WIP: Suffocation




Hey !

After the Zippersuit, the third character i have to do is "Suffocation"; A concept by MurderousAutomaton ! You can see the artwork here

So, I'hve started with Zsphere this time...


Now, i will use "Dynamesh" to have an equal density of polygone everywhere. I will sculpt a bit and retopolologize to have a decent quad-mesh !
His arms are very long, so i hope they will not give him a ludicrous aspect :/

Beginning:


I have to continue the sculpt...

WIP: Dogwalker



Dear everyone :p,

I have started a new character on my free time! This is a request by Krzysztof Galus for his game: "insomnia is coming".
Also, i have to create a dogwalker, inspirated from artworks he sent to me (made by Torture Device).

RENDERS:

WIP SPOILER (click to expand)


This is the beginning...
I use ZB 4R2 with Dynamesh for extrude or add parts of this aweful monster !
I hope he will be creepy at the end :}




update: i have clarified most of main shapes... i must go ahead !



little update: this time, i have detailed some parts of him (right arm, guts...). this should not be obvious on these small screenshots. I must not waste my time on details ! lot of shapes are not finished !



New update:

I have started color, using polypaint in ZB



After a brief retopology (the low-poly is about 7300 tris) I calculated (xNormal has done for me actually) the normal and color made with ​​Polypaint plus, an ambient occlusion map!

Here are some screenshots with the maps applied that haven't been retouched yet.

Next program: improve the color map, create my spec map and gloss map ... then ... Skin the model









New update :













God damn ! at home on my computer, it seems very dark...
So i made a turn video, normally more visible than previous screenshots

Marmoset & animations

hello everyone,

I put on hold all my other work. I'm currently working on my portfolio and my showreel.

After several attempts to load animation in marmoset and seek good answers on internet I finally found the solution that suits me. As a user of 3ds max, import animations and loading was not evident.

So for those like me who are struggling to import animations in marmoset, I wrote a little .PDF explanatory.
However, as I did it for co-workers and friends, I have written in my mother language: french!

I will do an English version as soon as possible for those who do not understand our so pretty language : p

you can download the FR version here
or wait for EN.

have a nice day ;)

update: english version HERE

Dominance War V



WIP SPOILER (click to expand)


Hello, this year I decided to participate.

So I think creating a character named Ansgar. It is a Germanic-sounding name from the Germanic therefore "Ase": Divinity and "Gari": Lance.

He will certainly be a god of war provided a huge spear slay skulls.
Or a demon god of chaos.

Some research, some sketches and I will tell you more!

After some research, I decided to take inspiration from work of Joe Madureira in Darksiders.
Here is the lineart:



Because i didn't want to dwell too much on the concept, I added color briefly:
















I am currently seeking employment, and late! I have not finished .. However, I still working on this character as soon as I can.

Update:







I found some time recently to calculate the normals and bake occlusion and cavities maps.









up:














final render in turn:







Ansgar - Theology

Formerly wrongly revered as the god of earth and stone because of his appearance, He is actually the immortal god of war.
Born of the divine rock, unbreakable and impenetrable that He has himself created, on which the gods have based their sacred refuge beyond the visible. He is the incarnation of evil due to the war. Cruelty, violence, pride and intemperance are him master's words.

He knows neither fear nor pain. His mind and his strength found refuge in his arm stone where he was born. An isolated place, unchanging, outside of space and time.
The human race has destroyed her blue planet; believing that they would never have been achieved: the divine. They forgot who watch over them.
Ansgar, disagreeing with his family on the future of mankind, decided, while others advocated patience and tolerance, come to Earth in order to kick their asses and punish them.
Without pity, he is determined to decimate all the infidels and all other gods on his way.
He is thirsty for blood and carnage. From his mouth, he will vomit screaming vile, terrifying the enemy.

And by force and fear he will restore his former glory.
