4th and final head sculpt of the week! This one was HARD to get right and I'm sure I'll notice things I want to change when I look at her tomorrow, but for now she's in a good enough state.
Feeling good about what I've got done this week! Regained my mojo after christmas + flu

Yesterday's practice sculpt! Couldn't get it "right" so I continued working on her a bit today rather than moving onto a new sculpt.
It's not always best to linger on something you're stuck on, but it *can* be worth pushing through - learning when is the hard part.

One of my goals this year is to do way more anatomy/likeness practice every week. Starting it a little late into Jan as I've been full of flu, so here's morning practice sculpt #1!

Helldivers, Elden Ring and BG3 absolutely dominating my time spent on steam this year which... makes sense honestly. Gamed far less as the year went on, for... reasons 🥲
(dota is only 3rd cos I leave it on in the background while I work on skins so I can quickly check for clipping issues n shit)

WIP update: Attempted a more handpainted/stylised PBR approach on these metals which I think looks quite good!
Unfortunately dota's aggressive texture downsizing turns the details to mush in-game so I'll probably have to simplify heavily and keep these for a seperate "HD" portfolio piece 🥲

You can use these to mock up colourschemes if you haven't already got one in mind. OR try out your favourite 40k schemes on your own characters (Warning: very easy way to procrastinate 😅)
Layer on your value paint and you can very quickly get an idea of how things'll end up!

After that I make masks for my major colour regions. These are usually pretty quick to put together by colour picking from your ID map.
Like the value paint, keep these masks at the bottom of the stack and give them Anchor Points to easily reference later!

Still chipping away at this guy, so in the meantime I want to quickly talk about a couple things I do when starting new textures. 🧵
First up I always make a folder where I build a nice value underpaint. The goal is to establish a nice dark-light gradient and get the surface info to start popping.

Repost 'cos I forgot alt text like a dummy. Made a quick "inner glow" test last night (it's super easy to do this, just invert the AO bake and mask it to the areas you want!)
Looks pretty cool with the lights turned off!

WE HAVE WINGS!!
After tons of topology, UV & LOD tweaks I finally have the full game-ready lowpoly (with quick test textures!)
I have one *tiny* change left to make but godamn does it feel good to be this close! I can't wait to start on proper textures :))

Glad to see something positive pop up in my notifications for a game I desperately want to see succeed. You can tell the Wayfinder team poured everything they had into the game just by looking at how incredible every 3d asset is.

Been kinda throwing myself into work to distract myself from everything so here's a small update! Lowpoly (LOD0) looking good on everything besides the wings!
Texture space budgets are pretty tight on this but I'm happy with how the test bakes are looking :)

After some minor issues (due to me being a dumbass mostly) we are looking *crispy*
UVs not final! Still gotta align stuff and snap stuff and probably tweak some edge padding, but I think this layout is solid!

Small update on this guy! Clarified the arm anatomy, simplified the sword design to read better from the in-game cam angle, swapped out the shoulder blades for spikes/studs and many more small tweaks. Think the design is now final!
File is tidied up and prepped for retopo too :)

Quick update on something I've been working on for quite a while now! It's a scifi skin for dota 2's archdemon character Doom.
Next up: a lil more zbrush, then retopo and test bakes!

Not one of my playthrough characters but maybe some inspo for anyone looking to play a different take on a druid- check out this spooky "Satyr" tiefling :)
