Sketchbook: Aleksey S.

AlekseyS

Hi, guys!

My name is Aleksey S. I am a concept artist and an indie game developer from Canada.

After a few years of freelance and developing my skills, I wanted to contribute to the community that has taught me so much, so I’ve started a patreon page and I’m really excited to share what I’ve been working on.

Teaser Trailer Showing the process:

The theme of my first month was medieval fantasy. The character took 10 days from start to finish. Sculpted in Zbrush, retopology and UVs in 3D Coat, textured in substance painter.

I recorded the whole process and spent many sleepless nights narrating it and cutting it down to 6 hours of tutorials, which I am releasing for one dollar. Additional tiers offer assets, personalized feedback and a mentorship. I’m hoping that my wide range of skills and knowledge about gamedev asset production pipeline will be useful to people.

Here are some smaller free tutorials i’ve recorded so far:

I am currently working on a second content pack, which is going to cover the creation process of a modular environment tileset. So far i have a rough BSP blockout in unreal engine and a few sketches. I will be using zbrush + 3d coat for sculpting and Substance painter for texturing. I’m gonna be posting updates as I go.

Let me know what you guys think! If you like my content and wanna see more, please check out the patreon page and throw a few bucks my way, which will help me focus on putting out more high-quality content.

Attempted to embed a marmoset viewer code. But it doesn't look like it is supported.

Hi, guys! Here's a small update on what I've been up to. Modular environment series is starting to come together. It's been a lot of work and there's still a lot more to do. It was super fun though. Really can't wait to finish and release it.

Here's another update on my environment.  So far I've recorded 150+ hours of footage that I will be editing down and narrating into tutorials. Will be releasing it later this month for a dollar.

amazing! your concept art skills are really great! and the models/texture are stunning, really huge ammounts of detail there.
The renders seem to be lacking something though. I can't put my finger on it, but I would guess it's the lighting. There are lots of pitch black spots everywhere.
Outside of that, great work.

Looks awesome!

Stay tuned!

Here's a assault rifle design I've done in 3D-Coat over the weekend. Still not completely finalized. I've recorded the entire process and now putting together a free video on hardsurface voxel modelling in 3DC.

I've released the first part of my 3D-Coat blockout process tutorial. 
Check it out!
