Scared Silly Entry by Alonso Varela

[alonso varela]

Hello, I´m alonso varela from Spain, I like to enjoy to Scary contest for fun... (I´m really scared to participate becouse all big ZBrushcentral artist arround this forum/contest/zbtool, but is for fun)... ok here my idea and artwork:

Concept:
Asturias (my spanish state) vision from the Heloween day, we used the apple instead of the pumpkin, the apple is our tipical fruit and the "Trasgu" is our tipical monster like gnomos... soon a pencil finished drawing that I want to make in 3D.

[alonso varela]

[Marsyas]

Nice sketch! I like the apple/pumpkin idea. I agree with your sketch-overs on your model--bigger ears make a nicer silhouette.

[alonso varela]

Thanks! :)

Here some updates.

I think in try different body cloths (here first start try), maybe more present time style... I hoppe like it!.

Hello Alonso,

nice to see you in the contest. I really like your continuously work on the theme.
One point, but it is my personal taste, I find the proportions in the sketch better.
Bigger Head and not so long upper body and shorter legs.

Cheers

Ralf Stumpf

[alonso varela]

Hey Ralf, nice to see you too! :)
Yes I change the proportions a little bit, thanks for your help, here the new picture:

Thanks!

[Rory_L]

Coming on nicely!

You say you don't like the boots. Try to bend the toe ends in towards each other and pull the outside sole edge down to the ground at the heel end of the boot. This should stop the boots looking like they have the instep on the wrong side.

Cheers,

R

[alonso varela]

Ok thanks, I wonna try to see much beter the boots, but change proportions this morning and now see a little bit better... here some face updates:

[animastur]

Está muy bien lo de llevar la idea de la calabaza a la manzana, y te está quedando bien el trasgu. No sé si tienes pensado ponerle algún trisquel o algún dibujo a la camisa... podría quedar bien. También quizá algún anillo, pendiente, etc.. para darle más variedad y riqueza.
Nos quedan pocos días y hay muchos buenos artistas por estos lares... que la suerte esté con nosotros!.... :tu:

[alonso varela]

Gracias señor! ;)

This a "Trasgu" update, (incude the hands).

[Santis]

Looks nice!

[JesseGraffam]

the daylight reflection map doesn't work in a night scene. I'd use a night time reflection map.

[UncleZ]

like the greenish color

[alonso varela]

[alonso varela]

PD: ... the next picture: try to final composite! :)

[hyper1]

I really like the tests you've made in your last picture, but I think you should put out a little more light on the characters face. You've worked so hard on it and it looks really good so show it off. I'm anxious to see your next composite, maybe you'll want to adjust all of your lighting post in Photoshop by rendering in layers. Just some random thoughts. Good luck!

[animastur]

I can see the apple:
