Scared Silly Entry by Geoff Priest

[Slosh]

You are really making progress on this, Marsyas. I love all the detail!

[Rory_L]

I too love this image. I like the Lego-esque styling.

Have you tried a composition where the creature has turned its head to face the witch and is looming over her a bit more? It might raise the suspense a touch.

Cheers,

R

Finally getting to the fun stuff--Sculpting!

Starting on the 'Horsehead' ghoul, much more work to go:



Disco Stu: Thank you! I wanted to discipline myself, blocking everything in first.

piz: Thank you!

Slosh: Thanks! Finally getting to the real detail...

Rory_L: Thank you! You're right--I've only blocked things in at the moment, final poses yet to come.

[piz]

Very well done Marsyas! I can't wait! I want see the continuation...

[animastur]

Very good work, and very instructive. Good work of zspheres in the book.

What are those sticks hanging from the eyes? is that to help point them?

[Marsyas]

More work on Mr. Happy...

I'm trying to decide how much detail I want to add... I can easily foresee this guy taking too much time...



Btw, he's supposed to look sorta 'happy' rather than menacing--though the witch is afraid of him, he thinks the witch is his mother...

piz: Thanks, piz!

animastur: Thank you!

dustbin1_uk: Those sticks are actually just extra mesh for later on--one of his eyes will be dangling out... I made a little zscript in Z2 awhile back which shows how you can pose zsphere eyes, though: http://209.132.96.165/zbc/showthread...365#post303365 ...dunno if it'll work in Z3...

[Marsyas]

Work on his hands a lot: (too much...)

At least I'll have learned a lot about skeletal anatomy in case I don't finish on time.

[piz]

Another very good reference in my personal Marsyas folder!

[dustbin1_uk]

Hahah! I just ran that script and it made a knotted mess of zsheres on the screen. Still I'll check out the rest of that thread to see what to do.

[Marsyas]

More work on Horsey...

I sculpted a 'normal' proportioned pelvis then stylized it to fit the character. Vertebrae are also more complex than I made but I'm omitting/stylizing stuff. Especially stuff that won't be seen.



piz: Thanks! Just don't use it as 'accurate' reference.

dustbin1_uk: Doh! I can try to remake it in Z3...

[piz]

Insane quantity of work here! Very nice!

[stumpf]

I like this thread. Great use of zSphere's and clean modeling
and also a good presentation. Keep it up.

Cheers

Amazingly clean model Marsyas, I'm impressed.

Blimey! You're reinventing the anatomy class over here! Great stuff, keep it up.
