Discarding color for the moment, I dedicate this image to the birthday girl of April 12th. Jaimie in Z-brush, her wall and <3 in Photoshop.

Hi all, first post here so I'll try hard not to embarrass myself too baddly.


First off, Color, I really loved this. I do have a newby question though. Not being really familiar as yet with ZBrush, I would automatically think your work was a photo turned to B&W or greyscale in Photoshop with some background and animation work augmented by Zbrush. Is this the case, or was this drawn totally in Zbrush and I'm feeling even more inadequate than I was before seeing it?

[JABBERWOOKIE]

thats awsome. man, cough up the details, how long did it take? what where the obstacles you came acrose? anything learned from this?

[xompanthy]

Truly amazing work, 10/10, I've seen a lot of artwork on this forum, but this one tops most. The picture is not saying "Look, I'm using MILIONS of polys and it's just so cool!". Art should have a point, like your image has. Truly great. Do I have permission to print it out and show it to a pro photographer i know? He's currently awaiting inspiration, the poor sob... I'm sure he would like to do sth like that with realworld photography... with permission of course...

Ps For a color alchimist it's a task to use any color :lol:

[The Namek]

cool, from the step by step it looked like a vector colored drawing for a moment and then you added "paintery" details. really nice work and to be honest , it seems you havent missed a single detail ...

[jotajota]

:confused:
que elementos son ZBrush???

The person is Zbrush , not 3D tho , painted. If I understand correctly.

Zbrush is an excellent painting program. (memory friendly smudge brush ...)

[Aztec...soljA]

How very delicate and well done...

[Buckie]

Very cool.......................:D

[Baryonix]

Painted completely with Zbrush ? :eek:
That's an amazing work. I don't believe it.

[longhornxtreme]

Amazing... I thought you were just showing off a picture of your girlfriend or something until I saw the .gif...

Stunning !

[50'sKID]

Yes, beautifully painted, and that is a very fast-loading animation. 50.

[roguenroll]

wow nice job I thought it was a processed photo in photoshop.:D :tu:

[Giantsun]

Dude!!! You are now obligated to post every day...;)
Looking at the thumb I went..."oh what a nice 3d model"...looking at the pic I went..."hey thats a photo?!"...looking at the time lapse I went..."wow theres an artist I want to see more of".
Very cool, please post more.

[BokoWar]

impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[color_alchemist]

FIrst off, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you and she liked the image.


Aminuts, that was barely my first post. Maybe my 210th.

I have browsed through the images here recently, and things haven't changed, work just improves as we progress. I haven't the time to make posts like I used to, since I have alot of ongoing projects, but any Z-brush work I create within those projects, I promise to post.

As for details, I hope this sums up all the paintings I'll ever do:

The image took about 3 1/2 hours. It was only 768X1024. I usually paint at higher res to further detailing. I've learnt that Black&white is infinitely easier to achieve photorealism than color.

I start with contour lines, then fill it all in with a colored silhouette(Bay Raitt words). I start smudging the silhouette around till the shape kind of matches. After that, I add shade detail, while smudging at the same time to get things into place. I continue to add more detail and smudge things around till I can longer do this.

edit: xompathy, I thought it would be fine, and checked with her, and she said it was ok for you to print it out as well.:)

::Thanks again.

[xompanthy]

xompathy, I thought it would be fine, and checked with her, and she said it was ok for you to print it out as well.:)
ok, cool. I promise to send you the completed photo when it's done... and if it's done, he's a "misunderstood artist" ;)... I'll go print it out right now...

[wierdPal]

Refreshing to see someone use ZBrush as a paint program for a change. Reminds you what it's all about. :tu:

[aminuts]

Sorry was going by the number of posts listed under your name...I read so many posts everyday, I don't always remember folks.....well that and my inability to remember what I did five minutes ago.

[monstermaker]
