Finally finished retopping and texturing this old model of mine (OC, responsible for all aspects). I kept the color palette pretty brownish and based his build a little off Dave Bautista to fit the context. The story behind this guy is that he was kidnapped from his home village and taken into slavery when he was young. He was forced to work in construction before being used as a gladiator, but while he was enslaved he educated himself, and decades later he earned his freedom from combat. However, when he finally returned home, he found his village burned to the ground only days before his arrival.
I learned a lot from this project about anatomy, skin, transparency maps, manual retopology, and rigging. Definitely had a lot of fun, but eager to move onto my next project!
