nice, can't wait to see the final result!

@Jakob_Scheidt THANK YOU! I'm really going to give her a few more flicks in the face because she's making me look too simple.

Sergei_Pakhomov 2020-01-02 12:44:28 UTC #6

nice sketch... i like her eyes.

Flix_Stephan 2020-01-02 14:11:42 UTC #7

Wow. Can't wait to see your progress on this mate. Keep it up

sl_ax1 2020-01-02 23:05:48 UTC #8

wow! very interesting character

@Sergei_Pakhomov @Flix_Stephan @Sl_Ax SUPER THANK!! I hope it ends up looking better than it does now. For now I've finished making the hull (although I still have to do the textures because this is only a first look in zbrus). The hull will hardly be seen but I think it's better to leave everything well finished. I already have more or less the turban modeled and now I'm going to do the retopology. I think to separate the turban in pieces to have more quality in the uvs.

It's taken me all day, but I've already got the turban retinalization done. But my problem is that which option is better to publish my project: real time rendering in skechfab? or 3d Maya rendering?
I've always rented in Maya and I feel that I have all the control but... maybe it's better to do it in skechfab and learn more... on the other hand none of the previous winners (I think) have ever submitted their model to skechfab and... I don't know if that should matter to me, really. On the other hand there is the issue that I could retouch a little bit the final image of the render as they did in previous years so... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!? HELP ME!!

@Sl_Ax @Jakob_Scheidt @Flix_Stephan @Sergei_Pakhomov What do you think? What will you do in your jobs?

Flix_Stephan 2020-01-03 20:12:58 UTC #12

I'd definitely go for real time as you can learn so much within this progress. I can't really say if a submission via Sketchfab is allowed as they mention Marmoset Viewer in the guidelines but on the other hand they somehow need to inspect your model. One option is definitely to render everything in Maya. This is at least a save bet. You should ask the contest admins if Sketchfab entries are also allowed.

Tijerin-art 2020-01-03 20:59:26 UTC #13

@Flix_Stephan In the "3D Submission Requirements" they say that:
"If you are not uploading your model using the Marmoset viewer or the Sketchfab embed, include this sheet in your final submission"
And if I've seen people who don't submit the "character sheet" or whatever they say for the contest and although it's true that I learn more I don't know if the limitations imposed by skechfab are too many.

Interesting references and character. Waiting for your progress!

Flix_Stephan 2020-01-03 22:01:35 UTC #15

Oh. I should learn to read properly. Somehow missed the Sketchfab detail :,D Sorry for the confusion dude

sheepnerfer 2020-01-03 22:37:14 UTC #16

looking good! I like her face

Tijerin-art 2020-01-03 22:48:49 UTC #17

@Flix_Stephan It's okay, you'll do it with a vray render?
@sheepnerfer Thank you! Although I'm not very happy with the face, I think I could try a lot harder.

Tijerin-art 2020-01-04 11:17:03 UTC #18

I'm done with rhetopology and the UVs on the turban. I did a quick vray render to see how it would look. And on the other hand I have the base of the head with "sculptris pro", also I have made several conceps that I could carry out in his face to make it more interesting.

eggo 2020-01-04 13:07:08 UTC #19

Really interesting concept)

Tijerin-art 2020-01-04 17:53:14 UTC #20

I'm trying out more face, clothing, pose, weapon and rock concepts. I want to take it easy because normally I can't enjoy a time of exploring the character to get the best possible design. So while I'm doing secret experiments on skechfab XD to see what are the coolest psyches it has.

Ooyoo 2020-01-04 19:22:56 UTC #21

looking awesome! love your sketches and explorations!

nikita666 2020-01-04 20:36:40 UTC #22

I believe there will be great art in the end

Tijerin-art 2020-01-05 10:06:52 UTC #23

@nikita666 Thank you! These kinds of comments help me to keep going.
@Ooyoo I'm glad you like it, now I'm exploring the colors that I have more or less clear but I realize that the pose still does not come to convince me completely, the best thing will be to define the weapon that will be carrying to see caul is the pose that best fits.

Tijerin-art 2020-01-06 08:20:18 UTC #24

I have already completely defined the weapon, the truth is that after only 3 voices of the weapon I realized that this design was the one that had to be. I spent a lot of time with the details, in particular with the white crystals because I had to sculpt them in zbrus and then bring them to substance painter by means of a map from "heigh" to Subtance Painter.
Now that I have the weapon I have it very clear, now I just have to see that it looks good from all points of view.
