Description
This is my final entry for this year's Comicon Challenge over at The Game Artisans forum. The brief was to create a comic character and alter their age. I chose my namesake
The original character is a Top Cow heroine.
Modeled in Zbrush and XSI.
Textured in Photoshop, Zbrush and Bodypaint
Rendered in Marmoset Engine
Polycount: 11870 tris
I hope you like her.

depends on the pipeline. For this one it was all done in one go. Sometimes at work we split the character into torso and legs and they're baked separately. Straps are normally modeled into the mesh, to avoid collision problems.

I don't know how you got such a flawless bake. Generating normal maps is so much more complicated than I could have ever imagined. I just pulled an all nighter trying to get mine to look decent.
I guess the low-poly mesh matters more than I previously thought.
How do you manage to get such a clean bake, then?

I find that sometimes putting more polys into the low res works better and you can bring the polycount down once you have the maps. Also the angles matter a lot - don't do staight angles, try to keep things slanted [in places like collars especially and strap attachments]... yeah sometimes you just need to clean it up afterwards anyway - it's never perfect

That makes sense, I hadn't really thought of that. I did some reading up on raycasting and the normals of the lowpoly are sort of a big deal. Adding extra edgeloops in key areas (that can be removed later) is a smart idea. Thank you for your help!

If youΒ΄re aiming for "The Darkness" comic character, this is magnificent! I really liked her character back then.
Nice job!

This is so awesome. I love what you did with it. Your characterization just has so much..well.. character. I particularly like the textures on her midsection the 'leathers' look great!
It's work like this that makes me want to try 3D modelling! So rad

Love it! Especially the beautiful texture work on her face, it gives her so much warmth and life.

This is awesome! But which Magdalena is it? Is it Patience?

I think itΒ΄s from the "Darkness" comic series.

Yah, I know that. But the Magdalena isn't just one woman, its the line of women who are descendant from Christ. And in the shorts with the Magdalena in the Darkness, Witchblade, and Tomb Raider comics there have been about 3 different Magdalenas. I was just wondering if the artist here was thinking of the first Magdalena introduced in the Darkness issue (who then died in her own Magdalena off shoot 3 issue comic) or if its the latest and still living Magdalena, Patience.

Ha ha nice! Not sure about the age play though?
She looks just like a character in Thunderbirds with a Child's Play touch.
