Anyways... Hope you like my stuff!

nice work! Are you gonna texture them too? can't wait to see more

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Aug 2016

Nah. I personally don't like when sculptures are colored in.

kohg · Aug 2016

We're off to a good start. Are these all your creations? Other than the one from Soul reaver did you based them of concepts? Also would be nice to have NSFW warning, with the dicks and all...Anyway i'm sad to hear you won't be texturing them, maybe you'll change your mind once you start seeing other projects here, similar to yours and how great and fantastic they end up once they're fully textured and properly lit.

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Aug 2016

yeah... I've noticed a lot of people care about this stuff way more than I do, i guess that's because it like their jobs. I just do this for fun. I might post some textured stuff eventually but it probably wont be sculpted stuff. Anyways... I Was messing around with Some hard surface sculpting and made a Space Battle Drone... Thing.

The skull coffin backpack and the guy wearing it are from a game/anime called Gungrave. The harpy looking thing reminds me of something from another game but I can't quite recall which.

Tomiajayi · Aug 2016

really awesome!
anybody remember the company Glyphx? They did the original lok cgi.
used to be a huge fan of theirs. google em!

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Aug 2016

Oh, right, I guess I should clear that up. The first two are characters i just made up. The harpy is Sirene from Devilman. and yes the guy with the coffin is from GunGrave. I guess I like doing fan art of extremely obscure stuff.

Hello again, people. I posted a topic in general requests but since no one actually goes there, and i don't feel like retyping it, I'm gonna put a link to it here. http://polycount.com/discussion/174927/if-you-can-teach-me-blender-i-can-teach-you-zbrush#latest

Loving that Cain and gunslinger piece. Have to say, that goat hermaphrodite threw me off guard. xD

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Aug 2016

...been reading 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' and felt like sculpting an animal man.

Nice pieces! For someone that does this has a hobby, jeez, I wish I could do some of the things you do.

xAllyCatx · Sep 2016

Beautiful work! Love the detail and anatomy.

Tomtegubbe · Sep 2016

Breasts and a penis, that's a bit odd. Your latest penis also looks a bit odd, I would say they're distracting, especially since you've put so much detail into them. I wouldn't want to post you penis reference but otherwise they're very cool sculpts. I remember soul reaver, that was a nice game.

Shadespirit · Sep 2016

love that Kain really brings up good memories

Nicorepe · Sep 2016

Oh man the Kain model, so good, nostalgia is in. Great job.

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Oct 2016

Soon...

It's funny how every single model I've made started from this same base. ...don't know why i'm posting this. (just bored i guess)

pmiller001 · Nov 2016

Can we please see a timelapse video, cause I am having the hardest time imagining how you start from this, and end with the barbarian king haha. nice work!

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Jan 2017

Been looking back at my work from 2016 and realized my posing is kinda shit. So I'm gonna start practicing some more extreme poses. I plan on doing 3 male and 3 female. Here is my first model with a focus on the arms. (keep in mind I'm not taking these to completion.)

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Jan 2017

Some more practice.

shabba · Jan 2017

Really cool work man, I love the clay render look too personally! And its awesome that this is just something fun you do as a passionate hobby. (y)

X-One · Jan 2017

Man, if this is a hobby for you, what are you doing professionally? Nice work regardless.

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Jan 2017

Thanks for the compliments. I work for UPS. lol

bwuz · Jan 2017

This should be your job and UPS should be your hobby! Damn, impressive.

Klawd · Jan 2017

Maybe he owns ups!
Seriously, stunning work man

Ragnar_Danneskjöld · Jan 2017

So, Stanislav Prokopenko (shameless name drop) asked me to show him how i visualize forearms, he seemed to like my method, so i thought I would share it here.

The forearm can be a pain in the ass to visualize (cause, It's so god damn twisty), so sculpt it in the flat/"supinated" position. as a wedge shaped box. I like to cut a simple line down the center to act as a visual cue.
The red line represents where the ulna would be, this is an important landmark to remember when you are looking at reference.

I Use the transpose tools to twist it into the neutral position everyone is familiar with. Once, I've done that the anatomy is super easy l to figure out.
always remember that line between the corner of the wrist and the elbow.

I hope this helps anyone struggling with the visualizing the forearm. If you have any questions; don't bother asking them cause I won't answer. Just kidding! well... maybe...
