Feisty Pariah - Scuplted and PolyPainted

Concept art. I did not concept the Feisty Pariah.

Sculpted and polypainted in Zbrush. Jaw open.

Jaw closed.

Still a work in progress. I am now going to retopo, bake, and place in some sort of environment.

Software:

Zbrush 4r6

Masks

I made masks. Um, that is all *smile*.

Working some switch designs.

Nothing fancy, just some thumbnails of switch ideas for a project.

WIP: More wood texruring.

Between being a full time dad and texturing and modeling, I did two more. Getting a hang of this texturing thing. I am having tons of fun with this. Enjoy!

I am also trying out a new plugin for Photoshop that fixes a lot of Adobe's brush issues that seem to have stuck around since, oh I don't know, the creation of the software. And it works great! See link below:

I have yet to buy a copy, but it's promising.

What is to come! Hand Painted Wood End!

After doing some research on wood floors I found some interesting photos of wood ends used as flooring. After more research on how to do such a thing hand painted, I had to figure it out on my own. What you see is what I completed. Now just gotta do a little more and tile it. *smiles*

WIP: Wood Cube Texturing

I saw this really neat cube texture sheet from this really amazing artist....wait right there let me find it......

....and after much searching, found it.....

Pretty inspiring! Now I know what you are saying, and I know my wood texture is no where near that quality of work, but hey with more practice you never know. Oh and to note, while looking on Pintrest, and seeing all of those awesome textures, I got both discouraged and inspired. I have a long ways to go. *smile*

Texturing things....

I started with the colors seen above and then adjusted the wood colors after.

I've been sculpting and modeling so much that I haven't been working on the one thing I am weak at, texturing. I am trying to strengthen my hand painting skills for texturing. Maybe I'll do textures like this everyday, wood, rock, stone, etc. We'll see how it works. But regardless I need to hammer texturing out and get better. Any critiques and suggestions, help, whatever you can dish out at me is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Did gesture drawings...

...then did some hand studies. *smile*

Back to 3D...

I've done a lot of 2D work, mostly to stay sharp with Photoshop. It's been fun, now it's time to get back to 3D. *smile* Will post soon.

Cleaned up

Cleaned up the artist study drawing. Not the same style of the artist, just stepped back and added color.

Drawing in Photoshop...

Just having some drawing fun. Fast and gestural.

Couldn't resist....

I couldn't resist. Aurora got some turkey this morning and she ran as fast as she could. And for those that have kids, you can totally relate. *smile* Oh, and yes it was the drumstick of the turkey.

A little drawing in Photoshop...

There was something appealing about Shawn Byous illustration style, so I drew from it, changing things here and there. It was fun *smile*.
