Zbrush Sculpt

It's finally finished! After spending the better part of my spare time this summer teaching myself Zbrush, I've finally finished my first Character Model Sculpt. It was a really difficult transition, having only used Autodesk's Maya for 3D work in the past, but it was well worth the effort. Zbrush is amazing, once you get the hang of it! I had a lot of fun and I'm really happy with how it came out:

I'm hoping to create a couple posed versions of this character and render a turntable video to put in my Web Portfolio soon.

Another Version

I'm still working on the Zbrush sculpt, but I'll post it soon.

Character Design

I have so much respect for character designers, it's a much more difficult undertaking than most artists would think. Just trying to come up with original shapes and faces is hard enough, and when you add to that, trying to create shapes and forms that embody a specific personality and that will still be animation-friendly, you quickly see how complex and challenging the task is. I'm still just scratching the surface.

In a Western Mood

I'm  feeling in a bit of a western mood this week, so I just went with it. This guy turned out looking a bit like Lee Van Cleef, one of the great Western Film villains of all time. It wasn't intentional, it was something I just noticed, when I was finished with the sketch.
