Boop!

I think I'm finally happy with the composition and lighting and ready to call Boop finished. It was a little bit of a struggle to balance the butterfly in front of the eye and have it read well but hopefully pushing the chromatic on it helps somewhat.  I did consider adding some supporting butterflies to help with this but didn't want to crowd the scene or take away from Boop. I also tried other colors but they just didn't feel right.

Anyway, here's the overall pipeline that was used if anyone's interested:

-Rough Concept in Photoshop

-Block-Out/Modelling in Zbrush

-UVs/Rigging in Maya

-Texturing in Substance Painter

-Glitter Material in Substance Designer (not sure how well this reads in the final but a lot of fun to make)

-Lighting/Rendering in Substance Stager and Marmoset Toolbag

Thanks to the Rookies and Adobe for hosting the challenge! It was a lot of fun

Update: decided to push the Chromatic Aberration on the butterfly and hopefully get a bit more contrast between the Robot's eyes as I felt it blended too closely together

Quick turn around.  I still need to tweak a few things before finishing it up

Quick Rig in Maya and posed.  Decided I wanted to add something and went with the idea of a butterfly

I wanted to tie this into sci-fi somehow and went with this kind of glowy circuit board look

decided to go with some pink purple colours for the paint job and  afterwards decided  to add in some glitter into the paint too.  Hope you like!

Playing with some eye shapes.  I think I might stay with the original design but I'll keep experimenting to see if anything sticks

Bake is done and here's the first pass of the texture in Spainter

I'm not much of a drawer but this was enough to go off for me
