Hey EZRA52, long time no talk- Sorry, been out (was in the hospital for over a week, now at home resting for a few more-had pancreiteze-however you spell it- and had my galbladder removed. Ya, real nasty, was even told by the doc's that it can kill if not taken care of. But, I am out of danger now). Anywho, glad you dropped by again. I really like how your Honda bike turned out, very, very close to the original concept and most amazing... you did it ALL IN ZBRUSH! Kudos my friend.

Interu2x, thanks a million for dropping by. I highly appreciate your comment.

Oh, I forgot to put that this is just a WIP... oops.

Haha ! Love the shape of this one ! and the attitude aswell.
Can't wait to see more

Hey Guedin, thanks a million for coming by. Now you see why I love what your creating over at your thread- I am glad you picked out the 'shape', as you can tell, trying to go for that cartoon look. As I am creating this piece, I am thinking Frazetta meets Disney...kinda. Hope it comes out right. Best, Dragon.

WIP!! 'The Mayan' sculpt. Just working on the overall structure of 'my Mayan'. Hope you all like it so far.

Very cool Jaguar. Should be a great image. You nailed the Jaguar. I'm really enjoying seeing more toonish (is that a word) work lately.

Glad to see Big Daddy Roth is still appreciated. In fact I have a bunch of reference material and was thinking of doing a Rat Fink image soon also. That would be a great way to get a handle on hard surface modeling in the newest ZBrush.

Rat Fink stuff was very big when I was a teen. Oops, I'm giving out my age

Hope you took a look at Big Daddy's work. I must have done dozens of them doodling as a kid and in art classes in the 1960's. I'm rambling again. I wonder if there are still many of the old posters around. Long live Kustom Kulture.

Hi Blaine, great to see you in these parts- Thank you very much for the cool comments. I had a heck of a time trying to understand the Jaguar's anatomy. I own the book 'Cyclopedia Anatomicae' by Gyorgy Feher and Illustrated by Andras Szunyoghy, the book has excellent 'big cat' anatomy, but does not cover it from every angle etc. Spent many, many hours on the net looking at Jaguars in different positions and even then, it still was not enough info. So, much of my sculpting was guess work. Sooo, your comment is very welcoming... thanks a million.

Ya, big Daddy Roth rules! You and I are probably around the same age, I too grew up drawing all those Rat Fink images. What a great time right?

I do love my 'toonish' stuff as well (love creating it, as well as viewing it from other artists).

Yes, long live Kustom Kulture-


On a last note, viewed your work, your really good with ZB. Would love to see more from you as well my friend. Best, Dragon.

WIP

Hello everyone. Here I am with an update on my 'THE MAYAN' sculpt. Still working on THE MAYAN i.e. head, hands, feet, body, etc. I will be making a base, weapon, etc. C&C welcomed... PLEASE-

[patokali]

[Dragon]

[blueferret]

Thank you for the kind comments. On the workflow, hope it helps someone (I always do thumbnails of course to final concept drawing, but, I have to tell you, the sculpting workflow is not my own, but 'AKZE's' method. So I have to thank him for the dynamesh to Sub-D method.)

I have always had this 'style' since I was in high school. Now, just applying it to my 3D sculpting.

Again, thanks a million for coming by.

Guilty as charged. I've not posted much at all and that was years ago. I need to get my act together and start finishing something. I got sidetracked when I decided I needed to learn in other software first to do this right.

[Dragon]

Ah, I know you will get to 'cooking' something real soon. Best.
