Black Goat - Character Modeling

For my first post on The Rookies, I present to you The Black Goat. I created this Sculpt from an artwork made by the talented Galahad. It's been a long time since I saw this artwork on the social medias and I was very inspired by it. So, after many months, I decided to make a 3D Sculpt about it and here it is!

The whole character

And a little close up of the skull !

As you can see above, I present you more details about my work. Let's have some explanations, shall we ?

First of all, I start by looking for references: Anatomy, details about the artwork, 3D references, real life inspirations, etc etc...

And then, it's off to the sculpt! I usually work on Zbrush first for my sculpts. Trying to make good proportions, to look like the model,...

 I make the Retopo on Maya, I think it's a very relaxing process (until Maya start to bug) but really difficult when you want a smooth geometry without too many polys. 

Next, I work on Substance 3D Painter for the texturing. It's fascinating to see  all the textures that can be created with this software. I often have really good surprises. 

And last step, I put it all on Maya, create some sweety lights and then click on the Rendering button! 

I let you with a Process view in pictures. Hope you'll  appreciate my first post!
