I feel like it's looking quite cartoony right now. Mostly in the anatomy of the creature, it feels like the feet should be bigger and that the top of the legs should attach to the spine better or more smoothly. I think you should get away from any kind of shiny material when sculpting this, just try to define shapes more…
Irukandji: Mudbox is very basic in terms of painting, there really isn't anything to learn. Its so simple that anyone with photoshop knowledge can Pick it up. Imo Mari doesn't feel as great when it comes to painting Characters/Creature, being able to paint directly in 3d on your Model feels much more satisfying then…
I have to agree with Torch on this. I think a major issue is that you're using someone elses fantasy art as a starting point. While using fantasy art as a reference isn't bad in and of its self, you need to have a strong foundation of anatomy. It feels like you're trying to trace "big muscle-y orc" instead of actually…
ah kinda all over the place right now i probably wont have time to finish this caus there a re a few things I want to try out on this character... also It has been well over 2 years since i did a cute creature warrior..so i think the beastie will have to be on hold. Inspired by the animal dudes from Tera, and Katzeimsack's…
not a velociraptor ;) they've been as tall as a medium sized dog, also one thing to consider is that it's now pretty much proven, that they had feathers, not only them but pretty much all of their speciment, so besides you are doing a fantasy creature i would think it would be pretty badass to do a game version of a…
The fish statue is going to take me a few days at least. Without the textures its a creature model so it will stretch me more than the rest of the scene in the modeling. I decided to take a break on it for a while and spent quite a bit of time on the circular blocks. It took me a long time but I eventually figured out how…
I wouldn't sculpt the hair or either do it in a different sub-tool just for visual reasons. You need to work on your animal anatomy. Look at dogs/lions musculature. I don't see why you are stiffing the tail, you can loosen it like in the concept, the spiral shape. The face looks like a hog than the creature, In concept…
On the verge of the year 2017, an all out art war has erupted! With those who side by the woodland creatures and others boasting with nothing but the tough guys; one champion is gravely needed to rise above all and settle things once and for all. Will fantasy become the ultimate winner with its woodlandiness or will it be…
I wouldn't also just limit your search to purely scifi related things, but I would look into fashion, animals, plants etc that could fit the aesthetic you want or be used as inspiration. So many things in the real world are interesting and serve as a good base to start from. Like deep sea creatures make good aliens, or you…
It's been a busy week. So did not get much time in on Zbrush, but decided to spend a little time trying to acquaint myself with some techniques for re-topologizing in Zbrush. I used my female base model's face as a starting point. Right now I guess the end goal is to be able to do high res sculpts and then have a thorough…
