Polybook – drgnclw

@malhomsi Thanks 😀

@smurfmier1985 Thank you. I like the darker pants a bit better too but I’ll probably export two textures with both colors to see how much lighting will have an effect.

Update time! I slacked off a bit but only the eyes are left to texture. I made a very simple looking wood material for the shaft of the poleaxe, textured both weapons (I decided to leave the dagger out because… well, reasons 😛 ) textured the face (Eyelashes are textured but the opacity doesn’t look good in viewport render for some reason and since I can’t set up proper lighting in SP’s Iray, so they’re not in the screenshots) and also pretty much finished the the helmet. I’ll take a day off tomorrow and look into texturing the eyes next day and after that, I’ll rest my eyes for a day and then fix a couple minor issues, add some more small details and maybe play around with some texture values. Of course, I’ll take your criticisms into consideration too.

@drgnclw ❤️ It! Keep going 😊

[odunov]

After some rigging issues and more slacking, I’m almost finished with this project. I’ll look at this with fresh eyes tomorrow and maybe change some stuff around with the lighting and also set up for a close up render of the helmet.

https://cgcookie.com/u/drgnclw/projects/man-at-arms  Yay, I’m done! It was a long process, it was tiring etc. I mentioned these before 😀

I’d like thank @theluthier @jlampel you guys (and every other instructor too) for everything I learned from you.

Now it’s time to rest a bit.

@drgnclw I left you a comment on your project page. I’m so impressed! Really nice work and congrats 👏

Also thank you for the kind words. Proud instructor over here:

I watched some ZBrush tutorials (sorry 🙁 ) yesterday and doodled around with a couple of things. Today, I collected some troll references and sculpted a troll-like creature. Also polypainted it 😀 

[odunov]

Skull study. Gonna make more adjustments tomorrow. I might turn this into a little project before starting my next character.

[Pavel Mazanik]

@drgnclw I think this is confirmation of idea, that we’re doing almost the same stuff in synch xD

[odunov]

@nekronavt Looks like it 😀 If you study some female facial anatomy and then start working on a female character next, I’m gonna get scared 😀

[Pavel Mazanik]

@drgnclw It would be funnier if I said that I really am, but nah, have no character projects for now. Just pumping up overall basic shapes and anatomy 🙂

[odunov]

Finished the skull. I outlined the different bones without the fancy wobbly lines 🙂 There are still some issues but lessons learned.

More individual studies. I also sculpted an eye but it really isn’t worth showing. It took me some time and it isn’t polished at all.

And today, I sculpted a female face. I wanted to finish this in about two hours but the eyes gave me some trouble so it took an hour or two more than that (didn’t count the hours after the second hour :D) 

I’m gonna do a couple more busts then start working on another character.

[odunov]

I tried out sculpting a likeness but it seemed very difficult so here’s another generic female face that’s probably going to be the face of my second character 🙂 I tried out a couple of different eyebrow styles and I promise you, she look much less weird with them 😀 I’ll play around with the model some more tomorrow, look into zremeshing and then I’ll start learning about grooming and hair cards.

I’m also thinking about spending an hour a day on learning more about sculpting (basically, watching the art of sculpting course and doing some daily exercises)

Let me know if you have any ideas to improve the face visually.
