Change Of Design

Change Of Design



After concept sculpting from random images of existing creatures, I decided to set myself more of a brief in order to have something to push me and help aid my design, so that I could gather better reference and keep on track.

I decided to base my creature sculpt on Yoshimitsu from Tekken as he is a character that I have always been fond of, and his design also changes in every iteration of the game. For this reason, I decided to set myself the task of creating a new Yoshimitsu, as if I was designing the next version of him for the game. 

By setting this brief, I aim to keep myself motivated and hopefully stop myself from constantly changing my idea, so that I can move onto creating a final piece on time. 

Below are some images of the variations of the Yoshimitsu character. I will not be using only these images as reference, but will expand my reference search to other similar character designs that include a creature/alien in a costume/exo-suite.

I quite like some of the hard surface armour combinations with the organic form as it gives an interesting contrast so I will incorporate something similar in my own designs.

Unwrapping

Unwrapping When it came to unwrapping the alien bust, I decided to split the textures up into 4 UV sets. I first unwrapped the whole model and then created a texture set for the head, the body, the armour and the eyes. In order for these texture sets to be recognised in Substance Painter, I had to give each texture set it's own material so that Painter would know it had a separate UV. Above is the UV checker pattern used to check the UVs weren't stretched and to help maintain even texel density across the mesh. Below is the retopologised mesh with the four texture sets split up by material.

More Concepts

More Concepts I continued experimenting and trying to narrow down a concept for the armor that my character was going to have. For these concepts I reused a few bits that I liked from the previous concepts I had and added pieces together.

Refining Creature Concept And Anatomy

Image
Refining Creature Concept And Anatomy I have continued to refine my creature concept by improving the anatomy and adding extra details to the face and mouth. I decided to detach the lower jaw so that I could get a better view inside the mouth, and so that I could add gums and teeth easier. I also improved on the anatomy slightly to get a better feel of how the creatures bones would stick out and it's skin would crease and wrinkle etc. I still need to improve further on it but I feel it's getting better. I experimented with adding hard surface exo-skeleton bones that would be extruding out of the skin.
