Halloween Gallery 2004

[Pixolator]

Hallowen.jpg

It's time once again for the Halloween Gallery!

Now that the Mac version is here and everyone can participate on the

same footing, it's time to have our traditional Halloween fun here at ZBC!

Post your scary, ghoulish, haunting ZBrush images in this thread and we'll post

them in the Halloween Gallery at ZBrush.com, beginning October 27.

It's your chance to s c a r e people
with the power of your imagination and Z2!!!


We'll post one ZBrush image per artist. You may post WIP's in this thread, but let us know which image is your final submission by writing [Gallery Entry] under the image.

We are encouraging all entries to be 100% ZBrush. If you choose to use other software as well as ZBrush, the image must be primarily ZBrush-created and the post containing the image should clearly state the role that ZBrush played in its creation.

[abxy]

YES YES YES! this will be magnificent :D can't wait till this thread gets hot! :D
We're gonna see great work this year Pix.

jotajota, that's an awesome image. wish you'd make the shading a bit stronger, but its still really sweet.

Everything you see here was primarily created with Z-Brush. With the Punkinhead body, I started with a very simple character in MAX and added lots of detail in Z. The MAX character is so rough, but it was helpful for getting the form (and fingers) underway without too much fuss. The Punkinhead is entirely Z-Brush created from a sphere.

The texturing is all Z-Brush too (G Tiles). G Tiles are a great way to do quick and dirty textures without fussing with UV's. I've posted this in the creature challenge and it's own thread but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to post it in a Halloween thread! ;) So, sorry about the repeats.

Happy Halloweeeeeeeen muhahahahahahaa!!!!:lol:

Okay, I'm jumping right into this one. This is my 4th Halloween picture, and as much as I like a couple of the others, I wanted something new, and this one says it all. Happy Zalloween, Everyone! Very slight postwork. 50.

[sirquadalot]

Off to think about this years image.:D :evil: :D :evil: :D :evil: Hopefully It should be much better than my two previous ones. :rolleyes: ;)

Here they are for anyone interested.

http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=9995&page=7&pp=15

They are near the bottom of the seventh page.

[50'sKID]

Fouad, that is a great scene you've got going, a nicely dented pumpkin and some great hands.

Jotajota, at first glance I thought it was the Golem looking out of the bushes, then I realized those are not LEAVES. Nicely done.

And Dan 's Pumpkinhead can't be beat. 50.

[Polaris30]

Here is my contribution.

I used a head starter from Wings 3D that I had sitting around. Then I pushed and pulled a bit in Zbrush, and painted it. The eyes I made custom for this model in Zbrush.

Vampire.jpg (javascript:zb_insimg('1935','Vampire.jpg',1,0))

Happy Halloween everyone.

[Dan-Burke]

50's, nice work on the pumpkin..did you model all of this in Z? Nice work with the inside lighting and such! I may re-do my Punkinhead to have an actual interior, but I started with a sphere when I was learning Z-Brush and didn't know how to do that! Haha.

Polaris..scary demon head! I like the shader...I'd try and add some more detail even...see how far you can push it! Keep up the good work. ;)

Good job. :tu:

I'll post another creature I made since it's relevant to this thread even though it's also in the main section.

Update Below. Still working on it but here's what I have so far. ;)

[Dan-Burke]

Ron, that's awesome! Great lighting too. Did you use multi-marker for all those objects? Was it textured in Z-Brush? Nice use of Z-Spheres. :tu:

[50'sKID]

Hi Polaris, nice Ghoul-Vampire thing. :D

Hi Dan, the cutouts were Alpha 3d's placed with Zcutt on and the pumpkin material, then I brought up the markered pumpkin, shrank it a bit and used the glow material. I also used a couple point lights in the cutout areas.
That is a powerfull gargoyle. Reminds me of the Devil Dogs from Ghostbusters. Hope to see more.

Ron,......I don't have the right adjectives for this one. Fantastic kinda falls short. Great concept, pose, modeling, etc, etc. etc. :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: !!!!!!!!! 50.

This thread gets better and better! 50.

[Jason Belec]

Everyone - great work!

Ron - that is just freaky!

[ron m]

thanks guys
dan - its all zbrush except for messing a little with levels in photoshop -
i didnt bother multi-markering everything-
just assembled all the bits for the shot.
thanks for the comments.

[AdamT]

Brilliant Ron! :tu: :tu:

You should try to sell that to a greeting card company.

[aminuts]

Great image Ron! I love her expression. I believe I had the same expression on my face when I first got my Harley!:D

[ZB_Artist]

ron,

You outdid yourself on this one.
Brilliant!

