Judge feedback

• Contestant: Dian Jin / @Dian Jin Assessor: Tristan McGuire / @Draconic_Cowboy Tier: Search For A Star Congrats on creating something for the competition! It is clear that this entry is unfinished, so feedback can only be quite limited. But I am so glad to see you did submit an entry. Things that went well: ✧ Super good concept art! ✧ Effective use of curves to create hair. ✧ Great method of creating the horns. ✧ Good use of Zmodeller for the armour. ✧ Well done on using a rig and manually adjusting the weights. Things to consider next time: ✧ When creating topology for characters, make sure to manually retopologise so that you can get edgellops in the right places for animation and you also have full control over your tri count. ✧ When UV unwrapping, try to make the islands as straight and aligned to the grid as possible, as this allows you to pack them into the square more efficiently. Even an organic form can be cut in such a way that many of the parts can be straightened. ✧ Next time, allocate some time at the start of the project to plan out a schedule. This will help you not run out of time. I hope this feedback proves useful and will help you with future projects and building your portfolio. You can find me on the social medias in the link below. Feel free to reach out in the future. All the best! https://draconic-cowboy.carrd.co/ - Tristan, Character Artist at Airship Interactive.
