So I haven't been updating much because I found out about this contest 2 days before the initial submission date, so was trying to fly through it.. Couldn't even make a concept first this time so REALLY had to wing it haha

Here's the initial ZBrush sculpt

I used Blender to so some procedural texturing, and also created a low poly bow and textured that as well.. I didn't have enough time to sculpt the textures in so had to do it this way.. In case you're wondering why so much gold, he's a hindu demi god.. they were a little over the top :stuck_out_tongue:

This are the same images I'll be using in my detail sheet

I used the same flower pattern texture on the bow as on his cloths, but made it gold plated over a wood texture.. figuring out the procedure for that was NOT easy!!!

I finished creating his rig today and will pose him for the final image, as well as add some new elements to make it as cinematic as possible :smile:

My Final Submission!

Final Image:

Rigging turned out to be a bit of a mess (never rigged a character before), so I had to pose him the not so fun way.. but overall I'm happy with the way he turned out!! :smile: :smiley:

I recently watched Snyder cut of Justice League so was inspired to make it as cinematic as possible :stuck_out_tongue:

Hope you guys like it! :smiley:

Made some tweeks to the final image.. I decided the background didn't have enough atmosphere so I added some of that, added a tad bit of film grain, and did some manual contrast adjustment with a multiply layer
