This is based off an insanely good zbrush sculpt by my friend DrillerKiller. I had no idea how to use Zbrush when I did this and still don't have much experience using it for character stuff but i'm trying.

Experimenting with a damage state and some kind of bad/weird textural approach, looked at a few references for a mortar shell and did this. low+poly2+wire.jpg

Hey there and welcome to Polycount! About that shell you posted, here's a little something to help you improve on your texturing http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4678

Enjoy!

spent a few hours today concepting a bust, here's 2 versions

A-Train · Mar 2011

Updated version

A-Train · Mar 2011

Here's my first attempt at a human body. Spent a few hours doing this stylized lady. I started without reference, then later got some reference and here's the result so far.

A-Train · Mar 2011

Some style added, still needs work

A-Train · Apr 2011

Reworked the body. Kept what I felt worked and fixed some overall proportions: made the mid section shorter, as she felt too "gazelle" like! Added some hands, boots, created some eye sockets and popped in some spheres for eyes. Just a bit more polishing on the face, hair and a few tweaks left.

A-Train · Apr 2011

Just bought a new vidaya card, can now get mudbox sculpts up to 16 million. Good timing too, as I've finalized my concept in Sculptris for my "Style Stewardess."

Retopo for the first time is up next.

Mistry10 · Apr 2011

hey bro !
i finally found your thread !
i really like how you flushed out the design, it turned out great man !

A-Train · Apr 2011

Rough block in

EiGHT · Apr 2011

So much flavor to your work man.
I love it,keep it up.

A-Train · May 2011

Thanks Eight

Update (still a few tweaks, but i'll be moving on to the next)

A-Train · Jun 2011

The Diabolical Alien

mishin · Jun 2011

Nice proportions on that last one.

A-Train · Jun 2011

OverMarvelous · Jun 2011

Like your style man. Classsy. Try spend an extra hour or two polishing the alien head ? Its great now but its all medium and large range detail.

A-Train · Jun 2011

Thanks Mishin & OverMarvelous, yeah I've just been focusing on the large and medium forms for now to ensure that the character has a villainous appearance and has a character to him. More to come, he needs a body first. I'm working in Sculptris, so high frequency details will be done later on in (zbrush/mudbox).

A-Train · Jul 2011

Rough blockout of body.

A-Train · Sep 2011

Haven't sculpted for a while now. Here's a copy of a male bust found on google. I liked the proportions and pose. Just some practice. 3 hrs in Sculptris Alpha 6.

1hr fooling around in Sculptris. Been a while.

Daven · Apr 2012

Ha, loving it! You're getting better with each sculpt

A-Train · Apr 2012

Thanks Suburbbum

I'm still hacking away at sculptris doodles.
Your axe was sick man!

A-Train · Apr 2012

Double backed to an older piece. Blocking out landmarks, giving some more definition. Going to continue it; till it's done.
Hands & legs are very WIP.

A-Train · Apr 2012

2 hr sculpt. Anybody else notice some kind of similarity to a young Nick Nolte? So weird.

A-Train · May 2012

I've just been refining the features. You won't be able to tell much difference other than the shader IMO. Thought i'd post anyways.

He definitely is a butler-type character ala David 8 from Prometheus.

A-Train · Jun 2012

Update on Mr.Long Face (brought the mesh into Zbrush) made some jaw line adjustments.

A-Train · Jun 2012

Mostly developed the back

Fronts still rough, WIP.

A-Train · Jul 2012

A-Train · Aug 2012

Hey all, I've been swamped with work for the past while. This update is long overdue, glad to be back at it.

I'm still working on the legs.
Changed a few large proportions in the body, made him beefier.

Armour up next!

MrNinjutsu · Aug 2012

Glad your back on track with the reptile dude! Keep it up bro!

A-Train · Sep 2012

Thx MrNinjutsu! I'll keep at the reptile, just gonna take a lot longer than originally planned

Been busy at work, hopefully get back to it in the next couple of weeks.

Quick blockout in Sculptris. A work in progress, here are two angles.

A-Train · Jan 2013

Hour and a half speedie.

A-Train · Jan 2013

Decided to give the boxer sculpt a body. Worked in Sculptris, still plenty to do.

A-Train · Jan 2013

Friday night speed sculpt. I'll have to get back to this guy later, working on the body for the boxer at the moment.

A-Train · Feb 2013

Brought this thing back from the graveyard. Few clay renders. Still plenty to do, and I can't wait to do a NEW piece...thought it'd be a good idea to finish this off even if it's a few years old.

If anyone has this model of Nail Gun (BN200A) kicking around in their garage. I'd love you long time
to snap some high res pics of it from various angles. Ref on the internet is pretty low res.

A-Train · Apr 2013

3,543 tris - Marmoset

A-Train · Apr 2013

Alismuffin · Apr 2013

Amazing stuff! keep it up.
