Hoplite soldier

So there´s a ton of images in here but man I wanted to show off. This is my first human done in CG. It started as a likeness project (I won´t say who was i supposed to be but you can guess) but ended up more as a generic human than anything else.

The human was created as part of the Antroupus course with Mr. Kris Costa, honestly, it´s far from the level of my classmates and Kris but all things considered I´m pretty happy with the result. All the detail is hand sculpted and hand painted. No comercial brushes, photos, textures or anything like that has been used, just pure GeometryHD and Polypaint in Zbrush.

Honestly, to me it´s not the best way to work but definetly the best way to learm, forcing myself to replicate that amount of detail with just three brushes has sharpened my observation skills but there is still a long road ahead in that regard.

The grooming was done in XGen, and after I got the hang of it I had a lot of fun working on it.

The armor and clothing were also an interesting challenge and I used Substance Painter to get the materials right.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this fella
Cheers!
