This piece was made for my frnd Berry, and I truly enjoyed working on it. Berry was a wonderful client clear with the vision, creative with ideas, and super respectful throughout the process. It’s always a joy to work with someone who values the art and trusts the artist.

Here’s the Cyber Ant a creature of circuits and thought, wired for survival in a digital world. Grateful for the chance to bring this concept to life!

Digital Creatures Assessment 2

Design Ideas:

References:

Final Character Design:

Body shape:

Final design with notes of materials used for clothing:

I could not think of a good design for the shoes so I will develop them as I create the character

Character Body Low Poly:

Character Body Detailed:

Clothing Geo:

While creating the geo for the clothing I ran into some issues while creating the gloves and will need to see the tutor about it.

Detailed Clothing:

I’m happy with how the detail is coming along, I have run into some issues with the shoulder pads though and will need to see the tutor about this.

High poly character turnaround:

I’m very happy with the textured result however, I have run into issues when it comes to exporting the textures and the normal map for several areas. These being the body, one layer of the shoulders and the brackets for the back and front straps. I am not sure how to fix this as nothing I have done to correct it such as importing a new low poly or changing output types has worked.

Rendered character turnaround:

I am very pleased with the end result of this project, however, after doing the textured render I noticed that the nipples do not really show on the model as well as they did in Mudbox. If I had time to render this again I would make the nipples a pale pink similar to the lips so that they are actually noticeable. That being said however the lack of nipples does not subtract really for the design as they could also be under the chest straps of the armour.

Facial Blendshapes:

I decided to do the playblast and render without the helmet as only the faces happy, angry, fear and sadness can be read properly with it on. Eyebrows have not been included in the model as when the helmet is worn they cannot be seen. But I think the facial expressions still come across properly.

Anger:

Contempt:

Disgust:

Fear:

Happy:

Sadness:

Surprise:

This Is All So Familiar

Of all the things I've ever done, starting this blog is the most stupid. I don't know why I've done it, and I'm sure at some point it'll all vanish like everything else I've ever created. So enjoy it while it lasts.
