Revisiting an old Quake III character i did

Here's a character I did around 13 or 14 years ago as an add on character to Quake III.  I thought it would be cool to redo him now to see how much video game graphics have improved over the years, and also how much I have hopefully too.

The original character

Here are some sketches I did for the new version, I think I've got enough ideas to start modeling.

3 weirdos from sketchbook to zbrush

Here are some guys from my sketchbook that I took into zbrush and sculpted and polypainted.

Oompa Loompa Doopidy Doo

It was nice outside, so I sat in my backyard and sketched some oompa loompas.  None of the sketches really grab me, but I'll use then as reference when i sculpt it in zbrush and pick out parts I like from the different sketches.  I didn't really want to base them much off the movies, the book mentioned they wore deer skin clothes and had crazy hair.

I also sketched out the rotten vermicious knid.  he's got a tail with a hand at the end to grab oompa loompas by the head and then toss them in his mouth.

More Willy Wonka monsters

here's a wip of the textures i'm doing for the hornswoggler.  he's rendered in vray using the fast sss2 material, and then some touchup work in photoshop.  I'm working on the Snozwanger sculpt which is really early on.  he's got an extra set of small legs that he only uses when he's fighting to brace himself or something.  i also started sketching oompa loompas for them to eat, but nothing worth showing.
