[ENDED] BC2-1803 – March 2018 Class Homepage – Creating Stylized Characters with Blender

[Grady Pruitt]

Taking a quick break on my sculpt to take a look in here now that I’m home 😀

As for my story for my character, he’s an older, medieval style knight.  After losing his family to what appears to have been a dragon attack, he began a career hunting them down. At long last, he thinks he has tracked down the dragon responsible.  But years of battle have left his armor dented and his face and body scarred. When he finds the beast, he intends to slay it, but a curious gesture by the magnificent creature has him rethinking everything that he has been through.

This sounds like an interesting idea!  I’ll keep an eye out for your stuff.

[Kent Trammell]

Good read! I got some Sintel vibes, which is a good thing. Thanks for posting, Grady. 👍

[Kent Trammell]

Noooooooo…my heart hurts for you, @malhomsi. So no autosave salvation? .blend1 .blend2?

[Kent Trammell]

Today’s WIP of Mr. Dunne:

I’ve had to take some artistic liberties with the mask. It just didn’t work the way it’s drawn in the art, but I’ll talk more about that on Tuesday’s stream. The coat, and cloth in general, takes a long time to sculpt for me. I also had to figure out what the coat tails could be doing in the back.

But I feel that I’m over the hill with the sculpt overall, just need to polish off the waist area, arms and hands. Oh yeah..and the man purse..and the bunny mask…forgot about those.

[malhomsi]

that lovely ! i see that u r still avoiding hands 😉 how much time u spend on it till now sensei ? and if u dont mind i have a question : i choose a concept that is not mine , and even if i aiming to keep my sculpt as faithfull as i can to the concept , my own style just pop out ( couldnt salvage any auto save by the way ! ) is that ok .? is it a artistic liberty ?

Hey, I had a similar problem a few days ago, turns out blender saves every 5 minutes to the TEMP folder, I hope it is still there!

[Henrique Celeste]

Woow it’s looking so good already! Kent in your last post you said you separated the head from the body and added a mirror modifier to get the facial features correct. I need to do that too, but my character’s head is tilted and not facing straight forward, i think yours is too so how did you set the mirror modifier to mirror correctly?

BC2-1803 Homework Submission Week 1

Here it is, late and not particularly polished. I may come back to it, but if I’m going to participate I need to catch up.  It’s supposed to be Arnold; I was never quite able to capture the likeness, and eventually couldn’t really see where to go next, so feedback appreciated. No internet at home yet, so I had to take a picture of the screen with my phone.

For my character, I am pulling from a book that I have always wanted to turn into a film (Till We Have Faces).  I am choosing the priest of Ungit. Basically, I will be using pictures of Dhalsim from Street Fighter as concept art and trying to age him a bit and make him more gaunt and emaciated than muscular.  Then give him some ceremonial garb that would befit ancient Anatolia and this bird mask:

I love how the silhouette of the coat resembles a fox tail. It reinforces the fox motif in my mind.

Fashion croquis is a type of stylization, right?  I spent all day making the concept for Kilyn (kept getting bogged down in polishing things.  Stop it, me!) and really tried to emphasis her gracefulness as a dancer.  Tried an asymmetrical design, keeping it somewhat practical but also beautiful.  Not a lot of detail, but I want to add wing and raven motifs after brainstorming some more.

Any critiques are welcomed.

@ullreym Mind blown

[Jere Haapaharju]

I love that raven theme so much. It’s kind of hidden in the cloth shapes but when you see it, it’s obviously there and the swords cross-guard is great. Only thing that I’m doubting is the practical side of the high heels but that’s just my opinion, great concept 🙂
