Hi everyone! Just recently started a new project. I wanted to try to make this James C. Christiansen painting in 3D:

I'm hoping to practice a bit of everything with this one: sculpting multiple different characters, getting more familiar with ZBrush, stylized PBR, translating a still image to 3D, etc....
Here's a screengrab of where I am at so far, finished with general blocking in Maya and ready to start bringing each of these in to ZBrush:

I'm excited to see where this project goes!

I've started to sculpt the bird stand, boat, toucan and mouse in ZBrush, got their general shapes blocked out:
(Still got to do the mouse feet at some point)
We're expecting a little one very soon, so the progress on this will likely be much slower for the time being, but I will update this as I can!
Any feedback so far?
My very very slow march on this project continues… But I thought I would share a bit of an update with the toucan. Still a long way to go, but it’s nice to see something, and it’s been fun experimenting with different things…
Be back in two months with something else, haha
Still plenty I would like to add to, but it's good enough for now, I think.
Any thoughts?
Just in time to finish this year, haha!
Here's the Artstation Link with more images, and the Sketchfab turnaround:

I learned a lot from this project; it obviously took a large chunk of year working on and off to finish. Still plenty that would be fun to fix, but like 2020, I think I'm ready to leave this behind in favor of something new.
Any feedback is always appreciated! Thanks for stopping by
