CHARACTER BACKSTORY
Giltza is an egg-born Alien. them life is quite happy thanks to two kind robots that adopted them. This egg is clearly coming from another unknown planet, different than Ataraxia.
Ataraxia is a peaceful planet full of diversity. The planet itself and its creatures are a product from the union of Technology and Nature. This two live in harmony and sisterhood, one can barely live without the other. However, something challenging is about to happen in Ataraxia and this will affect the life of Giltza.
The battery of the planet it’s fading. If it fades completely Giltza’s benefactors will be on danger. The small creature will start a journey to find the generator of Ataraxia. This will help them parents and the other creatures of this planet.
This exploration will challenge Giltza’s intelligence and knowledge. Them will also face loneliness and surprising findings on the way.
The alien gets to reactivate the generator once they find it. This will also bring Demoth back to life. Their battery was also malfunctioning cause the shutdown. Giltza will need to combat them to get to understand why Demoth is there and what is their mission on the planet.
Some of the main inspiration for the creation of Giltza are Lilo and Stitch, Steven Universe, and 3below. The project idea is to create a kind and innocent alien as is described in the Backstory.
Next will be shown how the concept was created through the sketching process.
Once the shape was defined the modelling could start in Maya 2019. It was quite useful the creation of separated pieces such as the hands, feet and head. Also was used the duplicate special tool for creating symmetry in the model.
After the 3D Model was ready and before polypainting it in Z-brush was necessary to prove that the colors to be used would look pleasant on the model. For that purposed was created the color palette test in Photoshop.
This is the final result for the texture map created in Z-brush.
