Hello Guys!

This is my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artist/andres_castaneda

I will join the Fantasy side. I think this war needs some ancestral intervention. My idea is a girl that fights using martial arts. However, her gauntlets and tattoos allows her to go further. She can summon two giant golem claws made of rock which follow her movements. She travels around the world visiting towns and cities living a normal person live. But if someone needs her, she won't doubt in release her rocky friends. I took a few images as inspiration.

Based on the references I made a concept of what I want. I will make changes if a see something is not working quite good.

Well, This is what I got so far. I tried to get most of the main shapes for the clothing and getting the anatomy and proportions. I still thinking about the gauntlets design.

I made some changes to the face like reducing the eyes size and modifying the eyes shape and head structure. I think it has a better fantasy look than before. I started with the hair shapes. Now, it needs refinement. Also, I cleaned up the hoodie. Now is a better looking piece. My goal right now is to complete all the top part of my character. I know the ears are looking plastic right now. Also, I think the top parts feels a little bit empty. So, I thinking about adding some kind of extra accessories.

Thanks

This time I worked on the hair and ears. I really like how they look. Also, I was optimizing my model because everything was dynamesh. Now is easier to work with. I am thinking in adding something to the top part of the character because it feels a little bit empty.

I started working on the golem hands. I think it gives a better idea of the overall character. I still unsure about adding some kind of armor or not. Comments and critiques are welcome

Lovely. I like the proportions.

Not a big update I'm currently working on the gauntlets design. I think they look much better than before. I'm also thinking in what kind of accessories I could add to make it look more interesting.

I like this one a lot, keep it up.

I really like the rock hands idea, looking forward to how this one shapes up

Thanks Guys for your comments. It motivates me to continue. This last week I was busy with a few projects. I worked on the character design a little bit tweaking some stuff and adding some details such us armor and a few ornaments. Also, I applied some polypaint because I am looking for a good color palette. Actually I like this one. What do you think?

awesome update! Love all of the embellishments so far.

Ooyoo 2017-01-26 10:46:10 UTC #16

AHHH love the extra big claws she controls! super cool!! nice detailing on the sculpt!!

andrescastaneda 2017-01-29 21:51:18 UTC #17

Thanks guys for the comments. I think I will start refining the claws to give me a better idea of the overall character. I still experimenting with colors so maybe the last think you saw won't be the final.

zazie 2017-02-08 11:20:54 UTC #18

That looks awesome, keep going please^^

Well, I've been busy with projects these last days. It has been hard to find time to work on her but here is a little update. I refined the claws, modified the shape and color to make them look better. I'm happy with the result. I still refining a few things on the character so I'll get another update soon.

andrescastaneda 2017-02-17 17:23:16 UTC #20

This time I updated the gauntlet. I wasn't sure about the previous design but I feel good about this one. Also, I'm finishing polishing, adding and removing some details from the model. The next time I will be done with the high poly mesh.
