Today I have been working on my textures and fixing the fur that was overlapping some areas of the armor and accessories... I think this step is almost done, so I will be moving forward to pose and start making weapons. What do you think about the texturing so far?

This came out really well, and each step you took made the model look better and better!

Thanks so much!!

Hi everyone, today I have been working on facial expression and pose.
The saliva material is working but I think it can be improved.
By the other hand, rendering with fur or without it changes so much the character... It looks more evil without it, isn't it?

Hi everyone, this is a similar render after adding the hair and fur.

I started making the weapons for my character.
In this case I made a Keris, an asymmetrical dagger from Indonesia. Both weapon and spiritual object, the Keris is considered to possess magical powers.
For this weapon is very important the blade, the handle and the sheath, the three parts of the Keris. I started blocking out and adding some detail but I still need to sculpt the handle. I'm attaching some references.

My Blockout

Reference/inspirations

[danimarti]

Inspired by the Balinese Culture I picked Indonesia as Country.
My personal interpretation of Hanuman, the Monkey King.
I introduced the colors of the Indonesian flag, white and red, in the flower on his ear. This is a plumeria, a flower used in ceremonies and offerings, very typical in Bali.
By the other hand, I used the Keris as weapon, both weapon and spiritual object, the Keris is considered to possess magical powers. For this weapon is very important the blade, the handle and the sheath.

Inspired by the Balinese Culture I picked Indonesia as Country.
My personal interpretation of Hanuman, the Monkey King. I used real statues from Balinese Temples as my references.
I introduced the colors of the Indonesian flag, white and red, in the flower on his ear which is a plumeria, a flower used in ceremonies and offerings, very typical in Bali.
By the other hand, I used the Keris as weapon, both weapon and spiritual object. The Keris is considered to possess magical powers and is a very characteristic and traditional from Bali, Indonesia.
All was modeled and sculpted in Blender, textured in Substance Painter and rendered in Marmoset.
