BUMP! Superbrawl - Heroes
Hello there!
It’s a pleasure to share some of the work I did on my last project at Ubisoft. (If you’re interested, you can play it here)
For this project, I switched from Autodesk 3ds Max to Blender, and what an incredible experience it was ! Throughout the game’s development, I aimed to complete as many workflow steps as possible within Blender. Thanks to the support of our lead/tech artist @god3ila , we nearly achieved that goal. However, we weren’t fully satisfied with the baking and texturing workflow in Blender, so we handled that part in Substance Painter instead.
To push my knowledge of this amazing software even further, I decided to use only Cycles and the compositor for all my final renders for the Art Blast on ArtStation. So I didn’t even used Photoshop.
So, what you’ll find here are renders of the characters I worked on : all sculpted, modeled, retopologized (but not textured 
), and rendered in Blender 4.
I hope you enjoy it !
Mecha Tezca
“Even though he “found” the mech suit in Anansi’s workshop, Tezca thinks this beauty fits him like a glove. With the suits many features, he’s ready for a prank rampage throughout Arcadia.”
Tezca
“Obsessed with power, Tezca abandoned the Highbornes to take control of the Belowers. Smart, cunning and ruthless, he became the city’s master of intel and quickly took over the underworld. He’s said to have joined the tournament in pursuit of a grand plan.”
Heavy Metal Tezca
“Tezca is about to rock the house ! He terrifies his enemies with heavy riffs and dark base lines. Watch out - his legendary melodic growls might burst some eardrums !”
Agent Kamo
“Sometimes Kāmo likes to pretend he’s a secret agent going on crazy missions. Maybe he really is, and his cover has too many layers to comprehend.”
Val
“Val grew up in Odin’s orphanage, trained to be a tough fighter looking out for the weak. She recently began a part-time job in the city’s police department, while still attending the academy. She’s always ready for a friendly fight – and eager to protect her teammates.”
Rap Val
“Get ready to raise the roof ! If Val’s slashes don’t send her foes to hospital, her sick beats and ruthless diss tracks will. She holds the record for the highest number of insults per minute !”
Baba
“Baba is an ancient witch who manages the food storage in the city. She doesn’t like the hustle and bustle of the tournament, but plans to use it to prove her powers. When she finally gets to try out her new twisted recipes, her opponents might not be in for a treat…”
Mei Hem
“With Mei you can’t rely on appearances. As a trusted and loyal mentor, no one would suspect he had a turbulent past. But even if he is wiser now, he is always ready to kick some butts with his magic stick. His enemies think they are out of reach. Huge mistake.”
Silver Mei Hem
“Looks like Mei has decided to change his fur for something more winterized. Unless it’s just his advanced age reflected in his silvery hair. After all, even immortal creatures can feel the weight of passing years.”
Strip
“This mysterious mummy never takes off his bandages, nor does he reveal his true identity. As a private detective, he’s been hired to investigate rising tensions among the locals. The tournament seems to play a central role, so he joined as an undercover agent.”
Pirate Strip
“When Strip goes undercover at a costume party, he’ll always dress the part! He’s been waiting for an opportunity to wear his fancy coat and mustache, anyway. Yo-ho-ho !”
Cthuly
“Little Cthuly was found abandoned and sleeping at the portal to the city. As a descendent of the powerful ancient gods, the academy made it their responsibility to raise it, so it can use its power without causing the end of the world. But the Belowers are already trying to win it over…”
Action Minitaur
“After weeks of arduous training in the enchanted forest, Minitaur has become a master of survival. Why bother with mazes when you can break through walls head-first ?”
This one has been done in collaboration with @god3ila . I only did the outfit.
Timetravel Mardi
“As she freely walks between the realms of the living and the dead, the concept of time has always been relative for Mademoiselle Mardi. She’s recently enhanced her staff and can now literally travel through time.”
That’s it ! I’ll be posting more in the coming months as new characters become available in the game. Stay tuned !
