Sketchbook 2013

ljsketch · Apr 2013

I decided to start a new sketchbook for this year.

My first couple of pieces are some busts I'm working on to better my skills in ZBrush.

Any crits are very welcome.

This is my second time around sculpting Thanos. Much better this time in my opinion. Need more practice sculpting characters though. I have been slacking for the last 2-3 weeks. Sleep taking over...must resist...need coffee.

Thanos finshed...for now. A little Inspiration from A.Fisher.

Man I wish I cold post more stuff up. I have to make a commitment to do so....anyhow...Here's some stuff I been working on lately:

I wanted to sculpt an orc. That's pretty much the premise as to how this image came into fruition. This is a concept from EverQuest. I'd post the artist's name but I can't find it. I may come back to this and model the entire character from the concept.

This is a character I just started blocking in. The concept was created by Darron Smith.

This weekend I got back to Braxis and started blocking in the base meshes over the rough sculpt from the previous post. Still a bit of ways to go with that.

In between Braxis and a contest I was in, I found some time to get away from the pressure and model a toon like character. Some may remember him but I'm starting to notice a lot of people don't. Here's The Noid, Dominoes' old mascot.

Started a new character this week, a female...her name is Iris. It's based off this concept by Splatpixel.

Blocked in some of the clothing for Iris.

more progress on Iris. I'm going to try and do a color pass later today to see how she reads. If i get to it then I'll post that up also. Crits welcome.

Thanks man!

I started working on Iris's pose. I chose to build a rig in maya instead of using transpose master this time around. I find transpose master to be useful for small fixes and such. But I rather not use it for posing because it's so destructive. I'm fairly happy with her so far. I think there's a few things I need fix. more updates coming soon.

calling her done. I'll post a turn around later.
