Sketchbook: Lionel Cornelius Jr

Starting a sketchbook over here for the first time. Gonna drop in all my wips and stuff here. Drop a comment or two if you like. I'm always open to learning from others.

Here's my work in progress for the Star Wars Reimagined contest.

bit more progress on this dude. Still exploring with the costume design so everything is still rough at the moment.

I'm also thinking about adding a helmet so I blocked out a shape for that.

@pmiller001thanks man!

Here's my final entry for the Star Wars contest. I'll try and post more images later.

Still trying to get better at modeling and designing creatures. It's been super rough...and tough.
Initially, the idea was to sculpt a creature per day, but that ended up being to ambitious for my schedule.
But I'm trying to push through doing at least 2-3 per week. 


Normally I just jump into zbrush and start sculpting whatever comes to mind.
That's another thing I want to change during these "creatureDays"...my approach to a character or idea.
I want to get back into the habit of starting with a small story first so that things are more clear during
design instead of impromptu sculpting. 


Anyhow, here's a couple of sketchy concepts from last night. One male and female version.
I kind of like the female at the moment and will probably push her design a bit further.
If anyone wants to chime in and share their process, critiques, etc..I'm all ears.

another creature doodle. Hope to get in a few more of these before the end of the month. Then take a look at them all and hopefully take a couple to finished sculpts.
