Polaroid's toy corner

polaroid29

Hey guys, just opening up a thread here to help me stay on track and practice! I've worked with various toy companies doing different things, but I want to sharpen up my digital sculpting skills as best I can to hopefully work full time in collectibles, or games. I know my anatomy skills are lacking among other things, so hopefully I can get some help and progress! Critiques and comments are always welcome.

This is a lunch crunch I did the other day, based on a friend's concept:



and a colored version:

Finishing up another guy here, based on a friend's concept

Tough crowd!

Here's a new thing I'm working on, based on a friend's comic character. Some anatomy critique would be great, as it feels like a few things are pretty off.

Here's a color version of that last guy, Zen! Any C&C would be awesome.

Wow. Amazing. Surprise no one hasn't commented much on this.

Anatomy needs some work, especially the legs of the second one, the renders are great, but you dont texture at all ?


Edit: I meant the guy from your friends concept

@UltraLrod thanks man I don't know why nobody comments on them. I used to love coming on Polycount because people gave such harsh, but amazing critiques, but I don't seem to get them anymore.

@Shrike thanks for the comment! About the leg anatomy problem, which character do you mean? And you're right, I just do a pretty basic base layer of polypaint, not much great texture work =/ it's something I have to work on more.

Here's a little critter I've been working on; taken from some old drawings I used to do as a kid. Just a quick 90 minute lunch crunch at the moment, but I'll toss him into a render soon too. Hope you guys like it.

And a final render of it as a toy!

good work! For the character zen. His leg anatomy needs some more work. It looks really lumpy right now in my opinion.a
Love the renders tho!

@lciban thanks for the comment

Thanks for the crit on Zen, leg anatomy is definitely one of my weaker spots. I'll have to take a second look and fix him up