[osamu]

Ron M, very funny I love this pic! :tu:

[50'sKID]

Greetings, Fouad, This is coming along very nicely. That is a marvelous head, but I can't imagine what the ladder is for. Truly, you are a Zmaster. 50.

[mycroft]

Love the whole image Ron M. At first I thought the witch was laughing because she was riding the broomstick with a bare arse.

[50'sKID]

Greetings, everyone. Well, I decided to do one more Halloween picture, it's such a fun visual Holiday. Inspired by Nick Parks' 'Feathers Mcgraw' from Wallace and Grommit. That's all for now. 50. I love that scarecrow pick by the way, mycroft.

[Jason Belec]

Hey 50, not bad, you found one of those elusive little buggers! I thought I'd staked and eaten the last one. MMMMmmmmmm. Tastes like chicken. :confused:

[50'sKID]

You got a chuckle out of me Jason. :lol: 50.

Ron, great update to a fantastic image!

Leo, lots of detail there...I'm enjoying your gallery of work and like the eyes, mask idea and stitching detail on this one. I also liked your other piece, 'Driving School'.

[Aztec...soljA]

As expected you show a real high reality in all your pictures.
Great picture and post. :b3: Happy Halloween All! :b3:

[Ron Harris]

Well I have worked this special head for a few days for this years gallery entry...the steps are shown on the other main gallery thread....

1. The zombie was 100 percent pure Z2
2. Used psp to composite the head, the photo of the moon, and add the text.

I am going to use this on invites to my Halloween Party/Son's Birthday party for this next week also....Feel free to use it as a card if you wish.

[sirquadalot]

Thank you.

[mmbenya]

Hey there, I thought I would post this in here as well. If you have seen the movie then you know it is truly scary (i.e. bad). :lol: Modeling, set-up, rendering in ZBrush, post work in PhotoShop and Painter.

--As the kids in their outfits waited at the door --a man in the best costume anyone had ever seen came to the door dragging a white sheet..."Trick or Treat?? "---- he said--- "Just a minute kids I'm sure there's something sweet in these drawers.." He chuckled under his breath...how could the children not have noticed they were on the front steps of the County Morgue??.....mmmm hhhu HHHAAAA wwhaaa HAAAA HAAAAAA !!

This is 100% ZBrush modeling and lighting--but the various light angles and renders are resampled into a GIF animator to get the "Animated" light image the 'Gallery still' Is just one of the renders that didn't require 'touch ups' (wire smoothing etc) in Painter or such, and that had a unique Halloween look to it !~

Good to see you robo! Hope all is well! I love your animation!


Aurick...Is this gallery going to be posted on Pixologic's website again? I have not heard any notices like...you have one day to post your image to be included in the gallery...etc..I'm almost finished with my submition. A heads up would be appreciated.

I like the UFO and space man, light effect is so outstanding....:tu: :tu:

Wow ! Great render and lightening on this last one !! Great modeling btw ! :tu: :tu:

[Kircho]

Maybe a warning is install on that image PusGhetty, I could imagine recieving nightmares from such an image in my early days:)..I'll tell you tomorrow if "such an image" can still give me nightmare:)hehe

Well done, exellent texturing..and what a concept..very discusting
thanks for the eye candy! Really enjoy that work.

Also I think you've done it, I'm going to have to make one my self, good work PusGhetty!!:p

Cheers

[PusGhetty]

Thank you Jean Sebastien! It's great to get a compliment from one who's works I admire greatly!
You too Kircho... ditto exactly what I said to Strike! Thanks man!
Best regards,

[sirquadalot]

Way to go PusGhetty I was hoping you make it! I love it! My submition will be in soon.

[vlad74]

Hi Michael,

[sirquadalot]

Better late than never... at least it's not Halloween here yet! Well, what can I say...I ran out of time. Due to the heavy jpeg compression, I am forced to show this image at 1/4th it's size. Many fine details have been lost, but it's better than looking at the compression artifacts. I hope you enjoy. 121 is welcome in this thread.

It might be done by next year.

[Taron]

Thanx, Atwooki! :D
It's been a while since I've made some real quicky creatures for the sake of the creature itself. Halloween is just too good a topic. Very inspiring time.
I looked at the work here on the forum now for the first time yesterday and I feel very humbled. A lot of fantastic work you guys are doing here! Congratulations to everyone and it feels like a wonderful challenge to live up to your standarts. I mean it! I particularely love the variety of styles at that level of skill and imagination. Great, great, great!

Time to carve the real pumpkins now....very later, but better late than never!

Hello everyone. This is my very first post here. I made this dragon from Pixolator's great Zsphere model. As a new Zbrush user I learned a lot from it. Thanks for sharing the model. I hope this dragon is scary enough for Halloween.
