I am doing a round of characters for the game Overgrowth, and I was hoping to improve this as much as possible!

first comment! and great start im just mesmerized by the face, its spot on

Looking pretty cool, nice work.

The pose bugs me, its off balance.
The cloth is a bit weird, it looks hard edged?

very nice work.
but i read that the cloths will be seperated, right?

Correct. This is for the IGF submission and we hope to get the clothing system later, unless it ends up looking worse.

maybe arch his back a bit

Pectorals, deltoids, and trapezius look very weak and vertically squashed. I know you're working with some tweaked/nonhuman proportions but it gives the impression of a poorly attached, awkward arm. A very skinny/light human in fighting shape looks something like:


the strong, locked in structure of the pecs/delts/trap onto the arm and shoulder is a big part of what people recognize as fighters. The muscles can be small if you want a light, athletic character, but without the sturdy-but slender shape all around where the arm attaches -- all the muscles that throw the arm forward or couch it for a hit -- he looks like he did bicep curls at the rabbit gym but has never thrown a punch in his life, and couldnt without his arm breaking off.

nice start, I was on the overgrowth site yesterday I agree about the pose, looks kind of stiff, he seems to be leaning forward a bit.

Update:


changed the chest, abs, lats and ears.

Thanks a ton for the feedback!

curve his spine a bit he has a little of the "flat as a board" syndrome gong on atm, will make him look much more natural as well. bending the elbows ever so slightly will help this too.


-Woog

Much better! I dig.

Here is how the bake came out:


Thanks for the feedback!

Bake came out awesome! You didn't burn the cookies!
Post more Overgrowth later

I like your rabbit character and Overgrowth looks promising, good luck!

I've seen this on the wolfire blog, great sculpt, looking forward to see it rigged in an alpha release

EDIT: Maybe one thing, the chest to stomach part seems a bit flat, I'd personally like to see it more defined. Well, what woogity said basically! But great work man

Looking good Ninjas

Very good!!!

Yay, awesome

Texture update-- in engine

Flats? Also, is there a spec map or is this diffuse only? I'm not seeing an effective use of specular.

looks awesome. agree on the spec. GET SOME SPEC IN THERE!

Hey Aubrey will that be Turner?

Yes, this is going to be Turner for IGF, unless I redo it before then

Flats:



the light angle doesn't show the spec well. I will post another shot later.

that looks nice
what's your polycount on baked, can i see mesh?

I think the cloth should have a bit more spec than the fur. I've never seen light catch a rabbit's fur, but i've certainly seen specular on more canvasy fabric. Your spec has a ton of good detail but i dont think there's a strong enough material definition. The leather definitely needs brightening up -- it's getting lost in the noise of its detailing, even the darkest/most worn parts of it should be lighter on your spec map than the fur.

On the diffuse, in the end this is a matter of style, but i'd like to see some sharper details on the cloth and musclature creased in a bit. I know realistically speaking the fur would obscure this but leaning torward a more manga/comic stylization (because, i mean, ninja rabbits) might be a good idea; quick paintover for the kind of thing i mean.



Shaping up awesome, though!
