I like da second guy, looks like an angry alien club bouncer ready to throw you out on your ass.

Donavonyoung

Thanks mate. Kinda the thought I had when I was sculpting him.

Donavonyoung

On his pants this guy does the breast feeding!

Sputch

On his pants this guy does the breast feeding!

That has to be one of the strangest sentences I have heard in a while.

Donavonyoung

Ha ha typo for sure!! Here is a small sculpt of lips made from a plane. Nothing special just some practice!!

Donavonyoung

Study from tonight.

spacemonkey

Good stuff Donavon, the more you can do from the reference the quicker you'll see improvements

Donavonyoung

Thanks Spacemonkey. That means a lot. I am a huge fan!!

Donavonyoung

Here is another sketch from tonight. Did it while watching Jesse Moody model a sick as robot.

Jeff Parrott

You're making huge strides real fast! Keep at it. This thread is going to be gold in a few months.

Donavonyoung

Thanks man, all I am doing is being more aware of my decisions.

MrNinjutsu

Nice sketches man Donavon. Keep at it, liking the alien busts.

Donavonyoung

Thanks for the support guys. I just want to head home now, and sculpt some more, and do some polypainting.

dannedadon

yeah, liking what I'm seeing

Donavonyoung

Just wanted to add a little life the last alien bust. So here is the really quick polypaint.

Dimfist

Donavonyoung

Unless shes got some implants those breast are way too round and the abdominal is kinda stretch and descended more then it should be. Fatty build up on the abdominal makes kind of a natural break right above the pelvis that your missing.

Proportions looks great, just missing some of the more 'muscular' details.

JnasconeArt

These are very fun! Please keep it up and keep posting :-D

seth.

you are making great strides forward here....I especially like the mouth from a plane, nice forms!

Donavonyoung

Here is a new sketch. As always C&C is more than welcome.

njc6425

some cool zsketches here man loving the different aliens

Donavonyoung

Here is a base mesh with some basic anatomy I hope to share with the Polycount community so the new people can have a jumping off point. It is still a bit rough and I am going to finish it with solid anatomy for me, but I will give the base mesh out to whomever wants it. Hoping to have it done soon.

Donavonyoung

Here is an Ogre sketch from this morning. Hope you all like it. I plan on taking it a bit farther though. I will also post an update to the above anatomy study ASAP.

Donavonyoung

TehSplatt

Making progress but i think you need to flesh every thing out alot more looks like your jumping up sub divisions before you have got basic forms down your skin and muscle doesnt feel like it has real weight behind it. One thing that helped my while sculpting is just to remember gravity exists haha

Donavonyoung

Here is my latest sketch for you folks.

Donavonyoung

Here is a quick polypaint of the last study, and a quick little sketch with some really big arms.

user38

Ha, I just watched you sculpt some of these last night!

Donavonyoung

Been a bit inactive on this thread lately. Here are some sketches I did from tonight's CrunchCast hangout. Hope you enjoy. Still have a lot of surface detail to work on in the older man face so I will keep you guys updated on its progress.

Donavonyoung

Its been a bit since I have last updated this guy so here ya go, the latest sketch.

ebagg

This is a great sketch thread, showing a ton of self improvement since the original post! The hunchback is awesome!!! Please, post more angles, would be great to see some 3/4 shots of these latest pieces!

One minor suggestion I'd say is working on your nose structure, the front ball of the nose feels a bit too merged with the nostrils on some of your pieces, they could use a little more planar separation. Just me being picky (har har, nose, picky), here's an awesome breakdown video that helped me a lot;

Donavonyoung

Here is an update on some anatomy practice from tonight. Still a ways to go but I am feeling better.

Donavonyoung

Wow its been a while since I had last updated this thread, and its really awesome to see my own growth. Here's another post for you guys. Hope you can enjoy it, and leave some C&C if you feel the need. Cheers.

Donavonyoung

Boy I have not been updating this thing at all! Well here is something I kicked out during some free time at work.
