Its about time i took part of something here on the forum, so here is my Earh/Rock invoker.
Just a thumbnail so far, but i´ll try to be active and update it soon.

#2

Color update.

Nothing fancy just a quick paintover.
Its gonna be interesting to find a way to keep the polycount down with all the stones and stuff.

#3

Hey man! Nice to see some more people from school!

Looks like he is kind of riding on moving dirt, cool…

Good luck!

later…

#4

Nice sense of motion in the sketch.
Somehow this makes me want to play warcraft again.
Storm, Earth and FIIIREE! :buttrock:

Keep it up.

#5

Front and sideview

Still havent decided on a name and backstory for him yet.

#6

Nice and simple concept, I like it very much:). This is gonna look cool when modeled.
All the best:thumbsup:

#7

Latest update, still havent decided the design on the staff yet.
Feel free to comment. I´ll probably post some suggestions later.

#8

Latest update. I´m gonna change the design of the weapon, i think its kinda bland.
Im also thinking of adding tattoos, the cgs logo could look good on him.

#9

I’m almost done with the model, and i’m curently fixing my uv-map. This is the part i that i hate. I can’t be the only one, can i? :slight_smile: I´ll post a quickrender tomorrow. Then its z-brush time!

#10

The basemesh doesn’t look much right now, but its only a couple of hours lazy work.
Some changes tomorrow, aswell as some rigging and zbrush.
Its about 2800 triangles right now. I want a buffer for addons later.
The hair and beard will be added as alphas on a plane(a lot of planes :))
Comments are always welcome.

#11

Wow! The old man is rockin!! I like his pose on post #7 :thumbsup:

Maybe to keep the polycount down, you can use plane+texture+normal for the smaller rocks. Even if they get to be animated, nobody will notice since they’re small and fast-moving.

#12

Nice to see you’ve begun modelling too. :slight_smile:
The character mesh looks nice. Will you give him some armour or any means of protection? Right now he looks a bit vulnerable. :stuck_out_tongue:

Looking forward to more updates! :buttrock:

#13

I’ve made some updates to my model, and there is no mayor changes for him.
I ended up with right under 4000 triangels, so now im looking into adding more elements to him.
I dont wanna bog down the character with armor, instead the rocks around him will be both defence and offence.
I have also looked into and figured the hairproblem. I think im gonna call it off for today, but im looking forward to tomorrow now that i’ve got a good workflow going.

Thaks for the comments bye the way!

#14

WIP - Zbrush.
I’ll be back to update in a couple of days.
