Great idea! And sorry I missed your message in the chat, just saw it after I cut the stream!

Hey all! Just wanted to quickly share some screen caps of some progress on Akala. Still playing with different design elements and trying to figure some things out. Any critique, comments, etc are greatly appreciated. Thanks all and hope you have a great weekend!

Hi guys!

Here is my latest progress on Akala. I made her weapon yesterday as well as a little friend for her. His name is Bork xD

Going into posing here this week and wanted to ask the community what they thought. If you have a minute please let me know your thoughts! I've included both in color and B&W.

Oh man, I dunno how I missed this project - she looks fantastic!

I really love the dynamic pose of (E), but you may run into issues with rendering out a beauty shot from anything other than that exact angle. The safer bet might be a variation from (B) or (C) - they lend themselves a little better to a solid looking turnaround.

Thanks for the kind words! I am also leaning towards B/ C for that very reason.

follygon 2018-02-05 18:30:49 UTC #24

Started posing >.> Three weeks left!

follygon 2018-02-06 22:34:18 UTC #25

More work and some turnarounds!
Feedback greatly appreciated

This character looks great, I really love those early concepts too and that side pet is just awesome. good job!

follygon 2018-02-07 22:16:56 UTC #27

Thanks so much! Really trying to push this pose and make it more dynamic. I've been working on a little environment/ stand as well. Hopefully it all comes together here at the end!

so cute, I love it!

follygon 2018-02-08 19:36:19 UTC #29

Thanks @itseffindan !
Here is some more work on the char and a quick environment/ stand.

All critiques are extremely helpful and desirable as I strive to improve this character for the last couple weeks of this competition.

Thanks so much to all that have given feedback already! I appreciate you taking the time to help push me to improve.

She looks cute!

follygon 2018-02-14 03:00:58 UTC #31

Thanks @Mateus !
Starting new to put things in Keyshot to test. Just a few default materials right now.

follygon 2018-02-15 15:13:48 UTC #32

First single pass render directly out of Keyshot. I'm thinking I might try to Render in ZBrush and see what kind of results I can get. Going to play with that a little today!

Akala & Bork

Dark Side

Cute, unassuming, and dangerous. Akala is a wolf in sheep's clothing entrusted with delivering high priority packages for the Dark Side.
Together with her companion Bork, they dash across the land to deliver messages and items of great importance.
If danger threatens, Akala's trusty halberd, Raitono, is more than enough to handle anything in their way.
Akala and Bork pride themselves on the fact that they have never missed a delivery.

I want to say thank you to everyone that helped me improve my character through feedback/ critique. On this forum, on streams, and everywhere else. Your feedback has been very helpful. Above are my final images for my ArtWar2 submission. Hope you like her!

great job, good luck!

bcbedford 2018-02-22 20:50:53 UTC #36

Really well done, mate! She looks absolutely adorable. I love the cute little smirk in the beauty shot render.
