will add everything else that i need to start working ofn the highpoly, accessories and so on.

i´m thinking of giving her a very sharp but organic body armor, i will also make her more creaturelike and creepy but i will have to do some concepting in my sketchbooks now over the holidays to figure things out.

Have a happy holidays everyone and keep up the great work!

Cheers!

Hey guys, So I´m back from my vacation now and thought i continue on my character. Here is the latest wip

danieljohnsson 2017-01-03 15:06:08 UTC #14

Armor Exploration, Did this shoulderplate today trying to figure out were i want to go with her armor, As i have written before i knew i wanted to go for a organic look but stil have a medival feeling to it. I´m pretty pleased with it so i think i will continue with the rest of the armor in the same way.

danieljohnsson 2017-01-03 18:44:05 UTC #15

more sketching on the face

danieljohnsson 2017-01-04 21:33:05 UTC #16

Did some posing today, But does anyone know if a T-pose is a requirement?

Dont know if i want to continue in this direction or do something else, Have to work alot on the pose if i´ll go for this one, looks very stiff and forced atm, The thing is that i will dress her in so much armor so most of her body wont show, i might need to overstate and push the pose alot to make it look good.

maxloegler 2017-01-04 21:45:08 UTC #17

sweet face! and the armor! great!
i have to admit, i'm no big fan of high-heels for bad-ass female characters ..

danieljohnsson 2017-01-05 07:30:38 UTC #18

Thx!. haha funny you say that cuz honestly i'm not that big of a fan either xD
I might try out some other ways to make her legs long without these high heels. looks not that practical to put up a fight in for sure!

fantasymaster 2017-01-05 07:54:24 UTC #19

Looks great so far. The high heels are just fine if you try to make them more aggressive-armor like.

danieljohnsson 2017-01-05 07:59:21 UTC #20

Yeah it might work but i think i will do a smaller heel, or take it away completely and go for something like this :
