Hey guys! I started with some stone props yesterday and now i´m looking for some Crits&Comments.

This is what i got so far:

    Not a bad start. What are you using for reference?

    Couple things, rocks do no fit perfectly together 100% of the time. Each rock you have made fits perfectly with it's adjacent rocks. I think you need to give the space between the rocks some more depth too.

    Heres and idea of that I mean:

    Hope that helps a bit. :)

    hmm.... you are right, but i think that your pic is a little bit extreme.

    What i wanted was more like a solid rock which broke apart because of weather and stuff.

    But to be honest i didn´t use reference(shame on me), i just doodled around and tried something new for me.

    That's pretty good for a first attempt.

    Your rock looks just a little too tame and fabricated in my opinion. I could be wrong though, you might be following your reference perfectly (assuming you are using reference). If you're not using reference try to make an interesting silhouette first and then worry about it's surface later.

    Good work!

    Pretty cool. But a bit sandy looking. Maybe greater contrast between where the stones connect?

    There isn't enough variation in the silhouette, it looks like a block. The material is good.

    I wanted to add some dirt inbetween the stones, because now it really looks kinda weird like they are carved in instead of broken apart.

    @doeseph:
    Thx man :)
    As i said before i didn´t use any reference, but next time i will for sure :poly142:

    <edit> lulz looks like I'm repeating what everyone else is saying

    They look a bit soft, I'd try sculpting individual stones, piling them up and then putting a mushy mesh inside for the dirt. Reference helps with piled stones otherwise you get into the habit of stones that look like they were cut by hand to fit together.

    I like the texturing, you're getting some good results. Just like what has been mentioned above, I recommend some sharper and matted edges.
