Cloudrider's Sketchbook WIP (First Post) (Nudity)

[EricShawn]

Your work has improved greatly! 5 stars.

[Cloudrid3r]

Thanks so much Eric, I am really loving Zbrush and it has really helped me improve as an artist.

Redo on the boots and helmet. Also included a few tweaks, I think I will start the sculpting now.

Here is a quick WIP, stylized male.

[Cloudrid3r]

I have not had much time to sculpt lately so I updated an old model. I had to do some retopology in maya, a process I still find painful but do-able. I may actually complete this character unlike the rest. C&C are always welcome of course. These pinkish renders were done in Modo. Cheers.

This guy is turning out great
The torso area is what I like the most especially the pecs, delts and biceps!

Not sure about the angle of his hands though, think they needs to be straightened out more

I would also tone down the upper area of his thighs

Cheers,

Energise-I agree it was one of the first things I tried to fix this morning.

I also did a little polypainting and more tweaks.

[Cloudrid3r]

Another quick update.

Amazing. I like the anatomy of his upper body. thumbs up

[Cloudrid3r]

Have not updated in a while, mostly because I have been fighting with making the boots. After several iterations however, I ended up constructing the a base mesh for the boots one polygon at a time, just extruding in Maya.

Over all I like how it turned out so far, and it was an instructive experience. I should add that I loosely followed the guide provided by Cedric Seaut, especially on the eyelets of the boots.

The Sword WIP was done rather quickly as a base mesh again to have a solid structure to sculpt on.

you may want to rework your edge loops to get harder edges.

[Cloudrid3r]

soulty~Yep, I might go back in throw some in, I have a work flow down out this point. But I will sculpt a bit in zbrush first and see where I am at, The Pommel has edge loops, but I was not sure if I liked the blade yet.

Quick update, thinking about the new Conan movie.

[Cloudrid3r]

I just started with the new Head tool and pushed and pulled, exported to Maya, de-triangle, retopo-ed, and quick paint job and render.

Here is a shot of a new female I have been working on. This was done from scratch, but I think the body looks very similar to my last female body in this thread. That is probably due to common reference images. Anywho, I am trying to work through the 4R2 features and at the same time improve my anatomy.
Cheers, comments and criticisms are appreciated.
