Sketchbook: Rukasu

Rukasu

Hey guys, I've been some time on Polycount already without being active. I decided with the Quixel beta to jump in and start making my own now.
For the start, maybe an introdution is nice: My Name is Lucas Waschk, 21 years old and Live in germany. I am currently Studying Gameart & Animation and kinda fell in love with zBrush. I've been working with it since a few month so far.

I will upload some more works later on, here's one I am currently working on. ~ 2hrs in this so far. Kinda try to keep up one sculpt a day

Some Kind of Dragon? I don't know where this will go

Rukasu

Some more works:

This one was to practise hardsurface a bit.


Also this.



A Bust I made for the sake of learning how to do faces.

Rukasu

I tried some Enviroment and did the textureing with Quixel Suite

Rukasu

Here are some Illustrations I made before.

Rukasu

What I am currently working on. Got inspired after playing Arachne in Smite.

For the "Bodysuite" I copied the body and made it shrink underneath, then started to build up shapes from that.

Rukasu

After some work, a closeup on the body 'cause I am kinda proud of it xD

Rukasu

We had a zBrush lesson today, this is what I was doing:

Rukasu

Kinda Took a break from Arachne atm. This was the last thing I did for that Model.

Currently practising Modeling from a Reference. This is a Friend of mine who I am still working on.

Also some Head I did before.

A shoulder for a Dota 2 Skin (Abbadon) which I had to model for a School project.

You should ! It's the best work you posted in this thread in my opinion.

You should try to spend more time on a sculpt and finish it.

Rukasu

Hey Suba, thanks for your Feedback!
I will work this out in the next days I guess. Thanks for giving me some Motivation

Suba

I'm glad then !

You are welcome bud'

Keppo

Hi Lucas! Nice stuff, though spiders have 8 legs. Then again, i guess you can count hands as the missing legs

Rukasu

Haha, thanks Keppo. Didn't knew you where also on Polycount ^^


Here's an Update on the Spiderlady btw. I think I'll make a humanoid form at first.

Rukasu

Small update

Bu11dog76

I think this is coming along nicely. I would love to see how this looks with color on eventually!

Rukasu

Thanks, Bu11dog!
I will add Color + Texture in the End.

Rukasu

I am working now on the Limbs this is a update of what I am doing now.
Also added something to the dress:

Rukasu

Another Update, now with hands and slight adjustments.
Hulk MatCap for better view on the details.

Rukasu

I did this today during the lesson. Could only finish half of it in 2 hrs. Maybe picking this up again when I am finished with that lady

Rukasu

Kinda decided to wrap it up xD

Rukasu

've been working quiet alot on that lady today again. Had so much trouble with the face + Helmet but I am now quiet satisfied. Gonna work more on the arms&other stuff.

Rukasu

Found myself having trouble with female faces some times, so I decided that I'll do some today only. This is what I got, dunno how long that took me.

1st Attempt

2nd Attempt

Rukasu

I just noticed, the nose of the 2nd one looks a bit weird in sideview xD

Rukasu

Working on this right now.

Sexy as f*ck !
Also great idea to put some colors on some spheres. Clever.

Rukasu

Just finished the Lowpoly, here's the Wireframe. All made by hand. Gotta replace that hair with planes, I guess.

Rukasu

Hehe, Thanks alot Suba!

Rukasu

Here are some Renders done in Marmorset 2.
I am kinda exausted now, I've been working on it all day - Too lazy for the eyes today xD

Rukasu

And here's the beautyshot with eyes

axxic3

Sometimes, Quixel + TB2 is just awesome. Great progress man, sounds like your working on the hair, which was going to be my critique. Character reminds me of the playboy game for xbox.

Rukasu

Thanks for the feedback, Axxic :
Haha, there was one? TB2 and Quixel are indeed an awesome combo, I really like working with those. I will try my best for Planes Hair, I am not so good at that atm.

Suba

Eyes kind a look creepy now ^^ You should move up the iris and that should fix the problem.

axxic3

Never done hair myself, sorry no tips there.

Rukasu

I Knew there was something wrong with the eyes, thanks Suba.

Rukasu

True, looks alot better this way, lol.



Also practised Retopopology a bit more. Way less polygons than the one before + better Edgeflow.

Rukasu

I've been lazing around last week, so no new stuff in that time.
Currently I am trying to sculpt Harley Quinn from Batman, this is the reference that I use: (The Artist's Signature is there if you want to know who that is. THIS IS NOT MY WORK)


And this is what I('ve got so far:

Rukasu

Almost finished with the Highpoly

Rukasu

First parts of the lowpoly - Tried to keep the polycount really low.

Rukasu

Update

Rukasu

I hate Hairplanes - Have to fix the provisional Textures + Some uv's 'cause they're flipped. Don't have that much time to model atm. writing my Therory-Assignment about Character Concepts in 2D&3D.

Rukasu

Had some spare time to do some anatomy stuff

Rukasu

So, it's been a while since I updated my sketchbook. That doesn't mean that I didn't do anything new. I just was too lazy to upload my stuff for some time, hehe.

Here's what's new.

Currently doing afew models for my Graduation exam

Nightmare from Soul Calibur: (Currently working on the sculpt)



Midna from Legend of Zelda: (Still on the retopo)


Some Sci-fy Hardsurface Armor I haven't touched again:


More Sci-fy, this time a concept for my research paper I had month ago:


Oh and a Djin from Golden Sun (As I was playing it again, hehe)


I guess that's it for now.

There's some more work for some Indie Studios I don't know if I am allowed to share right now

Rukasu

Small update, had alot trouble with the shoulder. Made 3-4 Designs and ditched them all. Now I came up with something that felt more right.

Rukasu

I've made some progress on the Midna model. I felt like doing Lowpoly.

Rukasu

Almost finished with the lowpoly. Just have to add some Rings to cover the edges of the hands and the neck. There's also a spot behind the ear where I still have to add a little bit of hair.

Learned alot about UV unwrap + efficient usage of UVs.

Rukasu

I've worked more on the Midna Model, she even has a Rig now.


Meanwhile, I paused the nightmare sculpt for a Contest from my school.
It's a sculpting contest and I have to sculpt a lifeform that doesn't live on earth.

My progress so far:

Rukasu

That's how it looks now. Still working on it.

Rukasu

I ditched the last design and started over again.

Rukasu

Rukasu

I've added some simple zBrush shader to get a better idea of the final outcome.
