Slimer on a Bad Day

Simon — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:28:50 +0000

Having discovered the geometryHD option i’ve busied myself with adding assorted warts to the tongue. The teeth have also been created and positioned.

I’ve deleted a couple of the higher subdivisions on the body, as I need to go back and sculpt some more details. The face needs particular attention, as does the large wart on the chin.

WIP: Monster’ish Progress

Simon — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:27:44 +0000

Today he’s been given a tongue, a few tweaks and a bit of stubble. Needs a bit more stubble here and there. However that’ll have to wait, on with the tongue!

WIP: Monster’ish…

Simon — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:11:49 +0000

I guess this qualifies as a monster. I sketched him out last night and started work on the model in zbrush today. I feel that I approached this model a little better than the last, making sure I get the lower subdivision levels correct before moving on to the detail.

I still seem to be missing something. I can get the broad brush strokes done quite well, however the fine detail brushwork still eludes me. The head is pretty much done, with only the tongue, teeth and eyes left to add.

Quick Sketch: Batman

From the looks of it, he hit someone too hard and sprained his wrist. This took about 30 minutes or so in Photoshop.

Feels good to have a sketch back on the front page, kinda balances out last weeks zbrush love in…

End of line

Tron reference in the title check, completed Hellboy model, um check? Sort of complete anyway. I’ve decided to leave my Hellboy model untextured and move on to newer projects. To be honest, I’ve always prefered it in an untextured state. Probably because I’ve not be able to nail down a look for it.

As I said yesterday, I’ve removed the bead alphas and replaced them with geometry.

Couldn’t help myself…

I’m going to model a proper chain for the cross and vial, then draw a line under this one.

Turntables of Recent Sculpts

Simon — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:51:49 +0000

I’m testing out zbrush’s turntable function and how good flickr’s video support is. Let’s just say that flickr’s picky about what it eats…

Trying to figure out which codec to use is a pain as flickr doesn’t tell you which ones it will accept. :(

3D Sketch: Akuma

Sketch of Akuma from Capcoms Street Fighter II series. This sketch was based on a model of Akuma that resides on my desk.

3D Sketch: Head Carving

Simon — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:12:05 +0000

This is a stylised carving of a human head. I think I’ve got a little African or American Indian influence in there somewhere. On to the next one! :)

3D Sketch: Venom

Simon — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:00:15 +0000

My second attempt at sculpting with zbrush. While I was working on this piece I finally managed to get my head around using multiple objects in a single scene / tool.

Like the previous sculpt, I started with spheres and chopped away at it. This probably wasn’t the best way of working, especially with regard to the tongue which features some crappy topology.

It’s also quite apparent that I need to brush up on my anatomy as well.
