Female Scout

I took some time to work on my portfolio recently, and worked on her a bit more and took new renders!  Sculpted and polypainted in Zbrush4R6.

   

For those not familiar with the stuff I did years ago, here’s a little explanation.  Back from like, 2009 to 2012, I made a bunch of playable TF2 mods with female characters.  I did the Medic, Heavy, Spy, and Engineer.  This was before cosmetics were a thing, and over the years it became increasingly impractical to support my mods as the number of hats grew and grew.

ANYWAYS, the early ones were also basically my first attempts at character modeling ever, and while I still generally like the concepts, I consider the models to be pretty outdated and I’d love to update them.  Unfortunately, I just don’t have the time to convert them all into fully-usable models, so for now I just plan on sculpting them all out (and re-sculpting the old ones!) in my spare time. 

I’m not a huge fan of the evolution of TF2′s cosmetics and I’m not too jazzercized about doing hats these days, but I love the art style of the game and modeling stuff for it is still a lot of fun and makes me happy, so I’m really looking forward to finishing these!  

Once they’re finished, I might share the Zbrush files online for people who want to retopologize/textures/skin them for the game or SFM.
