Fishy Fishy

Alright here is the mesh retopologized ready for final detailing and sculpting. Took forever, literally, but... got it done and quick paint over so you can see what the heck those spiky things are for.

10/12

Alright well I took couple days off from the daily sculpt.. not by choice!! I was just spending every waking hour, literally trying to retopo my other model, and after like 3 times I finally got it and i will post that in a second. But this is 10/12.

10/9

For the daily sculpt I did a hand study, as you can see I didn't get as far as I would have wanted, the process is a lot slower then faces however, the most I do the better I will get.  So there it is. You can see the base mesh on the left.

Updated Anatomy

Updated Fish Man!!

10/8

Alright so I did another female, and I am happy with it I think its the best female face I have done so far.  And I did a quick little hair test which I thought I would include for kicks, I blurred it out in photoshop because it was just way too "hairy".  But with that being said I decided to expand the daily face sculpt ... into other parts of the body mainly hands / feet.   I feel like I have a good enough grasp in just a week and half of sculpting faces everyday that I would behoove me to start sculpting hands and feet, primarily hands I think.

Malto Meal is way better then Oatmeal!

10/03

Alright, I know doenst look much like the reference but at this point I am focused more on understanding the basic forms of the face and the skull structure under the skin with muscle and fat then actual detail etc. I will work up to that though. :)

Pretty frusterating morning worked almost 3 hours, didnt get near as far as I wanted I just ran out of time, shouldn't be taking this long, but thats ok thats why I am doing one a day.

New Character wip

Here is a sneak peak of the next character I am working on with Cesar Dacol with an online class. Lots of work to be done but you can see the anatomy in progress as I build the foundation

10/1

I woke up at 7:30 this morning to get a good start on all the work I wanted to get done today only to find my tablet was broken.. but whatever, it fixed itself a few hours later and this is todays sculpt. Not much resemblance but there none the less is the reference... going to go work on my other character now!

Soo... I was on Zbrush Central like I am a fair amount, theres so many great artists on there. Its very inspiring to see all the work there. However, on the other hand its in the same way a tad bit discouraging, so many people that do such good work and having to compete with them for jobs is just kinda of an overwhelming thought. Well so I decided that if I woke up a little bit earlier then I usually do I could do one face study a day. And by the time I am done with school it would be have definitely paid off. So I am going to be doing one a day, along with the work here for the class.

So here is one I did this morning in about 2.5 hours. I found a random image and used it as reference / inspiration to create an relative of that person. So hopefully you can see some resemblance or at least inspiration from the reference image.

Male Anatomy Start

Boy Anatomy Study WIP

Boy anatomy study, its actually based off a cartoon character, probably cant recognize him now, but I got to work out a few more anatomy kinks and then ill have clothes on him and you should be able to get see it then!

Alright another update, changed a few parts of the body I gotta a few more tweaks to do to the face and hands then add nails etc / hair. But I am getting closer

Reworked

Another update, working out more bugs, starting to take form.

Revised Again

Alright, revised even more, my boy Kevin Jones over at the Art Institute OC gave me some great feedback that allowed me to see my work a lil differently. With this critique I was able to fix alot of the anatomy issues and I am going to keep working the issues out but this is where it stands for the night. Will post more results later.

Made a few anatomical changes, brought her thumb a little closer to her fingers, gave her a little more butt, and brought her shoulders in a little and up.

Finished Anatomy

Alright, here is another female study I am not quite done yet but I thought I would post the work in progress. You may be wondering if I am obssessed with naked people I am really not haha. But anatomy is very important to understand and recreate so until I feel like I have it down solid I keep doing these studies, each time I do it gets easier and easier and the product looks better.

I am going to keep working on this sculpt and add hair and clothing see how that works!
