Description

Here's a gift art/render for my longtime DA/Facebook bud,   Over the years, he has created so many cool original characters and concepts...some of my personal favorites being the ever-popular Jet Dancer , Jet's main antagonist Fallen Wing  , Faith Roberts from his WCL (Weapons Combat League) concept , his longtime flagship character Nia Black and her twin sister Shauntia , Christiana , and....this gal here and one of his newest OC's Zathira who's the protagonist in an ol' school pixel-based shooter that he's currently developing!


I've really taken a shine to her, and decided to try my hand at rendering her.  Of course, it's hard to nail every detail on the head when it comes to using 3d textures and materials, and I'm nowhere near to being able to create and edit stuff to make whatever looks I want.  However, I think that this was a pretty valiant effort!  I can't wait to see more concept art and and finished product of Zathira and her game!


Happy birthday Dualmask !!!

Wow, what an amazing gift! She looks incredible, it's an amazing approximation of her costume and the sprite version's hairstyle! I love it! Thanks a ton!

Just the motivation I needed to stop slacking off and get back to work!

You're welcome, man!  I've been really digging this character and I can't wait to see much more of her!  More than likely, I'll have to render her again!


Question:  is there a player 2 palette swap character in the works for her game?

You really did a great job, I'm impressed!

I pondered making this character   her rival and/or the player 2 option, but I haven't built the sprite version yet. I'm still on the fence as to whether I want to complicate things that much while the game project is still in its early stages.

looks great i have a question about your drawings vs 3d modelings is it impossible to make the 3d models as buff as your drawings or is it just when you draw it has to be mega muscles?

Hmm...interesting question.  It does seem like my drawing are definitely more on the beefy side vs. my 3D renders.  However, I have consciously decided to tone down the muscle on some of my characters as of late.  But, by no means does that mean that I'm done with more muscular images, such as (warning NSFW)

And as for my characters that I've tended to draw on the muscular side of things, some of them are still beefy...I guess it's as you said in another post, it's hard to beat the near-perfection of 3D modeling!  Defender Pt. 1 by Mr-Marcus-81 Deuce's Wild '17 Pt. 1 by Mr-Marcus-81

it makes me sad when an illustrator quits drawing to use 3dcg i can see the cost benfit analysys the 3d picture ends up looking polished for less work and you can move a camera and have a new image so efficency is value

please dont give up drawing

I don't think I've completely given up drawing...definitely on a hiatus though.  It's much faster and easier to create and articulate more of my ideas with Daz versing drawing/digitally coloring them out.
