• Great job on finishing this project for the challenge! There is some strong development of ideas with a wide range of references. your character concepts have interesting silhouettes and the narrative elements are shown in the design. Some feedback: ∘ use some edge flow reduction flows around the elbows, sternum etc. and keep a consistent poly density throughout ∘ a model following a games industry workflow will need to demonstrate the ability to use zbrush to add details and bake them down to the low poly, as well as texture in substance painter utilising colour, metal and roughness channels. The end result using the genshin impact shader looks good, but just for future portfolio reference ∘ the poses look great! overall you got some great results with this project, you managed to concept and develop a really interesting character and presented it well.

• Hi Kubaaak, A very nicely defined model, with great end renders. You have a lot of artistic skills, the renders are brilliance, but need to climb the hill rather than avoid it. Get stuck into zbrush. You will need it if you want to do character art. Adam
• First of all, I want to thank you for the work you've done; you've done well with the task. I found it very interesting to evaluate your character. Thank you for your effort and diligence. I want to wish you good luck in the challenge and creative success! Denis Beletskii. 3D Concept Character Artist. Wargaming. Also, I would like to add some useful materials on working with characters and more. I hope they will be helpful to you when working on new excellent characters.
