Mario Bros "Shy Guy Tower"
polycounter lvl 10
It has been SO long since I've posted anything. But I finally completed something I'm proud of in ZBrush. I normally do Props and Environments but got inspired to try characters after seeing a painting of this.
Original concept by Justin Hillgrove. I saw his work at a local Art Fair in Bellevue, WA and fell in love with his fun and kid friendly art style. I bought a bunch of his prints for my sons room, including this Mario Bros piece below. I stared at it so many sleepless nights and kept thinking "I need to bring this into ZBrush." Like, for months. So I finally did. Worked on it 30-60 min here and there during lunch at work. Hope you guys like! Thoughts, critique and questions welcome.
I blocked this out in Maya first. Sculpted, painted and rendered in ZBrush and then brought it all together in Photoshop.
You can see more of my work on my ArtStation
More of Justin Hillgroves work at ImpsAndMonsters He has more Nintendo type paintings as well as Star Wars! Pretty cool stuff.
