Pokemon Challenge 2022 - Celesteela - WIP

Contests and Challenges

Ok, after going through the Pokedex, I decided to choose something I could do using Edge modelling, as I don't know retopology yet, and won't be able to texture a sculpted thing.

So... Here's my choice, Celesteela, #797


Let's go!

  • Bennie Griffin(bc_griffin) replied

    Wow, so much detail! Good luck with the challenge.

  • adrian replied

    I think this is a good choice if you are avoiding retopology.

    Mesh modeling would work for this character.

    Good luck!

  • Thibault Caradec(otowa) replied

    By the power of uber-basic block-out!


  • Mel C(melinmotion) replied

    Never heard of this pokemon before but omg Celesteela looks so damn cool. Great choice! Looking forward to see the result.

    I haven't play any of the recent, mainline, games in while until Pokémon legends came out but HOLY COW! That's a LOT of details!

    It's gonna be interesting to see the final result!

    Good luck!

  • Sébastien Lenaerts(slenaerts) replied

  • Keith (beefkeef) replied


    This is going to be great, I've got that feeling! 👍

    Looking forward to your updates otowa 

  • Thibault Caradec(otowa) replied

    Started to detail the body...


  • adrian replied

    This is coming along nicely otowa .

  • Thibault Caradec(otowa) replied

    Arms are mostly done now.

  • Thibault Caradec(otowa) replied

    Because of a lot of personal problems,  wasn't very dedicated to this challenge...

    Not sure I will complete it in time...


  • adrian replied

    Still another week to go, you got so far, and are doing so well,

    Keep it going until the end!

  • Jeewon (jeewon) replied

    You really nailed the mystical atmosphere about this pokemon!

    Don't lose confidence, you can do it!

  • Sébastien Lenaerts(slenaerts) replied

    Wow, again a great piece of work.  You're up to a masterpiece again!

  • Thibault Caradec(otowa) replied

    Drawing textures using Affinity Designer for the first time. I won't be able to reproduce it exactly but it will do the trick...


    Also added lines on the first "cape"... Starting to work on the lighting. Making final scene tomorrow.

    I added light circles and particles effects based on a tutorial by TutsBtKai (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWcGDgD1KtY)

    A little bit of post processing and we're done!
