Daily sculpts from the dungeon.

Dolleater

Hey everyone!

Thought that I'd start a thread to post my "daily" sculpts at.
Critique and comments are most welcome, be honest! I won't cry for long, promise! :poly121:

Wow! never thought going through past sculpts would be this embarrassing... :poly136: Anyway, here goes, I started these in 2013, August.

First Daily:
Eh, well... not great, but I had to start somewhere! :poly142:



African Woman:
Somewhat pleased with her look, but a lot to work on.



Bad Guy:



Average Guy-Man:
Don't really know what I was trying to do here. :P



Female01:
Female practice I guess. ^^

Dolleater

Female02:
More female pratice!



Female03:



Rust:
Tried to sculpt Matthew McConaughey from True Detective and failed quite hard :P



Andy Whitfield:
This sculpt turned out kinda good, good some of the likeness down, maybe?



The Gentle Giant:
A humble giant, tried to give him a gentle look, might revisit this one

Dolleater

Male01:
Tried to create an asian male, but it turned out quite generic.



Male02:
I think this one turned out quite good, a little more character maybe?

Dolleater

Hopefully I will continue to post my sculpts here, and actually do them every day :P
As I said, critique and comments are most welcome, be blunt! Be honest!

Looking good. It feels like they are all sticking there head forward which make their necks look awkward.

Dolleater

Stevston89: thanks! haha you are right, why haven't I seen this!! It looks awful! :P

Dolleater

Rendered a head I did a few days ago in marmoset, with and without some post photoshop. took about 4-5 hours to complete.

Dolleater

Rendered another head back from march.

Dolleater

New headsculpt. Learning more every day.
Got to get better at lighting these renders though...

Don't be so hard on yourself, these are all pretty decent. Practice and persistence will push you to the next level. I can already see a huge improvement. I've been thinking about doing a project similar to this since my realistic head anatomy skills are lacking to say the least. Where do you go to find reference? Do you use reference planes in zbrush or are you strictly trying to do these exercises by eyballing it?

Dolleater

jhoythottle: Thank you for your kind words.

I'm mostly eyeballing my sculpts but I always have some sort of "plan" before I start, I try to gather as much references as I can on different faces, eyes, noses and other parts to make my own little "potato head" head :P

Dolleater

Long time no post!

Portfoliopiece waiting to be finished, so far very rough and kinda all over the place design-wise. Just throwing on ideas and see what sticks. 

Right now it is quite busy to look at, no places to rest your eyes so I'll try to make some decisions and stick with them.

Dolleater

Small update on this character, added a few things and continue to explore shapes and design. More things to make decisions about.

Any comments and critiques are much appreciated!

Dolleater

Worked on the face a bit more, small feature changes. Think I'll add in the bump on the nose back, I liked it. ^^

The hair really needs to get updated but forms and design needs to be done too!

CallumBaws

Awesome work! I'd be interested to know how you made your armour? Did you Block out some low poly in another program then drow into zbrush and dynamesh those nice golden trim bits? Either way can't wait to see more!

Dolleater

Hi CallumBaws and thank you for the kind words!  

For the armor I sculpted the rough shapes and then I think I zremeshed it as low as I could. After that I tweaked it to the shape I wanted and creased the edges with the zmodeler brush. 



For the Golden trim bits I simply copied the armor and inflated it -1 under deformation tab and then simply sculpted the triming, and polish with hPolish





Hope it helps

Dolleater

Here is a new sculpt I have fiddled with for a few days.

crappy render


More progress and polypaint

Turn-around with polypaint


All in zbrush for now, will create a body for him and som clothes in MD later.

Dolleater

Created the body, will be covered with clothes, but it was good practice to make a not so swole guy,

Might broaden his shoulders a tiny bit and his head looks kinda big so I'll see what I can do about that.

Any critiques would be most helpful. ^^
