Hi everyone,
I’ve yet to see if I will be able to participate fully in this contest or not, but I will try to do my best.
I will be working on re imagining the Egyptian mythology’s character Anubis from a cyber punk perspective. Will share more progress as the character takes form.
Initial collection of the References for the character design,
This reference board will evolve as the character develops, will share more when that happens 
I actually had a minor motor bike accident and it hindered my ability to use my pc, but fortunately i have finally gotten permission to do so from a doctor and will be continuing to participate in the contest,
Following is the blockout i have done today, I did a blockout earlier too, but the video format upload is not supported in the forum i guess, here is the latest update of what i have done today.
spent some time today balancing and fixing the character a bit, in the last iteration it felt a bit off balance and leaning forward, I’ve added the hands and the tail, tail is a bit tentative im not sure if i will keep it in the final one
spent my time today refining the anatomy even more, I wanted to work on the clothing but i could not let the anatomy go before i was satisfied with how it looked
Today I spent my time making minor tweaks to the body and started on getting the head where it should be at the blockout stage, the hard surface jaw got sculpted, lost a bit of history on the circular piece, but that is alright, it was not much, got everything in the timelapse
have been working with marvelous and trying to learn as much as i can throughout the process of making this character. First layer of the top done, 2nd layer to be done after the bottoms are finished
Finally got done with the pants yesterday, forgot to post the update here im pretty satisfied with them, next step is to create a puffy jacket
took the time today and did some polish on the pants and tweaked the hoodie a bit. its still all in marvelous designer, hopefully i can get to making the jacket soon so i can move on to getting it finished before the deadline
marvelous designer side of clothing complette, tried to get the clothing colors to match the theme of original Anubis, off to Zbrush to fix and tweak things, make the details and sewing patterns etc… but all that would be after the body parts are done first, with this atleast i know how he silhouette of the clothing looks
Made some changes to the head shape yesterday with some references to get the right anatomy matching with a species named xoloitzcuintli, will change lower jaw next
started overhauling the entire jaw structure to better fit the design and the vision i have,
But the limited time i get before starting work day, I have a feeling i might not be able to finish in time, but I will try my best to take it as far as i can
