I decided to enter the DESIGN A CHARACTER CONTEST - Color Challenge by @w0olf. It‘s already over and I started a bit late today, but here‘s my entry anyway. :)
The colors reminded me of a mermaid, and I wanted to create something with water and pearls. So I started with a fast sketch and immediately started to sculpt in ZBrush, given the time.
I modeled the character in ZBrush, started off with ZSpheres and sculpted from there on the mesh, then exported all Subtools and textured it in Blender with the Texture Paint-Mode. The upper body is symmetrical, because I wanted to skip the rigging and the fin is modeled in a way, that I can animate it later on easily.
I tested out different combinations, but I ended up with the blue skin-tone and pink/purple fin- I liked the variation of the shining eyes, but in the end it reminded me too much of Supernova from Rick&Morty, so I chose pearls for the eye-texture. It‘s really hard to stick to 4 colors plus b/w, so I added some lighting in the given colors et voilà :D
I want to use Substance Painter the next time to practice more on texturing and animate the mermaid soon! Hope you like it and I‘ll try my best the next time to be on time:) It was great fun and a good practice though:D I never finished a character completely in a day, so I am quite happy with the result. :)
