I guess i'll post my finished work here... : )

This is my second attempt at sculpting.




My SketchBook on Polycount

I shouldve mentioned, It's Sandman a spiderman villian .... based off of humberto ramos design.

Yeah, i need more work on Anatomy reference on how things connect together, but i felt i could get away with (comic book) proportions.

Alberto Rdrgz

is he a rock-man?

i think..
. the shirt should have a cloth texture, not the same rock cracks.
. you should try looking at some anatomy reference, and always research before hand.
. you should decide on a style.
. the head is uber~small

Rockley Bonner

even if he is an abstract sand man, I think you need to put some emphasis on anatomy. from what I see you dont have a good grasp of it. Also, generaly, if a portfolio thread is posted it has a link to an actual portfolio.

yeah i definitely need to study up on anatomy, no doubt about it.

here's my sketchbook for this guy:

That's not comic book proportions, it's random blobs with high frequency cracks. Start doing anatomy studies. The large details is the start, then medium and small details. Don't skip steps.

kness

yes, i could totally see how it could look like random blobs... in the first image... maybe i shouldve just have him forming / transitioning out of a pillar of sand,

i wanted to sculpt those grooves into his arms like... in
http://zatransis.deviantart.com/gall...ndman#/d1x0gtv
is that why it turn out blobby... hmm.


and it looks like i didnt at those little specks of specularity that sand often show.

zakhar2

lol they look like random blobs because they are random blobs, and no literally no amount of denial or explanations will fix that.

kness

im not denying it, they do look like random blobs...

but i do want to have what he did on the arms on my arms....
http://zatransis.deviantart.com/gall...ndman#/d1x0gtv
i'll take another crack at it tonight.

kness

okay... i redid the arms.... (not finished).... Is it still look like random blobs....

did some ref on hulk like creatures and muscle builders....

I do love those wavey horizontal lines that Zatransis did on his Sandman http://zatransis.deviantart.com/gall...ndman#/d1x0gtv im afraid it come off to (random bloobby) .... but i also like those deap cutts, maybe i can find a inbetween comprimise.

a layered or stepped look.... ???

thanks for the critique, im quite enjoying this.... and learing alot, would this count as my third attempt at sculpting, since im spend so much time on this piece.



sorry for the grammar and mis-spelling.... lack of sleep is making me less coherant. : /

i think you need to do a couple of actual anatomy studies before you try to stylise something you seem to have little understanding of.

Rockley Bonner

Looks allitle better, I would work on the wrist area.

Alberto Rdrgz

basics first man... i'm afraid there's no real shortcut.

kness

Thanks Guys ... : )

Couple of comic guys told me to try to establish a strong silhouette, (which Zaltransis has) which i tried to do with the above pic....

oh, yeah, the wrist, thanks for pointing that out.... :poly142:

then i went backwards (back to the old sculpt) and try to tweak it and get a similar silhouette, as was suggested... this is the result.



This is it for this guy, until my next revisit, .... as i will continue to study anatomy off to the side, always learning.... : )

Nope no short-cuts.... i couldve gone the way of making his arm transitioning to and from pillars of sands, (nothing wrong with that, he is sandman) but instead i opt to listen, learn, practice, and attempt, to scuplt his arm... and hope i make some progress.

speaking of which time to break out the sketch book
