Nice mask! Great choice of colours and silhouette. Cool stuff!

@Acolet Thanks! I agree, there's been a lot of iteration on the design and it's finally in a spot I'm happy with.
@felipechaves Thanks! As for your question... That's the plan.
@timdan Thanks!
@archsider I really appreciate that, as design is one of the things I always struggle with. I'm actually just using Pearl Cavity and a modified MAH_shiny/ZMetal.
@fantasymaster Thanks, I'm hoping it all comes together in the end.

I think this is the final on the sculpt. Retopo is underway! Next update: Bakes.

looking super solid!

haZe 2018-02-18 22:01:15 UTC #25

Finished the low poly and bakes. Pushing to have a texture update soon!

haZe 2018-02-21 22:18:22 UTC #26

Progress on textures, and blocked in a simple background in Marmoset.

Oh man, that background looks really neat! I really dig the understated look so the focus remains on your central character. Can't wait to see the final shot!

I really love this handpainted textures

haZe 2018-02-27 23:41:46 UTC #29

Thanks @shawnalio and @rosko_82!

@bcbedford Thanks! I definitely want to keep it understated, though I'll beef it up a bit beyond just primitives.

The rig's in a pretty good place, so I'm starting poses and polish!

-Experimenting with dramatic darker shots. Will probably have to play with the materials a bit to punch it.

-I'm also figuring out how I'm going to present him with and without the mask... Easy enough with multiple images, but I need to figure out the direction for the final shot and viewer file.

Ow man, this is looking Fantastic!!! I loved the textures and the background is looking super cool!!
Maybe, to show his face and also the mask, you can try like a over shoulder pose or something like that, with one of the hands holding the knife and any other hand holding the mask. I don't know if it will look good... but I think worth to try.
I just imagine him as a mysterious assassin, being chased by someone after he murder someone... Then suddenly, he stops and just before he disappears into the darkness, he look back and show his face... something like that, I don't know! hahaha! xD Just an idea.

Something like this maybe:

Daniel_Velph 2018-03-01 04:27:01 UTC #31

The textures are so clean, I love it. For presentation, maybe he can be holding the mask on one of his hands?
Maybe a shot where he is either half-way taking it off / putting it on. Just a random idea haha

@felipechaves Thanks! "POTG" didn't quite work out like I hoped thematically, but thank you for the idea!
@Daniel_Velph This was a great idea, thanks! It was a hard choice. In additional images I'll have his mask on.

This is looking like my final shot, with additional images. I'll probably add a bit more on my ArtStation. Marmoset viewer can be seen up top! ^^ Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

fantasymaster 2018-03-07 09:51:35 UTC #33

This is incredible! I like the clean shapes and the design of this. Good luck!
