ART WAR 4 | 3D | War of the Elements | Hearth of Fire/Monk Warrior | RustedIsaac

[RustedIsaac]

This is my fisrt entry for Art War, A young monk warrior chosen by the gods of destruction to put an end to an ongoing war, a war fought by mortal people. The young monk is at a crossroads with his beliefes and his gods.

With that concept i will try to work the full character so let's do this!

The original idea was about a peaceful monk who's hearth raged with fire when his principles were challenged. The fire tribe felt like a perfect fit for this concept and immediatly I envision references such as Old Bionicle Figures with interesting shapes around fire and concepts like The Asura deities in Hindu religion for playing around the contrast of chaos and peace. Love machine (antagonist of the Summer wars movie directed by Mamoru Hosoda) also was a huge reference in incredible language and masterful shape design.

The final concept tries to show a youthful character yet a mature and worried man of huge responsability.

This is the first 3d progress on my character, trying to block out volumes and detailing the full body so i can get a handle on the proportions before jumping into hard surface for the gauntlets and armour.

Something very important to me is getting the right expression, given that most of his character and personality are portrayed on his eyes alone. This is a full close up of the face and his features.

More updates soon and of course feedback is always welcome and encouraged!

This looks great! I've already followed you in instagram, I'm looking forward to see how the model looks with textures and with the render.

[RustedIsaac]

Thanks a lot man!! I'll be working hard so my entry is worthwhile!!

[RustedIsaac]

I finished the sculpting on my design, managed to keep the proportions fairly close to the original design.

The high Poly model works well for now, the next step will be to retopologize and try and tackle a texturing process.

Depending on this days... I either try a full texturing and detailed baking or just a single self lit texture for a low poly/game ready kinda model.
Wish me luck!

Second to last update before the deadline! A little show of the retopology of the character, I decided to work on a hand painted self lit texture, currently working on it, i hope it ends up amazing!

[RustedIsaac]

This is my final entry for the ARTWAR! finished with a low poly model and handpainted texture to give a very unique feel, good luck to everyone !!!
