Hendrik Freuer - Sketchbook 2012

[hendrik F]

Hi there,


I've decided to open a new sketchbook for this year with stuff that I have been working on in the past few months.
Most of the pieces are still WIPs. Hope I can finish them at some point

I'm going to start with a few models that I started at the end of last year, but haven't posted them anywhere, so I thought
I just put them in here as well. I will be posting more and newer sculpts over the next few days.

C&C is very welcome!

thanks for looking

Here is a character that I started during the Creature Design R2 class with Cesar Dacol Jr.




I played around with the plating a little, but have to change it again, cause some areas don't really work...

and this is the low-poly version after retopologizing. tried to optimize it for animation. still have to see if it works

[Braga.3D]

If you want to optimize it for animation you might want to add some edge loops around the knees and elbows.

[hendrik F]

there are edge loops around the knees and elbows!?! Or should I make them tighter?

[Braga.3D]

Nevermind, this was just me being tired last night, these edge loops looks ok

[hendrik F]

hey guys,

here is one that I've actually finished. I named it "Regrowth".
It's also one of the pieces I created during the Creature Design R2 class with Cesar Dacol Jr.

Some Zbrush screen grabs without texture.

And here is a turntable from this model...

For some reason, the floor acted a bit weird when rendering oO

Here is another one that I've been working. It started out during the Creature Design class
where we were supposed to create a dragon. I was looking for reference pictures and found some of sea dragons
that I really liked. So, here what would come out if a dragon and a sea dragon had a baby

still have to work a bit on the wings and give this guy some color...

[Braga.3D]

Nice work on the scales, did you used any specific technic or was it just plain sculpt?

[SwampGhost]

I really enjoy your work. It's technically impressive, but also quite original and singular. I especially love that strange and beautiful sea dragon! Definitely a standout among dragon designs, and the detailing is well done.

I would be very grateful if you shared your method for creating the skin of the wings, which look quite convincing. Nice and thin!

Thanks for sharing.
