hey guys,
I'm glad to show the " close to final " result of the textures process, he's still wip but close to the result I want.

The idea was to focus on the glow map, that had to add a lot of depth and interest to the textures and give the idea of the element, so I spent a lot of time creating a setup on substance painter to "handpaint" the glow and precisely see how it came, and I found a very effective way that given the result I was looking for !!

This is a screen with just two side light, just to show the glow map

And this is the mood I want to give with all the lighting

Now I want to create two different poses, fix some textures things after the pose, then create a plane as a base and make a decent render ( all you see is realtime in marmoset ).

I'll try to add a lot of epicity and darksiders feel to the scene

Any question and feedback is super welcome,
we are finally close...

Looking good. Can't wait to see the posed version.

[juan]

This came out really cool good job, looking forward to the submission update!

[KoraxArt]

Hey guys thanks for the support !!

This update is pretty ugly but I spent a lot of time on a good topology and doing the poses, so I want to show them ( I'll choose one of them for the final ).

... Or maybe I'll use both of them, for what I read I must submit ONE image as a final but I don't read any restrictions for the additional images ( or I'm wrong ?? )

Anyway, @malcom a quick question, I did a test with marmoset viewer, hit " upload " on a normal reply but I don't have any preview, just a text with size, there is a specific way to upload a marmoset viewer ? ( final size 14,5 mb ).

Thanks !

[malcom]

you can have some additional images but seeing as the judges will probably see the main image first, try to make sure that's the most badass one.

As far as uploading marmoset files, you should be able to just drag an drop the file into the reply box. Under the reply box you'll see the file is being uploaded. Wait for it to fully load in before pressing the reply button. After that you should be able to view to view the file.

This is how it should look like when things are finished.

[KoraxArt]

yeah the idea is to put THE main image, the marmo viewer ( so I met the requirements ) and then another one or two in a different pose with fun mood ( like motion ), nothing more !!

Thanks for the clarification, I expected to see the preview of the viewer ( like when you upload the image ) but now I'm sure I did in the right way, sorry if I bother you for all the contest

[malcom]

Nah man, you weren't a bother at all. I'm happy to help.

[stefanwacker]

This will turn out great!

[dddmod]

Cool work! May I ask? Where will everyone upload the final result? in the same place as the whole workflow?

[KoraxArt]

I fought a long battle with him...
but... here we are !!

The intention behind this piece is to do something brutal and sharp, with the style I love most, and make it look like burn from within, with this in mind I did all the steps and created the final image:

FireDemon_ArtWar.mview (14.5 MB)

I also did some more images to better see the process behind and add some mood, I'll put them in the entry, hope it's not a problem:

And this is all ( for now ) I want add some closeup and a turnaround if I have time but we'll see later ^^

Thanks guys for the support during all this road.

[malcom]

He looks like a cool badass boss character. Congratulations on the finish and best of luck to you.

[Erigo]

Good job man, as a Darksiders fan, I love it!

[KoraxArt]

Thanks man, much appreciated, it was what I wanted to do, and if it seems in the right mood, I'm more than happy

[coolnexart]

Congrats, dude! Such a great vibe I feel on this! Lovely style kinda Dark Siders!

[aredondocg]

Good end result! Congrats!

[KoraxArt]

yeah, thanks for the support throughout all the way man !

[KoraxArt]

Thanks @aredondocg !

[3dc]

congrats on finishing i like the skin color and internal flaming bits.

[KoraxArt]

Hey man thanks !! Yeah he's all based on internal fire and the contrast with the skin and the cold metal, glad you like this

[connerthomps1]

Hey man just discovered your project and I am loving it. This whole character is amazing. I'm curious, what tool did you use to blur the edges of the fire decal to make it appear sharply indented?
