Really fun sculpt I worked on this weekend. I love prehistoric giant elephant like creatures. Really happy with where this one is heading, the proportions are really hitting quite well, and my initial details are reading well. I think I like working on too many things, I should focus on finishing one!! More to come.
Did this one last weekend, never posted it up. Just a random quick sketch, practicing some hard surface. Not a very strong design or concept, but was fun to mess around with.
Haven't posted up in a bit, started some sculpts here and there, nothing that is blog worthy (even though I should put up more to track my progress). Here's some terrain doodle to break the silence.
I was messing about in World Machine and some zbrush for quick textures, and then PS for compositing, which I am still not very good at. Need to take more time in my texture phase...and the could use a lot more visual interest, and depth.
Here's a wip of a sculpt I started last week, and then worked on some more last night where I started some polypaint.
Was excited to see a bunch of new subscribers after my last rhino timelapse, so I turned that energy into more sculpting!!
Started this guy after work last week, and then worked on him a bit more last night. Two separate sculpting sessions, so excuse the weird cut halfway through. C&C always welcome. Still needs some more work, but I'm happy where he is headed.
Worked on the rhino dude some more tonight....polypaint and did some photoshops. Pretty happy with where he ended up. Going to post up a full timelapse vid later as well...if zbrush doesnt crash in the process right now.....
he ripped a mean one, and doesn't like the stench....
I'm going to start posting up some more videos of me sculpting pieces. Here is one I started at lunch the other day and didnt get very far, and then worked on some last night.
Video doesn't start at the beginning because for some reason zbrush decided not to save my undo history.
But here is me making slow decisions about where I wanted to take this guy.
Worked on the bandit a bit more today. Getting a better feel for the curve insert brushes and how to use them effectively, though there is plenty of frustration when I'm trying to place a curve on a mesh and it just draw it straight through it instead of snapping correctly and I am unsure of the best way to fix it.
Saw 'Django Unchained' this week, which was fantastic, and was super inspired to create my own western bandit character. I started with a pretty good idea of what I wanted overall, but also wanted to keep myself open to ideas as I went along. I wanted him to be shirtless, dark denim jeans with some native american influences, jewlery, tattoos, possibly war paint. That all might be a bit overkill but I want to try different things and see what works. Also definitely wearing a bandana and dark glasses. Here is the block in and base sculpt so far. Everything created in zbrush so far. I still need a better handle on the curve brushes, cause the necklace is super funky and definitely needs another go. The hands were also were just placed temp with the insert mesh brush. I'll need to re-dynamesh them with the torso soon. Still some things to block in like the pistol, his glasses, and haven't decided if I will give him a cowboy hat or long flowing hair. The accessories will make this piece sing, and will be good practice since I generally dislike working with a lot of subtools. More to come!
Messed about with some polypaint on my dragon sculpt today. Didn't spend too long, definitely shows as its pretty messy, but just wanted to have some fun.
"...They dont need those....." Watched The Hobbit this past week, twice. Loved it just as much as i remember loving the book when i read it years ago. Felt super inspired afterwards with how amazing the creature models, the trolls, goblins, orcs were all fantastic. Had to have a go at making a goblin of my own. Here is a sculpt and polypaint I worked on past couple days.
