Chumkid's Hut

Hi there, I'm the new kid on the block. I'm a freelancing artist from Germany. I hope to get some feedback and help in field of 3d here at polycount. My major field of work is illustration and concept art. But I've been doing more and more in 3d for some years now. I've learned a lot and found my new passion in 3d, especially in creating characters and creatures.

I work mainly with ZBrush and sometimes with Blender or 3DS MAX. In the most cases my texturing work is a mixture between polypainting in ZBrush, PBR in Substance Painter and finalizing in Photoshop. So long, this will be my new 3d sketchbook.

I want to start with my latest work, a realtime portrait of Daniel Emilfork as 'Krank' from the movie 'The City of Lost Children'. It is a tribute to the actor and a great movie which had a huge impact on me.
It was the first time I made real-time hair. Hope you like it.

Rendered with the Trial Version of Marmoset Toolbag, it is great.

I've also uploaded it on Sketchfab so you can watch him from every angle. All the details would only be visible, if you activate the HD version.

Wowed nice hair. The shirt material isnt too good to me. It looks like plastic, is that what it is supposed to be?
Nice job!

Thanks man! Yes, the shirt is made up of some kind of latex rubber.

This is my reference:

Troglobite

This is a character I made for a contest on Humster 3D a few month ago. I was quite unhappy with my final result. So I decided to rework some textures and change the pose and the whole concept a little bit. I made some screengrabs from Marmoset Toolbag to make a worthy presentation of this guy.

I was a litte bit confused because of the difference between a troglodyte and a troglobite. So I took the consequence and changed the name of the project.

Characters Story:

This is an amphibious, hominid Troglobite. They are blind and inhabit a huge subterranean cavern system. Every season the males go on a journey to bring the fertilized spawn to a well kept secret place. On their way they have to resist several perils.

Software: ZBrush, Substance Painter, Photoshop

Long time no post. I tried to participate at Sculptjanuary but I had to do a bunch of work besides. So I decided to quit the competition. But it was great to create something new everyday. Here is a selection of this works.
