Warlock Challenge - Crow Indian Warlock

WiP: [Warlock Challenge] - [Crow Indian Warlock]

My goal with this challenge was to learn since it’s my first time doing a full character and the idea was to go on a different path of what’s usually thought as a warlock.

Created with Blender 2.8 and Substance Painter

Final Submission!

As the deadline is here! The warlock challenge is done!
I’ve started this challenge with an idea I had my self. Once the challenge was open I started drawing and from that drawing/ concept, I started to sculpt. Normally I would look for a cool concept on the internet but I wanted to challenge my self in the challenge(pun intended). As the quarantine and work started to stack up it was hard and there were some really late nights. But Loved every moment of it!

As I type my final submission in the blog you can follow the progress of my work! Here are the final result images. They were Rendered in Maya Arnold, Composited in Resolve/fusion, and final logo and image combination was done in Photoshop. The whole project was done with Zbrush, Substance Painter, Maya, Marvelous Designer, and Substance Alchemist for the clothing patterns( which I made my self.).

Warlock Challenge - [“Shika Ryūō 鹿龍王”]

Hello everyone, I’m Jonathan Lee from Singapore and here is my piece for this challenge.

Artstation : https://www.artstation.com/cove989

[Lenu]

Evros.

They say Evros was the first, and will be the last. We live inside its glands, travelling the universe without it even realizing.
This is a story we tell children, we have no proof that we live inside the glands of a celestial being, however when a sorcerer uses their magic, rumors say that you can see Evros the second the spell is cast - only for a split second. Are we borrowing minuscule amounts of power? Does it have a price?

Breakdown:

Thanks again to the team at Flipped Normals for the opportunity to participate in the challenge! I look forward to looking through everyone’s final submissions. A well done to those that have submitted already, really cool projects so far!

[tristan]

[nemanjo]

Greetings this is my first ever competition so i would be really happy if i get some great feedback from experienced artists…anyway this should be my final render.

P.S. I see that most of the guys are pretty far ahead of me here so may the best one win.

Hi!
Finally I’m done!
I’m quite happy, there is a room for improvement, but it’s my second character ever done, and for the first time I have to deal with proper topology, and many other things.

Overview:

1. Final render:
Unfortunetelly I didn’t have time to do some background

2. View from diffrent sides:
-front:

-side:

-back:

3. UV:
It’s quite noisy but I decided to get more detail on tris, cause they are kind of cheap so the whole model got around 1mln polygons.
(19 UDIMS, maybe alittle bit to much, but the wings are huuge )

4. Topology(Ugh … ):

5. Textures:
-Base Color:

-Height + Normal:

-Roughness:

-Scattering:

-Metallic:

Link to textures in 1k, in render they were mainly in 2-4k.

7. My thread:

[Warlock Challange] - [Succubus]

Hi! I’m working on a project of a woman warlock (it is similar to a succubus and has some features of it ;)). I don’t have any background story right now, but I’ll keep you updated with posts. I started with a simple base mesh. We’ll see what is going to look like because I haven’t decided yet which concepts of mine I would stick to. Anyways, best regards Good Luck & Have Fun [day_1]

It was a great oportnity to compete with group of such talented artists!
Good luck evryone!

Hello guys!

My journey was full of errors and problems which i had to solve. And I have learned a lot by working on this project. So I am really happy that i have joined this awesome challenge.

Here I am representing my work called Fallen Monk by the great concept artist KillArt https://kilart.artstation.com/

I hope you enjoy it!
And as always critical feedbacks are welcome!

Final render:

As a render engine I have used Vray GPU. This is my first time experimenting with Vray.
It ran on a single RTX 2080. Most of the time it rendered really smooth. But the problem came with displacement maps where the mesh was subdivided. For some reason, it decided to break face normals. I couldn’t come up with quick fix, so I have decided to run it on a already subdivided model.

Interactive Xgen for the body hairs

Textures:

for the Textures I have used several Udims divided into sets. (lazy me used UVmaster for the UVs of skulls)

Wireframe:

I have decided to use mostly subdivision level 2 from zbrush

additional renders:

Thank you very much for having a look at my work.
Cheers!
Baji
