Sketchbook: Jahn Hummel

Twister3

Hi Polycount! My Name is Jahn Hummel I graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in Game Design. Currently I'm working as a 3D artist but not (yet) in a game studio.
I'm going to be posting mostly 3D work and some handmade sketches.

Please crit, that's what we're all here for, isn't it?







And finally a character I'm working on for the Art Jam (comic book theme):

Hi Jahn,
great, that you started a sketchbook, I am sure it will be a good step to improve.

I like the stuff you posted, but i have some suggestions.

the anatomy stuff could be a bit more polished, there are a lot of rough brush-strokes. maybe it would be better for your understanding of anatomy if you would simplify the forms a bit more. the noise is making it not easier to remember, when you want to apply it to you own designs.

the monkey is a cool idea, but the fur is a bit dark. maybe you could make it a bit more differentiated. and then you could make the eyes brighter to put the focal point there.

but good work there, much potential

keep it up!

Thanks for the crit! Yeah I guess some of those brush strokes look pretty coarse. As for the Monkey, I'm kind of sick of him..so I'm not fixing him for now. I'm currently working on a new project that I will post some pictures of as soon as I have something presentable.

I finally found some time around the weekend to create this:

Thanks! I consider rendering as one of my weaker skills so your comment means a lot!

Testing out the ZBrush Render settings on my WIP Alien thingie:

Really like the Alien Thingie.
Look forward to some texture work.

Love your Alien Thingie!^^

Your Alien looks so cool! I like his long limbs. I can almost imagine him walking really funny:)
Will you put some additional armor around his neck, too?

Thank you all!

@Anhny: I haven't decided yet but a helmet would be pretty nice...
