You can find all the details of the creation process here.Mike Hermes takes a break from Maya tutorials and moves over to 3D Coat. I saw Lisa Barber‘s concepts on Facebook and decided to use them for the entry. In this challenge, I wanted to learn new things and discover new ways of working and speeding the workflow plus test some techniques and see if they really work or not. We had to create three different props using other artists’ concepts. I enjoy challenges that’s why I participated in The Legend of King Arthur Challenge (Prop Art) by Artstation.

Right now, I’m a Senior Material Artist at CARL Productions. Art is the thing I love and enjoy the most and I like to inspire people and learn from them, too. You can find my first book “The Mindshift” on Gumraod, it’s free for everyone. I’m a 3D Artist and a writer working on self-improvement books. I’m Abderrezak Bouhedda, I currently live in Setif, Algeria. It’s a wonderful way to push yourself out of your comfort zone, learn how to incorporate more storytelling elements into your work, and it’s just plain fun! 3D Models by Abderrezak Bouhedda Introduction I highly recommend anyone who has a bit of free time this summer to enter the production phase of the Legend of King Arthur challenge and keep an eye out for the concept phases for the next challenges (there are usually several challenges each year). I know a lot of people have already recommended the Orb Brush pack for ZBrush, but I will do it once again – it really is a fantastic resource for getting some great definition for stylized props. I plan on sculpting each prop out in ZBrush to capture the majority of the details and use Substance Painter to hand-paint the colors and gradients while still be able to have a distinct material definition for each aspect of each prop. Combining realistically rendered materials with hand-painted textures and exaggerated planes is an interesting challenge. On the sculpting side that would mean highly defined planes/shapes and silhouette, and on the texturing – exaggerated painterly colors, fewer tertiary details, etc. I actually plan on making these in 3D myself soon! While I’d be interested in seeing a more realistic take on these, I personally would love to keep a highly stylized look for these assets and take advantage of PBR for lighting and rendering.

I learned a lot from the Feudal Japan challenge last Fall – it taught me a valuable lesson in time management and self-discipline, especially during a very busy time in my life. The ArtStation Challenges are great opportunities for students and industry artists alike to interact with the community, add a piece to the portfolio, and motivate yourself to complete a larger personal project in a short amount of time. I actually knew very little about the legend of King Arthur and the stories around it, so I wanted to use this as a personal challenge to not only incorporate storytelling elements from such impactful mythology but go about researching and collecting reference from something out of my comfort zone. My goal was to try out the concept and design side of the challenge. I had previously entered an ArtStation challenge in Fall 2018, the Feudal Japan one (you can see the submission here), so I decided to participate in The Legend of King Arthur Challenge. Shortly after shipping Days Gone, I had been looking for a personal project to take up. I had graduated from Champlain College majoring in Game Art and Animation in 2015 and moved from the east coast out to Bend, Oregon, to work at Bend Studio which recently shipped Days Gone. I’ve also been a freelance illustrator for well over a decade, working on everything from custom illustrations and tattoo designs to contributing to various Kickstarters and toy products. Hi everyone! My name is Lisa Barber, and I’m an environment artist at Sony Bend Studio.
