Sketchbook: Omari McCord <Takai>
vertex
Well... I need critique. Straight up, I crave progression but FEAR (false expectations appearing real) putting my work out there until its 100% completed! The insanity of it is that I tend to find glaring errors after its been posted that could have easily been solved with just some simple critique. So I will just... let that go and move forward as always.
I am doing a buncha personal projects for portfolio pieces right now and I tutor and part time instruct at the local community college for an introductory Zbrush course. I love teaching people the software and little tricks along the way first hand, and just making stuff with zbrush and sometimes regular clay.
Jedi Temple WIP:
These I consider sketches right now, the hands and feet need more attention on most of them. This whole project is about emulating an old masters to learn more about anatomy. I got interested in Greek Hellenistic statues... somehow, I dunno. Just they seem so alive and captured in time. The culture preserved in a beautiful pose, as narcissistic to the human form as many of the statues are (but in our time we have instagram...so) whatever... To attempt to make idealized looking people, it was part of the Hellenistic culture. I really like Star Wars so why not mix the two cultures for a project and make them into a temple? Also, to work out kinks so I dont make archaic figures... like artist did BEFORE the Hellenistic era.
Thats a fun way to learn. Build light sabers and learn more about lighting and Keyshot Pro... make some architecture, attempt some likenesses, you know get into the mind of the old masters, and ask questions like: what is a hero, what is evil, what can a person welding a laser sword be, what are the limitations of a lightsaber's design, how does a figure look posed way... just journey to becoming a more capable digital sculptor.
20 Statues is the goal.
Blah blah blah -> WIP Pictures.

The concept was based on the “Danger Girl’s” comic book character’s silhouettes. There are 14 animations, Hope you like it!
