    Default BioWare CGHUB 2012 3D Challenge - Mass Effect


    Hi There!
    This is my first post here. Mass Effect is one of my favourite games ever, and I am so excited to join this challenge!
    I am not a concept artist, but I will start with a sketch to put together some ideas I have about a new ipotetic race.
    I will probably develop a bit more this idea before starting modeling.
    C&C are welcome!

      I started blocking out the shape of the body in zbrush, modifying my initial idea (basically I like to extend the concept phase to zbrush, as I can better see the volumes).
      This is still a sketch: I like the direction the head is taking, but I am not totally sure what to do with the body. As I wish to cover him with a full armour, I could save some time not worrying too much about the body, but at the same time I wish to give him a more alien look with strange proportions/appendices.

        I just drawn an armour on top of the zbrush model.
        I see there are some parts where I lost the initial pose, especially the legs, and the arms are really undefined.

          I started building the armour on the torso.
          I wasn't sure to show such a wip, but it was a while I didn't post anything

                  Thanks doses and Judgernaut, I really appreciate it!

                  Here a small update. I will add some more details and then polish what I don't like. Hope to finish the sketch model before the end of the year

                  Marry Xmas to everyone!

                        Sadly I will probably not be able to finish in time, but here there is an update to the armour. It is my intention to complete this model even after the challenge will be over.

                          Well, here my last update before the challenge it's over.
                          I cleaned up some parts of the body, especially the arms.
                          I don't know if this thread will be closed, I eventually will move it to the wip forums as I want to finish this guy
