Man With Scars

Man with scars

Hi there

It's been a while, but , I wanted to show you my last project called " Man with scars".

It a project I did in order to practice anatomy modeling, and clothes, it was really fun to do.

I was also a bit inspired by The Last of Us part1 when I decided to design the character.

Also, because I m cool, i will share with you the breakdown of it.

Tri 39 438

To start the project, i use a basemesh I did few weeks ago in order to speed up my process, I was fine with it and it helps me a lot.

When i had done with it, I tried to find the good references, and that a big challenge.

I wanted an asian character, so i used "anatomy for sculptor" to get the asian eye form shapes. My mistakes was to be too focus on shapes that I like than on shapes that would make my character more believable.

So I decided to stick with one real person as reference, because I m a HUGE fan of Arsenal FC, I decided to chose Takehiro Tomiyaso face reference.

It wasn't a likeness challenge, the goal was only get the proper shapes in order to make a face that could be more believable.

REFERENCE IS KEY! here the 3 steps i went through to get the final design and the person I used as reference

What happened next? I needed to find reference for clothes and colors. So I used some artwork from Naughty dog concept and Gop Gap.

Of course I use asos website to find the clothes that could fit with my vision and help for the details.

By the way, because i was going to use a new software for the clothes, I picked up the clothes in consequence. Doing a simple and good design is better than go for a big AAA design, struggling and give up.

Now, lets make clothes, because it was the first time, I use a lot of tutorial on youtube in order to accomplish this task,  to be honest, it wasn't that hard and I have fun with it.

Blocking to refine with all my references on side.

Once done, time to retopo and unwrap all of this...

I decided to do not go too high in term of polygons , except for face.

Next? Texturing.

Stick with basic references and add some story telling. I like it!

For the face, I watch the skin turtorial from J Hill on youtube and for the clothes I used my references.

When everything was done, time present the character, change the pose, setting lights..

And Yeah, that it, thank you if you still here.

See you later.

Take care

Bye
