ART WAR 5 | 3D Submissions | Art World War | Greek Minotaur | esmiond

I've decided to create a Greek Minotaur (a la classical Greek style) for this year's Cubebrush Art Challenge.

Here is my moodboard. I'm trying to keep it simple and clean so it's easy to understand what I'm going for.

Here is my character so far. I like to sketch out what I'ma do in 3D, as I'm not confident enough to concept in 3D space.

Turnaround sheets next!

Turnaround of body done. I don't feel like I need a turnaround for the clothes and props as well, so will probably jump straight into 3D from this point.

Started sculpting today. Luckily I had a minotaur base mesh already, so I used it as a base to quickly rough it out. It looks very derpy right now, while I figure out how stylized vs. real the model should look.

Hey hoo! Long time since. I was busy finishing another 3D project. Not sure I will make this one in time for the deadline, but ima try.
Made a few changes. 1) switched from T-pose to A-pose. And 2) I decided to stray away from my inital concept. My concept looks good in 2D, however, there are a bunch of things which doesn't translate well into 3D. And 3) I'm following my stylized referenses more.

Retopod and setup with high version and low version. Just need to add mouth area and tail, then Im onto UV and ready for texturing!

Mock up hair done, as well as eyelashes and eyebrows. UV settled. Tomorrow I'll begin texturing!

Im quite happy with how the face turned out. Still, I wish to hear from you: any tips on how to improve general appeal?

First color pass. Will work more on it tomorrow.
