The majority of the antagonist in Mask of the Betrayer seemed to be the Red Wizard from the nation of Thay. As such many heads were needed. The following are four of those heads.
The first two females are low poly versions of these Red Wizard Female Heads, accompanied on the left by their respective tint mapped variants.
Several male headed variants were also created to compliment the females as well. The heads shown are a middle aged male flowed by the obvious older head, accompanied by their tint maps as well.
Don't mind the blue head, was used to show my art lead the variants of the tint maps ;)
As the player ventures thru the game of Mask of the Betrayer, a large number of NPC's would be needed in order populate the environment.
For following heads, I created a high poly asset, painted them in Zbrush and the converted into their low poly forms in 3d Studio Max. With certain heads such as the older more distressed characters, I would use Mudbox to add the finer details. Finessing in the game engine would then occur to make sure the assets were as optimal in the game environment as they could be.
Safiya in one of your main party members and a possible love interest for the player and also a Red Wizard, signified by the tattoo upon her head.
The Dove is a celestial character who is also a member of your party. Another possible love interest.
The Seer is a blind Drow female. I thought it was an awesome idea to have her eyes covered.
Nefris is the mother of Safiya, also a Red Wizard.
The Founder is the leading member of the Red Wizards.
Araman is a leading enforcer of the Red Wizards.
