Stylized X-Men series

Dasp

Hi everyone it's my first post here. Been here for a while but I was too shy 

I had an idea to move away for few days from pure realistic anatomy daily's. So, I started small series of stylized face sculpts. I've enjoyed it so much that decided to texture and render them. And now I'm doing second series of stylized characters. Sculpts took me between 1-4 hours in the morning. Texturing took about 3 hours. Characters are based on awesome concepts from Randy Bishop. 

I think hardest part when making them was how to make those huge eyes with weird shapes fit with spherical eyeballs.

 If you would like to see some work in progress from next series or current look here https://www.instagram.com/maciejgornicki/ or https://www.artstation.com/artist/dasp

Feedback always welcome. Enjoy!

Asura

The night crawler one is great! I like how fun the characters feel

NateMasterFlash

These are super cool.  I really like the way you handled the suit materials.

kreativbloc

Good work. Very expressive faces !

Sage

Really cool. Colossus seems a bit to grumpy to how the character is in the comics. You can give him a bigger eyes if you want to show off his soft side.

@Asura thanks!
@NateMasterFlash I've special focus on it, my reference was modern spiderman costume but with twists.
@kreativbloc I'm trying to improve my skills in this area.
@Sage oh now I see it, you are right. Sometimes it's easy to lose objectiveness

awesome work man really loving this cartoon approch you have. i would probably rework a bit the texture on the wolverine mask, your hextile doesn't cover all of the mask but maybe it was your intention ^^. Anyway awesome work on the textures.

Dasp

@Vermo3D Thanks! With the mask that was my intention, it was getting too noisy so I wanted to have part of the suit light on the details.

Vermo3D

thx for the explaining man ^^

This time Jubilee, a lot of pink! Latex coat, bubble gum and neon pink glasses. Enjoy!

wow, dont take this the wrong way, but im surprised by how shitty/sketchy your models look right out of zbrush.
you really know how to render them for sure, really curious on your workflow from finished zbrush sculpt to final image.

haha, I feel the same. The end result is what matters but its surprising how "unfinished" the starting point is

I agree, I don't spend too much time on the sculpts. Maximum few hours over few days in the morning, I keep it as an exercise.
There is nothing special about the workflow outside ZBrush, mesh goes to Substance Painter for texturing and then render.

These are great, esp the final renders but I feel like the last 2 are lower quality then the first 5-6.  The rogue and jubilee just don't look as good sculpt-wise.  Just my 10 cents.  Not sure if you spent less time on those or not.  Still, pretty fun little lineup you've got going.

Yeah, I put less effort and time in the last two. I guess it's summer so I got lazy  . Thanks for feedback!
