The character I have decided to go on for my next project is below and made by Kyoung Hwan Kim.
I am drawing myself but I am still far from beeing happy with my results that's why believe at this stage should go and pick some great concepts from great artists.
I will post my progress at the end of every day so till the character is finished this tread will get preety big. Please feel free to make comments, I am learning and sharing in the same time and hopefully we all gain something from this experience.
At every starting point I begin by gathering references as you can see below.
I also started to think how I should retopologize the character later so it looks good while animated.
Please let me know what you think, anything you would make different.
I believe mirrored arms and legs will work just fine.
I didn't specify, I am targeting a 10-12k character that could work fine in a console game.
That's it for now, next step is to block out the mesh in Z-brush.
