Project Brief – Externality 2

January 21, 2019January 21, 2019 markzerop

With this project I would really like to focus on creating work that will bolster my showreel, in particular by creating animation loops and smooth movement that can be used in a video game engine. The practice of movement can be applied to all media but the focus on methods that can be applied to… Continue reading Project Brief – Externality 2

I still have some proportions to work on and the anatomy is not quite there yet but the rough blockout is nearly complete
I've been taking the @flippednormals switching to blender course and I've had a blast going through it and getting to grips with blender. Here's the final render of the mini project that finishes the course. Now I'm looking forward to diving into some mini projects of my own and playing around with some of the other cool features hidden in blender.
Trying to get back into some animation again! I've spent the last couple of days playing around with this inbetween other projects and had a lot of fun with it. Still more to fix up but I thought I'd show what I have so far. Feedback and crits welcome!
a quick zbrush doodle of one of Chiara Bautista's drawings.
More stylised sculpts since that's what people wanted to see 😊. I thought I'd try putting a bit more effort into the presentation with this one and include a song that suits the story. Original art work from @tomwilltell
I made this quickly yesterday as a break from some other work and I was going to wait until closer to Halloween to post it. but since I won't be posting any other work today I'll share it now.
I wanted to do a more ambitious sculpt today but I feel as though I've lost my inspiration. I did manage to get this quick one out though. I struggle with faces a lot still, especially younger faces so I wanted to challenge that by sculpting a female face.
I did a quick sculpt of one of @tomwilltell 's illustration of the woodcutter. The shapes in the designs are beautiful and the feeling of the illustrations are always incredibly moving. This is still a work in progress but I'm running very low on energy to continue so I thought I'd drop it as is.
A gesture study with a sculpt.
I wanted to push outside my comfort zone with today's sculpt. Mainly to make sure I had to use reference instead of making it up as I go. So here's a Chimp! Enjoy
Timelapse of my 45m face sculpt.
I did a quick 45m face sculpt to test out not using the smooth brush in zbrush. Instead using the clay build-up gently to build a smooth form. I'm still a bit heavy handed with it and need to take more time but it definitely makes better results.
Here's today's attempt at the sculpt I lost yesterday. I've called it sooner than I wanted to because I don't think it's quite as good as the one I lost, so I got a little frustrated and wanted to start something fresh.
I spent 9 hours today sculpting over this block out and lost all the work 😔 there was some really nice stuff in there too. So I thought I'd post this anyway and hopefully redo everything tomorrow with a fresh start.
A one hour torso study.
