So here is the rest of the progress on the characters I made for my own adaptation of The Music of Erich Zann. And so the characters are ready for animation.


Base Mesh Modelling:






Insane Head:



Body:



Facial Rigging:



Texturing with Normal Maps:
For the first time ever, I touched Zbrush just to get some better textures with normal maps. I will surely try to use zbrush as much as possible for following projects. It is just incredible, how much detail you can get out of a low poly mesh. I could have stayed a lot longer sculpting in Zbrush butit was a really tight deadline.

Sculpting:



Texture:



it is quite dark the picture but is just to the wrinkles etc.

The Final Renders with Colour and Spec Maps

eCzety

Here are some final animation renders. just to show the characters in their environment.










As these projects arrives to an end, I will take on the robot Pirate character designs and begin to model them, this time I will play a bit more with Zbrush. I will post the progress on here.

Somehow the previous post was not showing the pictures now it seems to be fixed.

Recently, I have been trying to level up my anatomy skills, so i began to study the human body in detail, for now it is just details later I will move onto poses.

Sandeir

Some more anatomy studies I have been doing lately, although I have been doing specific studies to learn the skeleton i decided to move onto poses.

As promised, after finishing the ercih Zann Project, Im trying to get hold of zbrush and try new approaches. So I took my previously designed character " The Robot Pirates" and im modelling /sculpting. I will be posting the progress as i move along until i completed the 3 characters.

Hi polycounters!
I have been away for quite sometime now, but I am now returning. since my last post, I stopped being a student and embarked on a journey of freelancing. I wont be posting previous work( as you can see on my portfolio). but I will use this thread for my sketches, sculptures, characters etc.

I have introduced zbrush into my character workflow, So I will share some sketches i will do within the program.

Working on the base mesh and trying to create some weight.

Decided to try Dynamesh and add extra details on the trousers and socks. Also I went on sculpting non-symmetrically.

I continued add the first pass detail on my Glutton King Model, on the torso and legs. Also i decided to change a bit the concept and pop his belly out, to emphasize his character.
