Crevasse's Sketchbook

[Crevasse]

Hey there,
I'm a long time watcher and an occasional poster. I love what I've been seeing out of the Zbrush community.
it's so inspirational. I'm finally at the level where I think my work's worth posting and I figure keeping a regular sketchbook will help with consistency.

So this First one I did before 4R2 so no Dynamesh. It's a bust of one of my Friends.


This Ork was a Dynamesh test and I really liked it.


And finally my current project. A Zealot from Starcraft
I've started to get a pretty good workflow using Dynamesh to create the base shapes.
Also used the Curvetube brush for the hair.


I love Zbrush. I started Traditionally Drawing painting etc. then moved on to digital, modelling and stuff but Zbrush has made everything come together.

[Crevasse]

Finished with the Zealot for the moment. Wanna give him a body at some point.
Working on making a Dragon by separating certain parts with subtools.
This is the Head so far.

As always questions and comments welcome.

[Crevasse]

This is the progress on the Dragon.
The head, neck and body are separate subtools.
I've been using Corey Schroeder's new Brush The organic Buildup Brush a lot. It's really good.
Dynamesh is awesome for creating the base shapes but I dont really go that high into the resolution
I like to keep my bases low and work up by subd's


Next I'll be doing the wings and the legs.

Cheers

[Crevasse]

Thanks Man! Glad you like it.


This is where I finished for the night.

Great start to your sketchbook....Love what's going on with the dragon that your working on...
Maybe some bigger deltoid/shoulder muscles and latissismus dorsi/wing muscles...and longer wings also....Just some thoughts that crossed my mind while enjoying your work..
Anyway, hope to see more of your works..

[Crevasse]

Still working on the Dragon

@SpiritDreamer: using your suggestions, gonna make the wings larger and develop the muscles more. thanks.

For tonight I started part of a long term project.
Never worked on a child before. I think it's going pretty well.
Around 6 years old.

Working on proportions and building form with dynamesh.
Criticism welcome as always.

[coreyschroeder]

I think I speak for everyone when I say, where are the new updates?
We all love your work!
Dont keep us on the edge of our seats!

Thanks for the support man.
Been a really busy week for but I have a lot of time off this week so hopefully I'll make up what time I lost.
That is if Skyrim allows me too. Great inspiration for my dragon project though

[Crevasse]

Finally back to making stuff. Felt like giving the organic stuff a break for a day so I start this:

Pretty classic nothing fancy about it but I've wanted to do an Oak Barrel for a long time. Not sure why.
The base was made in Max and I've been using Spotlight to texture along with hand painted stuff.
My plan is to make it into a Low Poly Game Object.

[wethand]

wow! awesome stuff in this thread! big respect.
nice barrel!

[Crevasse]

Thanks man I appreciate the support.

Unfortunately I had a power failure and lost a lot of the barrel but I'm back to where I was.
I'll posted when the low poly is done.

[l-mo]

nice and clean supting ..

[Peter Folke]

Nice sculpting
-well you didn't leave the organic entirely with the barrel

The texture looks very good, but just for the sake of realism, try avoiding wood with knots
- they leak when the wood dries, -so they're no good for barrels
