Jurgen Botha’s art blog

Hi

Here is a character of mine called "Boa" that I've had in mind, drawn and worked on, on and off for some years

I recently started working on him again.

Boa is a kick-boxer of sorts

My name is Jurgen Botha, I am an artist living in South Africa. I hope you enjoy my posts and feel free to comment, always welcome.

Hi cedricgo.
Thank you for the welcome
Awesome, thank you very much , I appreciate it.

Here is a front view of Boa's head so far
I might want to make him look a bit older, not sure yet.

The idea for him is that he is a type of experienced kick-boxer, so I want to bring that over in his design.

I've started making a type of study of Boa's anatomy through drawing topology over the image I made earlier.
I would very much like to make a 3D NPR model of Boa in the near future.
The topology drawing gives me an idea for work in Blender later.

Here I colour coded different parts of the back and shoulders

I started modeling Boa

Thank you very much malcolm

I'm quite happy with the topology so far. I want to finish the model for use in the Godot engine.
Either through rendered 2D sprites or a 3D model. My dream is to make a fighting game

I'm working in Blender and as a test I added an emission shader with a solidify modifier for the black outline.
At a later stage I want to texture the model in Subtance Painter, adding 'inked' details and such

As a test so far, I started painting black line details on the torso mesh in Substance Painter

Colour-wise I am thinking of going for a darker tone.

Here is another work in progress of mine.
He is a type of angelic assassin character.

Thank you cedricgo

This character is a type of Tomb Guardian.
