DYLAN FORTNITE

this is more or less my first real attempt at a human in 3D. it's based on this legendary and historic image of my friend dylan (picture on the right). it was a real struggle, i went with a lower poly aesthetic to make it easier for myself, but modelling an organic shape like that is a challenge for me. i texture painted onto the model itself for most of it but the face and hands are pulled from images of modern day dylan. also he had the hood up in the image so i could forgo having to model the side of his head or his hair (although modelling the hood wasn't much easier). in the end i think it turned out well, at the very least it resembles a human being.

the actual hard part was converting it into a gmod playermodel, the workflow for that is a real pain in the ass.





GMOD WORKSHOP

did i mention that i made this into a gmod playermodel? even though it took me like 8 hours of trial and error and restarting atleast once, it was almost kind of worth it. somehow it got like 240 subscribers which isn't a lot, but i don't have a lot of motion on the workshop so i consider it a win for being a model of some random kid in a fortnite costume. here's the workshop link
