Very very cool character style.

Hahahaha, wonder what brought that image out?? LOL Love this new addition to your awesome collection.

I like these works a lot. They have a nicely polished look and feel and I could easily see them as fully realized plastic figures.

The finished renders look really nice... I'm just wondering how different your final ZBrush renders look from the actual final pieces after you've done all the photoshop work... cause the renders are immaculate.

I like that you show a lot of range in your style of work (between these and your other creature works). It's refreshing.

I look forward to more!

Hello, thanks for comments.

Hope you like it.

Crisp fine work.

Wow nice work, it's kind of refreshing to see some unrealistic cartooney type characters done in zbrush . I really like Pumkin Man and Marvin they look bad ass.

How very creative works you have there you are one of my favorite artists--love your style man

[PrayingMantis]

your works are pretty cool.
They are cute, but I prefer the robot for the hard edge work (Just for the knowledge, because your toons are so cool, I love the mantis )

How did you do that, I want to know Im trying to do some hard edge work but I got some problem, and you are doing what I want.
Let us know how do you do that great thing.

That would be cool to know how you do those smooth slope, like the smile, the brow and so on.

hey stumpf its perfect....really i like this Toys...Really Lovely toys...

[Peter Pankras]

love your work man!


Do you think you could show us someday a step by step rundowm of how you do the hard-edge style modeling.. for example with that smile but.. that's a great example of showing zbrush is actually capable of hard edge modeling..
I love to give that a shot on a future animation project we're working on..

btw.. do you work for a company or are you a freelancer?

cheers

Hello, thanks for your comments.
Another part of the "Smile Bot" toon
For the technique: I use the whole spectrum of tools in ZBrush.
Masks, alphas and the global deformations tools like inflate, size, offset and
others. I guess the key is to work with high poly counts and with clean masks
and alphas. hope this helps a little.
