Hi
I’m doing a goblin for the contest. The idea is that he is an alchemist who makes potions and toxins from scorpions, toads, etc. He also has a little friend, who helps him inspire his ideas 
.
It’s still very early, I’m doing the blockout and developing the design/idea right now 
have changed the design a bit. Wanted him to have some cages with scorpions, so i thought it would be a good idea to incorporate some of the cages shape on his head. I think the silhouette works a lot better from the side as well.
Looks great–lots of personality!
The blockout took longer than expected, but I’m finally in a good spot! I might make a few minor adjustments later, but for the most part, it’s time to start refining the shapes now 
Changed the design once again. Was not happy with the front, so i added a few spikes to the head and some shoulders. The idea of his shoulders is that he’s using it as a little garden for his mushrooms. I wanted the curly (scorpion tail) shape of his shoulders in the silhouette from the front, but it has a function as well. It keeps the mushrooms in shadow.
i’m thinking about removing the cage on the back. Let me know what you think
I think it’s better to keep it, adds even more character to him. It could give him even more mystery element if you could just add some feet/talons that are barely visible under the cloth (without actually making the whole character).
Absolutely. My idea was to make a chain between his hand and a hand hanging from the cage. But i’m a bit worried about the animation/rigging. So i think its gonna be a nice to have, if i have time at the end. If not, i will just add the hand
Unfortunately I’ve had a few issues with a bug exploding my mesh, that i used a lot of time troubleshooting. But i found a solution and i’m back on track
Just finished up sculpting the head gear
Been refining the clothing and worked a bit on retopo. I’ve tried to put a bit of story in to the details, like he has spilled some of the poison from his bottles that has made some chemical burns on his clothing
almost done with the clothing. Need to finish up the shoes, the bottles, the arm acc, a little bit on the shoulders and the cage
Okay, i’ve finally finished the clothing. This is gonna be a tight one, so i better get started texturing.
pretty much finished up the textures for the clothing. The retopo is finished as well. Had to cut a few corners to make it in time, but it works, so i’m happy with the result.
Right now I’m working on the spring bones for character creator
Looks quite good! Looking forward to seeing the textures done on him as well!
Thanks a lot
That’s exactly what I’m working on right now 
Finished up the skin textures. Now it’s time for the toad and after that I’ll start to setup the final scene for renders
Epic Work!
thanks, appreciate it 
Toad is all done! Sculpted the main shapes, did some retopo and refined the shapes in zbrush afterwards. Made a few alphas of frog skin which i dragged on the model and finished up the empty spots by hand. Then i made a little rig for it, unwrapped it and finished up by texturing in SP.
Now, on to the final scene. if i have extra time i might go back and add extra stuff afterwards. But i want to make sure i finish first
