Unleash the forms challenge!

universe

Hi!

Lately I've been having some hard time, so I decided to make a small challenge to improve myself and create some sculptures that define me and my art. I'm making this topic to help me in this work, but If you'd like to try the challenge, post your work here, which will make me very happy! The rules are simple:

• Sculpt anything just from your imagination.
  
• Make it flow and spend about 1 or 2 hours on sculpt.
• Don't worry about topology and all the crap (I'm doing some dynamesh only but if you wish you can do whatever you want)
• Into name of sculpt, I put date,my mood and music I was listening.
• I'm using mostly clay buildup and I'm not using smooth brush.

I used to do similar things back when I switch from mudbox to zbrush .Probably done more then 500 alien heads and creatures .Its good for training your imagination but it doesn't teaches you important design principals, structure, anatomy and so on .Why don't you pick someone like Bammes or Hogarth and learn how to simplified and construct forms

universe

@carvuliero Thanks for Your advice, I'll surely check that books, but actually I know most of human anatomy and exact point of this small challenge was to practise my imagination and chill a bit. Despite all of this, my tomorrow sculpture might be just about human forms, we'll see . Regards!

So which one was more beneficial for you , doing some random stuff or specific study

universe

Thanks for answer @carvuliero . You are completely right I think. Those few pieces were fun but they didn't improve my skills as much as some studies. I will change direction of this challenge a little bit now.

Here's a thing I'm working on now. I started it some time ago but it's not finished, so I decided to put some effort in his anatomy because it's a male basemesh for my game. He is not always anatomical correct, especially the rib cage, but it is how I wanted to him to look and tomorrow I'm going to improve it. .Today I worked on his arms and legs a bit.

universe

While I was writing previous post I realized that I don't like the rib cage, so I tried to fix it:

carvuliero

Slimming limbs will help to bring him back to more believable proportions , or is he just a synthol addict ?

Brian "Panda" Choi

His mon pubis could use some more definition.

I like the aesthetic, though.

universe

@carvuliero He's not a Synthol addict xD but I called him "thicc boy", so I wanted him to look like a crazy bodybuilder. @Brian "Panda" Choi I tried to make this part look better, but I'm still not sure about the ribcage. I added two layers- skin and veins, so I can adjust their values easily, where skin is basically just smoothing some areas. I think that he is good for a basemesh. Now I'm going to do some texturing and in nearest future, I'll make some various armour pieces for him.

universe

Hi,

Sorry for my absence but I was not able to post anything. Here's a piece of armour I've done for him. I'll texture it with body.

Regards!
