Hi all.

I got a little problem with this image. I started it and got half way down and ran out of Artistit umphhh!. Can you help finish the image?

What I'm looking for is a few people to take the image and find it a large green nose. Then, repost the image with added olfactory equipment and let another artist work on a mouth...and on and on....

Any takers? I made the template 800x1200 so demo users should be able to take part. Anything goes. Please feel free to add parts to the top image if needed eg. Hats, ear-rings, scars...etc...

And maybe some of you landscape Z artists could cut out the finished head and do a nice Alpha-Century style background for it.

Hi Glen
He he
It's the game of "Cadavre Exquis" of the Surrealists at the beginning of 20 Century :D
Pilou
Ps Hum hum Demo users have 640*480 :)
and can't import image :D
But we can play in Zbrush by little details :)
You will add it and colorize :) May be this beardless :)

Hi Glen, it looks to me that you had a completed head but didn't like the look of it.

I tried different shapes for the face. Here are the results. I am working on some more.

Thanks,
Visionary :D

PS: Have a look at my character sketch in the community forum. Feel free to model it if you like it.

Here some more ideas for you Glen.

Enjoy,

Boy do I have some nerve! She who can't model worth a ----- attempts to add to a "Southern" piece of work! :eek:

But I just couldn't not try! So here is a quick add on to the face. (hope I am not insulting your image Glenn.)

Very fun challenge, Southern! :)

Nice work on both your heads, NorthStarr and Vikki. :tu:

I only have a middle-head here:

fun idea Glen. Here is my attempt to be a wannabe :))) You definitely have a hard style to follow, but I tried.

That was so much fun I had to try it again... :D

By the way...nice heads everyone! :D :tu:

Edit:

Hmmm...I didn't read the instructions well enough...
:rolleyes: ...Guess I'll have to try again... :D

[graphinc]

can anyone teach me how to import the Southern's image in my Zbrush to continue it... ?

graphinc, if you have the full version and not the demo you can import the image in zbrush. I don't think the demo allows for this. What I did is take and save his image as a .bmp from this thread. I then went into zbrush and imported the image in the texture panel. I then chose the flat material, then the 3d plane and then clicked on the imported texture and drug the 3d plane to the desired size and scaled it once in place. I then took a 3d sphere and modeled it over the 3d plane to finish modeling the face. I probably would have had better results had I chosen a new layer for the new part of the face, but I didnt. I did put the teeth and a little seen tongue on another layer and sized, modeled and painted them in place. Upon finishing I then simply painted the pieces I modeled. I did a best render to set my lighting and then CTRL B, to bake the image with the first layer selected. I tweaked it a bit more with the simple brush and RGB selected ..no z add or zsub used. I think that covers the bulk of what I did to do my version of Glen's image. Hope this helps. :tu:

[Ron Harris]

ooops.that response duplicated itself..sorry...

[graphinc]

thank you very much Ron
so.. now.. I'll try that and after I'll be able to say "I made half of a Southern"s image" .. very proud ;o)

[graphinc]

So.. here is my picture... sorry for the small size of the image, I didn't have too much time today to play with Zbrush...
hope you like it (and Glen forgive me ;o) )

[s o u t h e r n]

Very cool replies guys, thanks. IT was suggested to me that I post the lighting setup I used for the original image but I didn't save the file i'm afraid.

If anyone else wants to start with the top of the head again, a new differently shaped, textured and lit image then post the light files as well.

Hello. Glen.
I am shikuri.

I imagined this person's mother. Although it thought that it was not helpful to you,
it built with the jesting feeling. :D :D :D

[s o u t h e r n]

Hi Shikuri. I have been a fan of your images for a while now. I really love your SPirits of the dead and Maple images. Keep up the good work.

here is Shikuris "mother" :) during a trip to the mountains.

sorry for spoiling the hair, but all that i once knew about masking in PS i forgot due to z-addiction :D so i had to smudge the reimported version to get rid of too much black edges (after having imported the figure as a transparent texture on a separate layer).

Well I have to give up now (brain froze)...so here is my untextured version (since I'm not having luck right now learning TM) :rolleyes:
