SNAKEUUUUUU!

Made this tonight:

This was very fun for me, it reinforced the confidence in my strokes and let me be a bit more reckless than usual. I think it pays off, and this is definitely something I will do more of. :)
edit:
oh and orc update soon, I started doing a paint over armour design as if I stay with the body i wont get anything done, I'll keep going in circles! It's going well, I think it's gonna be pretty fun. :)

Hey there Stranger

Made this guy tonight, quite fun, heh, was gonna colour it but it looks creepy enough like this. :)

Are paintovers a form of procrastination?

The answer is... yes. D:

And its barely even a paintover, lol.

Well i decided to stick with this guy, i need to be a bit more care free. :)

Not a lot of changes, more bulk around the neck and a bit more srs bsns in the face.

Juggling this, the orc and a bunch of 2d stuff atm, which i'd show if i bothered to get anything to a clean readable state before getting bored. :P

Pidgey Lee Jones

I dont know why, but every time i look at the Tommy Lee Jones meme from no country for old men, i imagine a pigeon in his place.

so i drew dat (Also wanted a fun little image for the header maybe)

9th march edit:

probably not enough for a new post but also did this little sketch for a birthday. :)

Not a whole lot to show, bouncing between 3 things atm, This orc, a painting (which i'll show soon ish) and a fun little sculpey animal. I've found it helps keep me productive to swap to another medium when my attention starts to slip. :)

So yeah, no huge progress, just trotting along!

9th march edit:
updated pic as i havent made any real progress just merged the meshes together last night and gave him a neck. (lol) still needs cleanup overall but..

I just started converting all the dynamesh to proper topology, cleaning up zremesher results, hence max ^

For Fish and Glory!

Working on this atm, bit more to do but may as well get a update in this week. :) This was fun, im finally used to square brushes now and adjusting my brush flow for buildup.

Also started on another painting that I think will be pretty exciting but still blocking things out, gotta do it properly this time!

I didn't do much today, although i did come back to my orc before bed and started to clean up some of the upper body and face, also started defining the leg muscles (something i need to practice more often) getting my bearings now, just gotta clean up some more and then I'll figure out a simple armour design. :)

So yeah it doesn't look like much progress but hey, heh. :)

Forgotten character(s)!

I forgot about this guy! made the model for a couple friends' game as a test, unfortunately didn't go anywhere for now so I'll throw it on here. :)

Edit: And how could I forget about the Huntress model I made ages ago. Poop high poly but I think it turned out looking nice, If anything I'll leave it here as motivation to finish and texture another personal character, it's been too long. :)

Studies

I will be doing a bunch of studies, and will update this post with what i end up doing, spending like an hour or so for each. :) need to read shapes more accurately

What an odd thing to follow up that sketch, but here's what I did tonight. :)

Fun and stupid, one or the other. :)

Sketch before bed

Girls are awesome

Sculpted this fella tonight and did a little paintover (probably shouldve spent that time actually refining the sculpt :) )

Fun fun. Will see if it goes anywhere (i feel like i say this a lot and never touch things again.)

Gobbo the Gaaawblin

"Oh yeaaah!? Well big freakin' whoop buddy I got gaawblin things ta do, so SCRAM!"

Didnt finish the bust, got distracted by this, super early but a fun little goblin bust i've started, to get into super sculpey. A lot to learn. :)

EDIT2: update:

Work in progress head study, a lot to do but shaping up, will also be playing with BPR render passes and compositing in photoshop, should do it more often.

Will hopefully finish this tomorrow or the next day.

edit: update, where i'm at:

Old image:

"Are you so eager to meet death?"

"Look then upon the countless faces of your demise!"

I made and have continued to make a lot of mistakes with this, and I have learnt an enormous deal, I dont think the result is that great but im quite proud regardless and enjoyed it immensely. It changed a lot of my sketching habits, my workflow and taught me to be more aware of layering whilst painting.

Next should be super fun (probably way way simpler too, heh)

But for the mean time, I got some sculpts to catch up on. :)

Ahhhhhh, cant go a month without posting something, even if it was over christmas,
Well here's a quick scribble from tonight then, nothing special,

although I am finishing up a painting ive been working on for a while now, which has been super fun. I'll leave it til its done to post though! :D

Edit:

Put painting in new post :)

Tonight's sculpt, wanted to do more than a bust this time, still lacking in asymmetry and medium scale details, I seem to be avoiding it entirely so i can get in and detail shit up, I think i'll do some simpler things later so i focus more on gestures. :)

Overall though, quite happy with this, the ears are stupidly large and in a weird place, i wish i fixed that but oh well.

Also may as well dump this here, i didn't get all that far with the Trader as you can see, but I'll be changing him to a turtle (and much of the design will obviously be changed to fit) when I get back onto it. So here is the last pic i took of it quite a while back for, I dunno, 'logging purposes'

Sleep time!

Missed a day from being ill and shit, NoOooOOooO. Will have to catch up with an extra one, but here is tonights. Really didnt have a lot of time with this as i got home quite late, but I quite like it, obviously some inspiration (ok, a lot) from the Monkey king. :)

Didn't get around to polishing the hair much, again this looks like another thing i might want to come back to at a later date... and maybe that's the good thing about doing these quick sculpts... will have to see, as usual there's a hundred and one things I'd like to do but i lose energy so quickly.

Tonights sculpt,

Didnt really have the time to sculpt some hair (would have prefered to do something a bit more stylized but just threw in some fibermesh, ah well)

But I'm quite happy with it, again, i need to do more expressions and more assymetry, tonight i was lazier that normal due to a very distracting cold/flu :P

Another Demony thing, not too happy with this one, couldve had some clearer forms, might clean it up a bit at a later date.

Note to self, more asymmetry.

More Creature work! Had more time on this one (although I did lose the first iteration from a zbrush crash, thanks Obama)

Going to try and do one a day for the next week. :) (Emphasis on 'try')

Demon

Been too long, should update more,

Speed sculpt (about an hour or so) of a demon thing tonight, may clean it up and do some more with it.

note to self, make more demons

A sketch tonight of our old springer, Jack

Busts!

did a little tweak work on a head tonight from something I started a while back.

Started on the Trader high poly, something full worth showing soon ish maybe!? A small and silly shot of the head in the mean time :p

I think this guy will be super fun with fibermesh...or super terrifying. D:

Time for me to get shit done!
