The Tick

Philip Weygandt · Apr 2012

This thread will show my process from start to finish with this Saturday morning cartoon character known as the Tick.

The requirements for this build is 1200 tris and a texture sheet no larger than 512 X 512 ....

ALL feedback is welcome

After making a few adjustments the poly count has gone up past the requirements. I've fixed the side of the head,chin and built up his legs and fixed his ankles. Finally I fixed and removed the eyes i figured that I'll just create the eye area with both the normal map and color map to help save on the poly count.

Any feedback is welcome

Added additional edge loops to bulk up pectoral muscles.

All comments welcome

I would suggest having the picture show directly on polycount instead of a link to it. To do this use the IMG code provided by photobucket, and paste that into the thread

This is my favorite Super hero, so you better do him justice or this will end badly for you

His chin looks like a duck's beak.

Alright and i went back in to fix his chin. ALL comments welcome

Philip Weygandt · Apr 2012

Is there anything else that should be fixed before I start to uv unwrap and import into zbrush?

All comments welcomed.

I wouldn't bother UVing him at this point. You'll most likely have to retopo once you've got your your sculpt sorted, so save that for afterwards. You've got a few triangles which are likely to interfere wih your sculpting. The pole on the back of the hand is likely to be a particular pain in the proverbial, though it's easily fixed..
