Decided to start my own sketchbook too!

** I WOULD LOVE TO GET CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIZISM AND FEEDBACK ON MY ARTWORK! **

walreu

Just to start off, here's couple of my wip projects:





Here's the concept for the Dungeon Corridor:

I did a rock sculpt today (my first!). This is part of my new ideas for the Dungeon Corridor environment.
Mudbox 2012, Blender (retopo/baking), Photoshop,Marmoset Toolbag
(spec map isn't going to be 1024, it's going to be 512..)

Sculpted my first sculpt in ZBrush today.. (for the dungeon corridor environment)

So here's the lowpoly version.. still some tweaking to do ,but i like it!
This one is with the proper diffuse texture.

The reddish tint render is just with Ambient Occlusion map as diffuse texture (just testing..)..

walreu

I sculpted a floor tile for the same environment..
Also tried polypainting for the first time.

..and the lowpoly:

The bell is really cool I like it. I'm making some armour and trying to go for a similar look but having a hard time finding reference, is there anything I can search in particular to find more images like this? Or anything that inspired you? I'd really appreciate it!

MisterSande

bell looks awesome, how did you make it ?

Thanks!
I used the skull pictures from CGTextures.com. I don't have any real reference/inspirational photos for this, i just go with the vision i have in my head. Not the best solution everytime but it works now :P

edit: i guess you could find something similar from Darksiders artwork.

Those veins on the skulls i did by doing the big ones just with standard brush and smaller details with alphas from Zbrush's site.

bell looks awesome, how did you make it ?

Thanks!
In a nutshell:

I imported basic shape of the bell to zbrush.
Smoothed everything with TrimDynamic.
I did alpha masks from the skull photos from CGTexrures and layed them out in the bell.
I started carve out more shapes, deepened the eye sockets and noses, raised eyebrow area etc..
I did the veins like i said above
More details with alphas
The texts i did with alpha mask too, i just took nice free font from web..

Every other piece in there is basicly just basic shape from modeling software and some trim dynamic and alpha masked brushing

walreu

Yeah so here's some progress..

walreu

Okay so here's where i'm at with the deathbell now.
Still i need to do the rope for the bell and i thought about making plant of ground for it too.. yeah, and an arrow! (dont ask)
More coming..

Here's Marilyn. I'm not really happy how it turned up, but oh well..
Some levels/blurring/color in PS.

It's not bad, I'd say just her face turned out a bit too wide, kind of like a flattened out fisheye perspective.

Thanks. I hope it's just because of the cropping and not having as much hair as in reference picture.
There was some foreshortening to be done too. Here's the ref:
