    Default Jonathan Sabella | Characters & Creatures

    Hey everyone,
    Thought I'd make a thread I can update more frequently here. I'll be posting some previous work as well as new stuff when I can. Thanks for following, commenting etc.


    You can find my portfolio site and more about me at:

    This first one was created for Mortal Kombat X while I was working for Warner Bros. games. Rendered and sculpted in Zbrush.

    Default Creating an Aged Portrait in Zbrush

    This image is from a course I put together for Digital Tutors. Sculpted and rendered in Zbrush.

    Creating an Aged Portrait in Zbrush discusses and explains human facial anatomy, wrinkle formation and aging. The class endeavors to show how life can be added to any creature or character by showing the story that lives in the lines of their faces.

    For fun, I'm also posting a few images from my personal sketchbooks that correspond to similar topics.

    Default Sculpting Like the Masters in Zbrush

    webhead, aseidart and Takai thank you for your kind words. Takai, I'm very glad that you enjoyed the courses. It has been rewarding to hear from students who have found value in them.

    For those interested in the classes this image is from another course I did called Sculpting Like the Masters in Zbrush.

    Sculpting Like the Masters in Zbrush focuses on teaching students artistic anatomy from head-to-toe while encouraging interest in art history by exposing students to the work of 19th century french academic sculptor Jean-Joseph Perraud.



    If you enjoy anatomy and would like to follow my work, receive occasional tips on sculpting/anatomy as well as get info on potential future courses I plan to offer you can find me on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/JonathanSabellaArt

    Default Chimpanzee Study

    This was a personal project of mine outside of my day to day at ILM. Based on multiple references I created a face with the aim of giving it a feeling of life and expressiveness. In terms of type I ended up leaning a little towards Bonobo. I also wanted to stay to true to elements that typical chimps have such as a dark sclera.
