I started working on some of the Fortnite characters since my kids love them so much. I want the characters but because they are game designed, there are parts of the models that aren't suited for what I have in mind. (You can use the exact models, but they will only have the outfit they come with and you can't interchange them) You basically don't have access to a base figure with no clothes so you can't easily create new clothes and gear for them. So I started blocking out a base figure. 



I'm blocking out the base figure before taking it into 3DCoat to Sculpt. But I think I was able to capture the size and scale by assembling the pieces. At this stage, My only concern is to capture the scale and proportion of the character from the game. The arms for example are actually pieced together from Several different Fortnite characters and then mirror copied to give me two bare arms. Since none of the male characters had a bare body to draw from, I used some sculpting basic block shapes to fill in the blanks. Each of the pieces are going to be combined in 3DCoat to give me the base body shape.that will be sculpted into it's final shape. 

I'm actually using the head from the game so that it will look the way the characters do, after I finish sculpting the body. The goal is to come out with a single water-tight mesh so that I can design custom clothing and gear for it, while easily interchanging heads as needed.



I've got to do it again for the thinner build and the tank build, but I wanted to have consistency across my models so they'll all have the proper look and feel of the Fortnite characters. I even plan on adding some child characters.
