Sketchbook - rkhansen

RKHansen

Hi All,

I will post some of my scribbles here - feel free to give feedback if you want.

A lot of the sketches are just quickly done - although I might go back to some of them to take them further if I run out of ideas

This first attachment is just a quick ideation sketch for a male toony character.

Hi Amile,

Thank you for your feedback. The nose was a design choice to emphasise it a bit. When/if continuing this speed sculpt, I will probably use the pinch brush more to get a similar feel to other elements of the character (Ie.Hands, ears and detailing)

Here is another toony sculpt that I did today. I am experimenting more with this style as I normally do more realistic things than these.

Another quick ideation sketch, this time a toon styled Astronaut.

Some new stuff I am working on. The idea is a light recon trooper/soldier.



Some quick scribbles about what the character could look like underneath - just chiseling away with the clay brush.

allmighty_thunder

i personally like 5 the best

Caspar

maybe it's just my opinion but I think his neck should be longer. Nice heads though

RKHansen

@Allmighty_Thunder
Me too

@Caspar
Thanks for your feedback

I tried to play around with it - and the main issue just seems to be the actual angle fo the head rather than the length of the neck (in my opinion).



I might dive back into this underlying body a little later to finish it - but am just focusing on getting the armor done at the moment.

Creature speed sculpt and an attempt to pose it into a run pose.

Since I havent really posed things a lot before - I tried to put a scene together of the speed sculpted creature.

I tried to approach it like a gesture drawing, so the anatomy is a bit all over the place - loads to learn

Small extra details added.

That running pose looks really cool! Not so sure about the other pose, though. What movement is it supposed to depict? His right leg is arched backwards to it's limit as if he's just about to do a handspring but his upper body and lower back aren't following the same movement. To me it looks like he's gonna break his lower back very soon. :P

All your other stuff looks great. Cool designs and nice anatomy!

RKHansen

Hi Oscar, thanks for your comments

I definitely agree that the running pose works the best out of the two. The other pose is meant to be a mix of a jump and an attack. I might go in and have a tinker with it

Hey Ras,

Good to see you're posting some work! Some nice stuff, spotted your post on the 'What are you working on' thread and thought it looked like something you or Daz would do!
Keep em coming

RKHansen

Hey Sam,

Thanks for your comment - I thought it was about time I actually started to use my account in here. Had it for ages, but never really posted anything.

I am going to do some more tweaks to that soldier guy, but he is nearing completion - just adding some more detail before I start thinking about the textures.

Done another speed sculpt and pose below - good practice eventhough I am not super happy about this one..I guess that what sketch books are for

After some feedback, I decided to beef-cake up the arms a bit - and give him real hands and fingers instead of the sausages in the old model.

tupwick

The arms look sick now mate! Did you try and raise the belt in the end at all? I like it low slung personally. [Mark Edwards here]

StrongRum

Hey Ras! hows it going? Cool to see you posting some stuff... nice doodles. That last one that you have done, are you going to make a final character from it as it is a concept mesh?

RKHansen

@tupwick

Thanks Mark - it definitely helped with defining them a bit more. He obviously have got a bit more stereotypical - but hey

I just stretched the pelvis a bit and left the belt where it was, but only a little.

@StrongRum
Hi Kavi - good to hear from you I am definitely planning on retopo-ing that last character. Just need a bit more detail in the mesh. I was thinking that the black areas of his clothing were like a wet-suit, but need to put some more folds in, and probably some material noise at the end as well.

After that though - all steam ahead.

RKHansen

Random ideation for toony aliens...

katana

Love your work and the ZBrush sketches just make so much sense! Great stuff.

duncan

hahaha AWESOME. I love those aliens. I would have to say #1 and #10 are my favourites but they ALL have rad stuff going on. Great work.

RKHansen

Hi guys,

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated. I just tried out this other method for getting some silhouettes down quicly and not focus on details too much. I will probably do quite a few more when/if bored

@Duncan - love your Batman

RKHansen

Another thing I have been working on - a Troll.

The human is a standard zb-asset - just there for scale.Currently adding resolution to him so I can add wrinkles and skin detail.

RKHansen

Quick colour and tertiary detail test...might be a bit too fleshy coloured at the moment.

RKHansen

A new design I am working on at the moment - C&C very welcome. Currently working on the horns before going into proper detailing.

RKHansen

Changed the horns.

RKHansen

Update - wrinkles - shader - bulkyness. Cleaning up horns, and will start teeth refinement soon. After all that, a final detail pass.
