Hey everyone, I am a first year uni student and this is my first attempt at the zbrush sculpting of a hard surface model.

Shaded Wire


This was my first beauty shot but I was told there was too much purple in one spot and nothing "popped"


This is my current beauty shot with changed colors and slightly better glows


Any tips or crits on how i can improve this final shot is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Brew

this makes me wet

render it with some more perspective imo. widen the field of view a lot and make it look more dramatic, will help the presentation a lot.

Tail looks way to static, needs some more movement in there.

those legs wouldnt work mechanically...or at least appear that way... there are no working hinges and they are too thin a we bulk up maybe three spars inm the lower part and four in the top would immediatly help..

personally i would get rid of most of the paint, maybe keep the yellow areas but change it to a nice orange and work more on differect types of metal, like chrome details, steel armour and copper electronic bits...maybe

give the background a bit of gradient

if you wanna keep the purple colour desaturate the diffuse by about 70 percent and let the spec do a bit more did a quick PS test and it looks far better

Brewer

Thanks shepeiro, I will work on building up the legs and try a different paint job

I will also change the tail to a less static postition.

I'll stay with mostly gray/ metal texture and probably add a bit rust and damages here and there, since its a creature from the past I guess it'll add more character into it.

And probably you can make the head longer and thinner, currently it reminds me of Ninja Turtle's enemy.

Agreed. Everything could use a lot more plausible detail. The arms, the legs, the jaw.
