Framedworld Sketch Thread

Framedworld

Hey guys I have a couple of these on other sites, so I figured I'd start one here too. Usually after work I tend to still be wound up and can't really sleep so I try and sketch a bit, some tend to be an hour sketch from a sphere (which I then pop on my youtube channel) and some are just sketches that I'll keep touching up that have no end in site. This stuff will be mostly play and rough projects that I dabble in here and there. Most of this stuff will be posted at 2-4 AM as its just to help me sleep.

Anywho enough babble, I just I'll start with a sketch I did over two nights, a Popeye sketch. It was more of something with playful anatomy that I could have fun with.





we will see where this goes...

I think :


The rest of the model it's looking good.

Neox

but it is popeye

if anything i'd try to make that contrast even more extreme

Framedworld

yea, perhaps I didn't popeye it enough haha, anyway this was a late night sketch so I'm not crazy concerned with it, its anatomy was supposed to be playful. thanks all, we'll see where it goes

Framedworld

still playing around with making him more popeye-ish, but for now I took the model as is and retopoed it for realtime and baked out a few maps, popped it in mamrmoset.

lotet

wow, looks really nice, I think you could make his lower arms even bigger though =P

Steve Schulze

He's looking great. Once you get the asymmetry into his face he should be much more recognisable

MisterSande

Very interesting sculpt so far! reminds me a bit of the Dishonored art direction.

Some crits:
the hands and lower arms make no sense from an anatomical perspective even if you keep stylistic proportions in mind. The model would gain allot of believability if you would tone those down considerably.

the belly is too symmetrical and a bit too flat to allow for the "sagging" you have going on. It still surprises me how often six packs are drawn / sculpted in an assyemtric fashion. Try looking up some photos of older men and look at their assymetrical muscles ( this sounds so wrong ha ).

Framedworld

hey guys! thanks for the comments, yea I agree he still needs to feel more popeye-ish, making the arms even bigger might be the option to go for. As for the abs, I'm not sure if I want to do a full six pack like that, I'm being playful with the anatomy (as this is only a few hours of work outside the studio) but I agree he'll need something to push that region, I like the way it looks in sculpt better than it baked, so I think first I'll look into why that is.

Framedworld

tweaked the model and shader, added maps, and threw in the low poly clothing and decimated pants

lotet

NOW were talking! arms look much better. the back anatomy looks a bit freehanded atm, maybe get some refs and do some small tweaks on that.

Framedworld

It is free handed haha, these are just sketches to help me sleep, so I'm not going to to crazy on this. I do enough of that at work haha. But I'll look into it thanks

Cute! is the skin texture hand painted ? what was the base mesh ?

Framedworld

all the textures in the skin shader were hand painted, the mesh was retopoed after a dynamesh sculpt, the base was a sphere

Framedworld

tweaked proportions of the legs and redid the back of the popeye model I'm doing, first tests of the tattoo, and baked out everything. currently 35k tris

amirabd2130

looks bad ass

lotet

back looks way better now this is turning out awesome!

Framedworld

thanks!

Framedworld

playing around with more complex lighting setups in Marmoset Co​, their tools are pretty slick, did a base pass on the clothing, just a quick rough out in dDo. Too dark I think, still playing around.

xxroxx

WOW! The textured clothing really popped this to life! I think mostly boots need wear and grunge, but he's pants could use some too (on the knees and outer thighs, mainly!)

edit:

also, try playing with some scars! Will make him even more badass and not completely out of context for popeye!

Steve Schulze

Are you going to give him his missing/squinting eye? It's pretty fundamental to his character design.

Framedworld

I'm going to open one of his eyes with rigging, but that's something for later

lotet

Looks sweet, I think the textures look a bit to dirty and standard dDo-ish though, to much noise and detail, but you mentioned its a first pass

Framedworld

still tweaking and tweaking

Framedworld

EDIT:

Took model off of marmoset viewer until I understand it better.

Tectonic

I'd love to see his legs a bit smaller, in the cartoon they were stumpy with his torso super elongated, I feel like in your interpretation they distract from the fun proportions of your arms. its looking amazing! I love what you've done so far.

haha, I was actually just about to type the same thing, I agree completely. especially the upper part of the leg. if you make those thinner you will kind of echo the same shape o the arms, of course not as much though.

Framedworld

thanks for the feedback guys I'll take a look at it. Today I was playing around with the emily project inside of maroset, tweaked the hell out of the maps but pretty cool results

lotet

Those Eyes are freaking creepy xD

Framedworld

I like em

Framedworld

Opened the eye on popeye, created a paralax normal mapped refraction on the eye, added hair cards to the jaw (just a few) for scruff and lashes. Tweaked the corncob pipe to be lighter in color. Still chugging along

lotet

Looks really sweet! I think you could ad some more shine to the eye to really make it pop.

also Im finding the hat a bit dirty/noise, its hard to distinguish the emblem and the color from the dirt.

Framedworld

I'll take a look at it, I might be going radio silent for a bit, work has got me busy, need to focus on characters I'm paid for haha. but I'll see what I can do.

Framedworld

sneak peak of popeye getting yet another revision, more images coming soon, finally got some time for this again

Framedworld

sure man, when this is all said and done I'll post a breakdown of the textures I used inside of Marmoset

Framedworld

no problem

Framedworld

sorry for the radio silence, things have been busy at the studio. Needed something a bit different than Popeye (he's still going to get finished) so I figured I'd something on death like final moments or something of the like. Realtime in marmoset

Framedworld

Man its been a while..... I've been working on stuff, check the artstation 

Rendered in Marmoset, 2k textures for the body and face. I wanted to finish up the realtime WIP model posted a while back. Used Substance Painter for the texturing.

Framedworld

Tooling around with an idea I had for my stylized vampire: give him a bloody good drink! (get it?). Rendered in marmoset, textured in painter. 30k tris, two 2k texture sets.

Created a toy to test out my printer, figured I put it out there for people to have:

Enjoy!

Continuing the blockin of #batman Commissioner Gordon Sketch. Just getting an overall feel to the clothing that matches the face. Going to be doing a shoulder holder for him I think, or I might void the gun for a flashlight like B.A.S. 

Framedworld

Last nights stream results on Twitch , just getting into a groove. Started with a sculpt in Oculus Medium that I then took into #zbrush. Just a #doodle but I kinda think this might be cool with armor or cybernetic pieces.

Framedworld

did a super rough quick doodle sunday retopoed it, and textured it in Allegorithmic substance painter. And rendered it in marmoset. Just a silly sketch. I don't know what the heck it is. An alien? Shrek? My late uncle bobby? oh well.

threw this guy up on sketchfab

I've begun to upload a few of leaders I had a chance to work on. I'm not gonna dump the whole lot, but there are a few up there now. Check em out!

I'll be uploading a few more as we go as well as the Xcom work I did.  follow along at https://www.artstation.com/framedworld

What is your Medium > ZBrush workflow? Do you start bashing together ideas in medium then export to ZBrush to refine? Do you disregard your Medium sculpt completely, or use it as a Dynamesh base in ZBrush? I'm really curious in how the pros integrate medium into their workflow!

Love your work by the way! I'm a big fan of the caricature art style of the Civ VI leaders!

I had the real honor to work on the Chosen for Xcom 2: War of the Chosen. I was tasked with helping design the heads and create the final game asset heads for the game (model and textures). Most of the R&D work was done on the Assassin character and then brought over to the other two. The armors were done by the very talented Alan Denham. Art direction by the amazing Chris Sulzbach, who also lit and rendered the images for me. as well.
