Sketchbook: Paco Casares

PacoCasares

Hello Everyone!
I wanted to try out to have a Thread where I am happy to upload anything and everything I am doing at the moment. Its also my first thread with Polycount, I have been following the site lately as I am recently going to finish my Game Graphics Design course at RMIT (Melbourne) and I should start looking for other sources of self teaching and self motivating on making game art.

Currently I am working with a Team of RMIT on this game, its a point and click adventure game that we are developing for the ipad. I will upload small resolution images as previews, and some other works.

These are some of the backgrounds I have been working lately for our uni game project: God of Blunder. The work process that I am currently using, to get perspective right, I use a quick 3d sketch, then I make an outline on top, and after that I put on some painterly detail.

And this is a result after doing the outline and the digital painting detail on top.

nice style .. the chairs in the third image look a little odd, one is up high and the other low.

They are different sizes, one chair is supposed to be for Thor, and the other Chair for Magni. All characters from a fantasy Viking setting in their heaven. I do not do the story or scrip just the art

I wanted to improve the shadows and the lighting on this fella here. West side of the dining room.

Hey! I totally forgot about sketch book. Lets put up some stuff I have been doing in a thread contest!

I was testing some new brushes, learning up some techniques and tricks and bummer... I got distracted. I did a Lion Care Bear super hero of some sort.
The more you use zbrush, the more it rewards you. I checked this page. It has a great collection of brushes and mat caps, and its totally worth having a play with.

Certainly play with the Lucky Brush. There is another whole collection of brushes worth checking out in that ZIP file. Such a good treat.

Hello fellas! I have been exploring with Zbrush a bit further doing exercises and experimenting. I got to say, that sculpting in Zbrush is becoming my biggest ambition and I do not want to stop until I can be confident to say that I am a professional sculptor and modeller with Zbrush.

Here I am, for fun doing some furry modelling. I am posting version 1, 2 and the latest with how I started using zspheres.

What do you think? Sorry about the nudity. I know people have asked me why I bothered to model the genitals. In the next version I will cover the naked parts, work on the hands and legs. Polish and refine the muscles. Work on the face and add modelled hair elements.

After this I will look on more references of bulls and bovines to give the bull a less cartony style, and a more realistic style. I have only realised now that the bull lacks character, so I have further looked at more concept art from GoW to get some ideas.

Art goes to their respective owners.

About the pose, situation and setting, I am still not sure what I am going for. But ideas to pop in would be lovely. The end result would be nice to have a rendered Minotaur standing on a floating piece of labyrinth floor stretch about to attack someone.

I want the render to be both in Zbrush, and then a low poly version in Marmoset for portfolio. But that is only if I get to finish it, and I do not get bored with it

I have decided to come back to this, I would like to show my WIP progress as I work on my graphics every day.
It is just a matter of making a habit right?
