I made a drew-over of my vision over the proxy

image

It's a very basic sketch as I'm better in 3d than 2d but it roughly represent the main idea and vibe I'm aiming for, although changes and additions are always an optional along the way.


also, I have created an a- pose version of the proxy after getting the basic volumes

image



next step is start exploring the big shapes in more depth

CONTEST ENTRY DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JANUARY 15, 2021

Some contest participants have been giving feedback that they may not have time to complete their projects, or may have to take shortcuts to make the November 30th deadline. 
To relieve some of this anxiety and give artists more time to do the quality job they want, RenderHub has decided to extend the entry period deadline to January 15, 2021. 

We thank you all for participating! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

A minor update

Dear Itayogev,

 Great watching the evolution from raw concept through to developing model/character.

 Suggestion. Place a breast pocket on the apron - running breast to breast and down to just above belly button. Iron working aprons have those for scribers, hard chalk, charcoals (or modern pencils), for marking work/lay-outs (since C17th).

 Consider also - forearms and apron would have pock-marks (burns - old/scars & new) - caused by flying sparks/iron chips.

 Good luck in the competition,
 Cheers,

 Rick.

Great feedback @RxLnx. I wish we could have more people interacting like this with the contest participants. 

@itayogev - I'm looking forward to seeing how you implement this. Keep up the nice work.

Dear Iyayogev and Competition Hostess - Ms Foxy,

 Wonderful to see your character progress - but always remember he is your creation, so always follow your heart, mind and instinct.

 Folks may make suggestions - but only take-on board those that are useful or valid. By doing this - you retain your individuality as an artist.

 I float around and watch. Sometimes I make suggestions (usually about character and storylines) if they might be helpful constructive.

 Should you want specific advice on something - feel free to message me directly (the envelop icon at the left under the member name and icon).

 Cheers,

 Rick.

It's amazing what you ended up with since your first proxy WIP. Following the progression of the entries has been a really fun part of this contest for me. 
Thank you for participating and for providing great WIPs along the way. I'm just the contest host and won't be judging - but best of luck to you!
