New Sketch book and Beta

[Framedworld]

Hey guys long time no post With the release of the new version, I was going to simply post my beta images to my original sketchbook thread.

Its a decent thread with of decent work:

But I think its time I moved on to a new sketch blog. Something that I keep for myself and myself alone. I've been very busy and hence as such havent had a lot of time for personal work. This thread is just for me to escape and get away. So like what you like, or not haha. Its not for you :P

Anyway with the release of the new beta came new challenges, and new tools, the one tool I gravitated towards (as seen on the website's page and zclassroom) was the new Qremesher. The idea of automatic and influenced retopology excited me. I wanted to see what I could push and what I could do in a day.

What you are looking at has been rendered in maya, however this character started from a sphere and at NO TIME, was any thing but ZBRUSH used in the modeling, texturing, UVing, retopologizing, etc. of this character

Qremesher


How I got to this point can be summarized by how I did another model of mine for the beta, a male and female from a sphere.

The idea was to start with a simple sphere and dynamesh the crap out of it until it was in the shape of a human male:

I then painted on the curves using the Qremesher brush, what followed was simple amazement

Before and after





and a variation



I then continued the process and roughed in a woman the same way

What follows now is a some new work that I am doing, each obviously not finished, I'm going to attempt to finish a few pieces, but here are some sketches and shtufffff

An old viking WIP





I also did a quick studio render of the original body, just to see what it would look like:







Hawkman WIP








Woman shot in head/Hawkman flies over her (depending on how pissed I am)

Great work man. I love your sense of contrast too! Like the tiny hat on the huge head, for example.

[Framedworld]

Thanks man nice work on your part too. This new sketchbook has been something I've been dreading, but my old one is ridiculously long haha

Couldn't sleep so I did a little work on the old viking, not a ton, but something

I also took my zombie boy render and put it through photoshop:

Great new stuff -> love the alien merchant! Also, superb male anatomy sculpt and polypaint -> came out really beautiful with the QRemesher, such nice lineflow

Cool works! I really like how you did your male and female characters.

[Framedworld]

just a small update on hawkman, more of a concept of what I might want to do with it. Idk If I'm gonna do wings, trying to figure out a decent replacement.

[Framedworld]

Heres a small update on the viking, I don't if I should do the helmet, but I'll have it here for now.

very nice viking! old and tired of war, but still ready for a good fight!

ps: I was scared by zombie boy!

[Framedworld]

@Uber: Thats exactly what I'm going for, and well GOOD :P

So I just did a live sculpt on youtube, and it went well, minus some very poor microphone issues. If you didn't catch it, I did a quick sketch from a sphere:

Which is now a stylized junkie

[Framedworld]

I did two more sketch sessions, each from a sphere, each with two different outcomes. Each took under an hour:
one session had me doing a Banjo Dinosaur from one illustration.









and another was sort of a prehistoric bird
