Hmm that character reminds me a lot of the style in Firefall, pretty neat tho

Thanks! Agreed, not a terribly original idea but fun to mush robot and human parts together.

Really diggin this marker sketch from that Fire Fall art link

Character bust, getting more time in with Zbrush is really fun

MOAR! From Jason Martin's class over at Game Art institute. Having way too much fun with this. Heres the GAI link if anyone is interested: https://www.gameartinstitute.com/

Whoa! 2d and 3d! keep it up man, really like to see people take concepts all the way through the process. this stuff maybe there off-line but I'd love to see more iterations of the design stuff ie 20-30 thumbs rather than 5-10. I think that will really help you push the silhouettes and make even more interesting characters/creatures.

Heya thanks! Really appreciate the feedback. Totally agree with yah, and I usually do way more thumbnailng to get a handle on the shape language early. This guy is sort of an experiment in pushing a character from concept to game ready asset.

BTW you have some awesome work on your thread!

what @tmhlaba said. Awesome stuff. I need to get back into 3d. Awesome work and I look forward to more.

bennettdurfee 2017-02-27 22:23:41 UTC #20

Thank yah @malcom ! Definitely get back in there I've been finding 3d to be real useful and fun for concepting.
