WIP - Goblin Scupt - Crits Appreciated

Urzaz

Started doodling a goblin head from a sphere and decided I liked him enough that I'd dynamesh him out a nice body. I'm going to see how much I can learn from him.

His body is super rough right now, trying to get shape and weight right.

As for goblin apparel-- I'm going to give him something, I'd like something that lets me learn some applicable character clothing techniques at the same time. Any thoughts?

I recommend drawing out the concept first before tumbling into sculpting. Know what you're doing before your do it so your 3D isn't wasted time.

In general I definitely agree with you. Since this guy started as a doodle he's continuing that way, at least for now. If I get to clothing I'll definitely sketch up some variations.

I think I have a pretty good idea of how I want him. Bony, wiry musculature with a disproportionate head. The head is something a concept definitely would have helped, though, especially since the body was dynameshed out. I kind of had to guess. Should still be adjustable?

Added some rough goblin hands.

Drop your subdivisions to a lower level, you're not helping yourself too much by dealing witha high res dynamesh sculpt. Need to fess out and nail the bigger forms first.

Also, use a different mat, a gray clay. There's weird lighting going on with this one, it doesn't help us or probably yourself. It looks cool, but it's not hlpeful for accurate shading.

What JadeEyePanda is saying here is true. Sketch out your own concept first or take a look at other goblins from various movies/games. Having an idea of what you are going to sculpt helps a lot. That way you are finding forms through sculpting as opposed to blindly going at them.
