Demonhead WIP [First 3D model]

[VenomBG]

Ok ,so this is my first 3D model ...atleast the first partially complete :P I'm Milan ,I'm 18 years old ,from Bulgaria and i was hoping that my first model would be the project i was last working on (and actually my first try in ZBrush) but it was 1 thing after anothe going wrong untill the model got all messed up and i asked for help to fix it but... i guess there was no easy way to do it Soo I actually started this model by accident today. I was trying to figure out why "Reconstruct Subdiv" wasn't working on my bugged model (that I mentioned previously) and was testing on a ZSphere. Aaaand i guess i got a little carried away with the 'testing' and the head ended up looking like one of my sketches and it was just a matter of hourst to get to the final result. So as I said before this is my FIRST atleast partially complete model and I'm open to suggestions and criticism

your off to a great start! id take a look at demon pictures and other references to get proportions right and stuff like that. id like to see it detailed too. great job!

[VenomBG]

thanks a lot ,I'm gonna get on detailing it in a few days maybe. It'll be my first try at texturing xD

[truthhunter]

awesome is what i say good start there

would love to see it complete with detail and texture nice work

keep em comin as i always say

[VenomBG]

Hey ,thank you too truthhunter. As I said i'll start the detailing and texturing as soon as possible cause i kind of got my head in another model that popped up in my head and I don't think i'll pull off the texturing the way i want it to be ... but i guess i'll give it a try

[VenomBG]

ok ,so I added some skin detail and textured eyes whick turned out to be not so bad actually

Hi Venom.

Good start with the demon head. The trick with z brush is to keep playing with it. Keep exploring the features and set yourself targets. Try the pixologic tutorial vids and set yourself lessons.

thanks ministerart , coming from you that means a lot and that's what i've been doing - watching tuts and learning.

anyway ,here's an update but I don't like how the skin turned out... maybe it needs less saturation and it's very dull... I'll try to fix that later.

[VenomBG]

well , I lost the last subdivision cause I'm stupid ,and thus losing a lot of skin detail but i guess that wuold be it for this head I would be glad for some C&C

Hey Venom...nice first finished model.

Quit worrying about losing levels. Get into the habit of retopologising. Its amazing.

well i actuallt didn't really lose the last subdivision.. i just did something stupd and modelled the last details on the second last (6th) subdiv and when i got bavk to 7 the colors looked awful. So i can fix it but I don't see a reason to do so.. and as for topology... i guess i have to learn it first xD
