Sketchbook: Gustavo Grazziano

ggrazziano · Apr 2020

Hello everyone!

My name is Gustavo Grazziano and I'm a Brazilian artist.

I've been doing 2D art for a while now and since a year and a half ago I started learning some basic tools on Maya (having finally done a full 3D project exactly a year ago).

Here are my social media:

This is the project that I'm currently working on!

In the beginning, I was following an Arwen's drawing (Lord of the Rings) as concept art, but in the end, I decided to do it on my own. I'm also pushing it to a more Blizzard / Overwatch style.

What I'm doing now is refining the hair and making some tweaks to it be more on the Overwatch way.

And last, I'll just finish the bust, so I'm going to cut the bottom part when I have finalized the high poly.

Have a good quarantine!

Weekly report #2 !!

One more week and I believe that this high poly will be done to start doing retopo and bakes on the next weekend.

Now I'm working a lot on the hair and I believe that there still are somethings that I can do to improve.

A good week for everyone!

Weekly Report #3

I'm on my schedule!

This week I made the retopology, the UVs, and baked the normals. Now I'm still trying to get a better normal map, but it's so hard to have a great bake and also save a few polys.

Next week I'll have at least a base texture.

Thanks for the visit!

WEEKLY REPORT #4: Colors!

I've spent my last week baking a better normal map and finding the best color palette for this character. In the last image, I started to improve the albedo map on 3DCoat as I believe I've finally decided the colors. After that, I'll start to work on Substance Painter.

Have a good week!

And I was able to finalize it! Here are the final images rendered on Marmoset.

There is also a MarmosetViewer. I posted it on my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/2xD8JB

I've started a new project! This time I'm doing a Blizzard fanart.

My two main references for this one are Muradin (Heroes of the Storm) and Torbjorn (Overwatch).

The first hours of every project are always the most painful. It looks like I don't know how to do it anymore. Hopefully, I believe that now I'm getting in the correct direction.

Every critique is welcome!

ggrazziano · May 2020

I here again to update the current stage of my dwarf project!

As the overall shape is already defined, I'm working on the details now.

I dedicated a great time doing the armor scale and the fur, but I still need to do some tweaks in these parts before finalizing the character.

Third dwarf's post!

I've been sculpting tons of tiny things. I also decided to redo the beard in another way, this time with a lot more details (that is what I've been doing during the entire weekend).

One more update on my dwarf! This time I had a busy week, so I couldn't work very much on him

ggrazziano · Jun 2020

Hey everyone, I'm here again for one more update!

The highpoly is done. Now need to do everything else lol. I also started thinking about his hammer.

Image: https://d1s0ws440m13mk.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/0/803e991588faa825e2b138d5b4b5bfa1abd4331c.png

And here are some sketches that I'm working or for a sculpture that I'm doing in a course. It is Illaoi and Ezreal (League of Legends), but I going to do them with a different skin done by me.

Hope you like it!

I've almost forgotten to do my weekly post. Here is my progress on my two current projects.

DWARF
I finalized his hammer's low poly and now I'm working on his body's retopology.

ILLAOI/EZREAL SCULPTURE
I've decided which composition I'm going to do, so now I defining the character's overall proportions and design.

Suggestions are welcome!

ggrazziano · Jul 2020

It is finally taking form! Except for the skin, I'm using the same five Substance Painter layers to do every material albedo. I still want to work more on it before finishing it on Photoshop/3D Coat. And after I've finished it I will do the metallic and roughness maps.

Thanks for visiting my topic!

ggrazziano · Jul 2020

Project finalized! Now I can focus all my efforts on the other project that I've been doing.

Thanks everyone that has been following this topic!

It's been a while since the last time I've updated this topic about my League of Legends fan art.

I've defined the characters proportions and não I'm working on some hard surfaces inside zBrush.

ggrazziano · Jul 2020

Another update of my sculpture!

I gathered all the pieces to have a better view of how it's going.

ggrazziano · Aug 2020

omg I totally forget to post last week!

Here are some hard surfaces that I have been working on. Everything was done on zBrush.

Take care!

ggrazziano · Aug 2020

Here is how the entire thing is going on!

ggrazziano · Aug 2020

My sculpture is far from done, so I started this other one to unwind a bit. It is based on a Joe Mad's character for a Wolverine's comic.

I am planning to make it a low poly character, maybe with more polys than my other projects.

Take care!

(I need to stop forgetting to do my weekly post

This week I made a small break on making my current project to participate in a contest organized by Igor Catto and Wacom.

The goal was to do a bust of any character, so I chose Peter Parker's Boss, J. J. Jameson.

ggrazziano · Sep 2020

Coming back to the sculpture project! Currently, I'm working on the hair of the characters. Illaoi's hair is still on the base modeling, so I've decided to just post the Ezreal.

Take care!

ggrazziano · Oct 2020

The final shape is starting to appear.

Take care, everyone!

ggrazziano · Oct 2020

Ezreal's shoes are done! Probably I will just need to fix some details to make it work for printing.

Take care!

ggrazziano · Nov 2020

It has been a while since the last time that I posted here (almost one month). I am finalizing some parts of the model and cutting it, so it is not a very exciting moment to share it.

So I decided to start another print project (a simpler one lol). Who might be this character?

Take care!

nicely done, it shows you're progressing quite quickly on the technical bits of 3d and texturing. I like how dynamic your poses are, keep it up!

ggrazziano · Nov 2020

Thanks a lot Whoolkan!

Here is the last big piece that was remaining to be modeled on my sculpture.

Take care!

ggrazziano · Nov 2020

I've made some progress during the last days. This one is going to be Hanamichi Sakuragi from Slam Dunk.

Take care!

ggrazziano · Nov 2020

I'm finally almost there! Now, I'm doing the last tweaks and preparing the render. Here a preview that I've done on Keyshot.

Take care!

The first image I already posted one month ago, but I am posting it again to make it more organized. It is almost done, but the final touches take a lot of time.

I'm discovering the 3D print world!

It is a bit hard, and something goes wrong every time. It is fun, though

This semester I'm going to come back and post more game-related things

I'm coming back to the fundamentals and studying the anatomy of each part of the body before doing my next personal project. This week was the torso and next week it is going to be the arms.

Thanks for visiting my sketchbook!
