God of Alcohol, this project was for the Dominance War V contest. It was my first dominance war where I felt like I almost had a glimmer of hope of maybe placing. Also it happened to be the last Dominance War ever.
So the idea is to create a current day game character model which is a god that puts an end to the Dominance War. I chose the God of Alcohol as my concept, a peaceful way to end this conflict through partying and good times.
So here is a bunch of concepts that I was working with. A chubby dude based on my friend, a huge bruiser, and a alchemist.
Alchemy guy, looks cool and stuff but doesn’t really fit the concept of the God of Alcohol for me.
I feel like this guy is more likely to punch me in the face than to hang out with me.
There we go this guy looks like someone to hang out with!

A quick turn around
Here is a timelapse getting him from here to retopo
I actually ended up getting into a serious issue with retopo because the tools I was using weren’t nearly as advanced as the ones current day, (no zremesher) turns out there was a problem with vert order at one point and kinda blew up my mesh which stopped progress for about a day trying to figure out what happened.
Adding details and clothing
A second detail pass, adding more accessories including an alembic still. Smooth sailing once I hit this part.

So I didn’t win but I learned a whole lot and there were a ton of techniques that I developed while working on it.
