One of those "Sculpting threads"

PixelGoat

So I'm not the world best organic modeller, but I've decided to change that! So here I will post any sculpts that I will be doing in the future.

Hoping for some harsh critique polycount style!


First up... a bust I started yesterday evening, not going for realism in particular, just wanted to make a cool face to start off with. I call him Jawman...cuz of the very pronounced jaw!

Love the rough look. It looks as if it was made of stone.

What's up with eyelids? I'd rework that area, it isn't holding up very well. I can't tell if eyes are supposed to be open or closed.

PixelGoat

Aye, getting to the eyes.... im thinking of just adding a pair of real orbs there and sculpt around them. just freebasing it clearly isnt working

Joopson

yeah, Eyes are a bitch to sculpt.
Other than the eyes though, it looks really cool. Even if I would never go near him on the street...

update:

The Jaw of Justice finally has eyes. Something about the eyelids looks funny, like their dented. Even still this is a cool looking sculpt.

PixelGoat

Tiny update with improved eyelids and chin

Maybe try to add some fleshiness to the lips, they are razor-sharp ATM. I was also liking the lips in the initial version a bit more, since they seemed more relaxed and natural. On the current version the lips are very pinched in the middle.

Another sculpt I started at lunch today :P

Still very rough but I figured I'd post it early so you can jump in with any critique you might have.

I really, really like this model, the face is so chiseled as far as the features go. I am absolutely no one to give advice, but looking at his head & neck, there is just something that does not sit right with me, maybe its the large neck, it is a more stylized piece after all. Great work my friend, I wish I were of the same caliber, thanks for sharing!

He's off-balance. That's the only problem I see, and the head pose is awkward looking at the ground

PixelGoat

Hmm indeed he is... will work some more on him at lunch, and try to correct it. Thanks for the feedback

PixelGoat

a bit more progress... started a bit on the face aswell.

Awwee, why did you change his face? I liked what you originally had. It was intense!

One thing I do see that bothers me is that his calf muscles are almost larger than his thigh muscles, or at least wider. I would make the thigh muscles a bit larger, especially up towards his hips. Hips might be a bit too skinny. Torso is too long? I don't know, I'm not a character modeller so it's up to you, just telling you what I am seeing.

Oh, one more thing. The thigh muscle that looks like a tear drop ending near his knee cap.. it looks too like too much. Smooth that out just a bit, not too much.

PixelGoat

Hmm do you mean the first bust I posted? or the head on the first fullbody picture? because the bust is a separate sculpt, and I am very happy with how that is going so not changing that

GOBEE

Oh ok cool. I thought it was the same guy. In that case, all is well! That first head you sculpted really does look like stone. Love it.

PixelGoat

Bit stuck on this atm... not sure what else needs to be done...

I suppose I could go and do the hands and feet... but I don´t want to
