Looking good so far
are you working from a concept drawing or are you just sculpting as you go along? What will your artifact look like?

#22

I don’t have a beautiful concept but i have an ugly one :slight_smile: .
I don’t draw very well so i didn’t have spent to much time on it.
I did some quick research on paper before starting my character (i need to get a scanner to show you, mine is broken).
Otherwise i made a list of idee and i looked for photograph reference. But i stay free and some time i sculpt something just to try; like the tubes under the armpit. Most of the time i don’t like what i get, but some time…:bounce:

For the artifact i’m not yet completely decide but i aim to some african’s antique weapon.

#23

i still need to do the hand and some ribbon hung on the armor’s chest.
But this week i’ll take a rest.

#24

Very cool.

#25

ribcage and feet are very creative! *yoink…

#26

Man that’s RAD!!! Love it! Are you sure it’s your first try in Zbrush? Keep up your excellent work buddy! :slight_smile:

#27

Thanks men for your support! :bounce: I will try to proceed and i’ll do my best.
“RAD” ?? i didn’t find it in my lexicon :smiley:

#28

The hand:

#29

I have still not begin the artefact :sad: but i finished the cloths today (i hope :slight_smile: ).

#30

A shoot of the back and front cloths:

My wife doesn’t like the loincloth on the front…:sad: May be she’s right. I don’t know if i will keep it.
Comment are welcome.

May be i will be able to finish my character :scream:

#33

Yeah that’s awesome for the extension!
Your weapon rocks man! Love it!
It reminds me the Quake logo for some reason!

#34

Quake? :eek: F*** you’re right!
Though, i didn’t notice it. It’s not exactly the same thing but it’s strange that i didn’t note it.
I got my inspiration from several primitives african’s weapons and for me it had the look of a hugh bottle-opener. :smiley:

#35

Wanna see this finished.

im not one for 3d so i cant offer much help there haha but I am one for design and I think this guy needs a blind fold! Or better yet! A visor Like on star trek or Cyclops! That would be sick, with just a thin line across it.
Also maybe some feet guards too, feels to naked down there ;-D

Thanks for your advice. I had imagine a blindfold at the begining, i liked the fact that the character didn’t have to see for the fight, better than this he saw you in a different way , but on the other side the look of a character is really importante. And i decide to show is eyes (they will be glowing like fire).
However that may be, i don’t have enough time to go back on sculpting. I’m in normal backing and retopologie and i have some troubles :sad: As you can see:

The retopologie doesn’t seem to work when you do it on a subtool than you have created with “Extract” in subtool.
Precisely, retopologie operate and you can look the preview of the adaptive skin but if i active Tool>Projection>“Projection” and clic A: my adaptive skin explode…

If anyone can help me.

#39

Oh my god! All the day fighting with retopology fonction in zbrush… I didn’t live such an epic day since a while! :slight_smile:
And all the day just for the arm…

1- the subtool after extracting a mask.
2- the retopology with Z_sphere.
3- the level 01 of the resulting adaptive skin.
4- the level 01 with his normal map in Maya.

Same process for his dress:

I will improve the edge flow later.
