Character Art and Character Props

Beauregard Lionett

This was a very fun but challenging project for me, since there were lots of things I had barely or never done before, like hair cards and texturing realistic clothing. The lowpoly especially was a pain, since I had to match the edge flow from one layer of clothing to the one beneath. 

This was rendered in Unreal Engine 4 with ray tracing. I created a skin shader that makes use of a cavity map like in Marmoset Toolbag and a bit of fresnel to the roughness and specular to fake peach fuzz. I also created a cloth shader with fresnel and where I can assign 4 (or any number) of detail normal maps using a grayscale mask.

Futuristic Pilot's Helmet

I've always loved the aesthetics of sci-fi helmets, so I created one myself from scratch!

Making hard surface in ZBrush was definitely a challenge, but very fun and easier than I initially imagined.  While designing this, I took a lot of inspirations from fighting jets. I also wanted to add a bit of story to the helmet, which is why the back piece is of a different color, presumably an older model the owner had when they were younger, with stickers and the autograph of someone they looked up to.

Weathered Backpack

This is a backpack that I made that includes a fully dynamic rain and snow shader!

The Last of Us has incredible characters that wear these beautiful backpacks. I've always admired them so I took this opportunity to make one myself. I took inspirations from the different environments of the game and created a rain and snow shader for my own backpack.

That's everything I wanted to show! Thanks for reading through my submission, and I hope you liked it!
