Hey Moni! Just droppin' by to say hi! Well, actually I'm looking forward to seeing your next concepts/sculpts, hopefully you have some spare time to do some ZBrushin' (I'm not posting much right now, because -for once-I would like to finish the stuff I'm working on before posting... )

Oh, and isn't this the biggest coincidence... my 2000th post on ZBC happens to be this one in your thread .

[Moni-Poroni]

Lucky_1: Thanks a lot, Lucky. I always appreciate honesty. I dediced that I leave her like that and move on with other stuff. But I`ll incorporate your critique next time when I`m working on an old person or creature. Thanks again for the helpful critique.
Btw, what do you mean by "ressurectionists" ?
I have no idea what that means.
OlirO: I`m glad you found the shaders in the meanwhile.
Now I`m looking forward to seeing lots of new stuff in your sketchbook soon!
Etcher: Geeeeeeeert! Now it was YOUR fault. If this was accidental I`m afraid It`ll never ever stop. Hahahah.
Regarding my stuff -- I`m working on the alien. I retopologized the mesh. Now I need a pose .. and some cool accesoirs.
Other than that I`m going to enter a new contest on cghub. On Tuesday I have already built the base mesh with Zspheres and Zsketch.. and started to retopologize it then (not done yet). I don`t think it`s a problem to sculpt on the Zsketch model/Unified skin mesh, but I need to practise the topo stuff and for that reason I use every opportunity to do so.
Other than that I`m working on my hp. It`s looking good so far (still needs more work) but I have no idea how to upload it to the server. Well... I know how it works.. and normally it should work.. but.. you know.. the good old PC devil. I also need to figure out how to integrate a blog.
Yep. The balloon-head is getting bigger and bigger.
Thanks for dropping by!
I can`t wait to see your update. It`ll be fantastic, that`s for sure.

I was afraid that my critics may sound a little harsh,
so I'm glad your not mad

ressurectionists is the name of a cd/titel by a german band(?) but I really don't know where I got it (google?) (I thought you used it as inspiration/reference)

Lucky_1: No worries because of the crit and the pic.
That`s nothing what makes me mad.
Regarding the image ... I have used another pic and to be honest, I don`t know this music group. I guess it`s not my music taste.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I`ve entered a contest at CGHUB. It`s called "Production Challenge". You can read more about it HERE
The concept is pre-determined.
Usually I prefer modeling my own stuff, but the concept by Adrien Smith is awesome and I like the idea behind this contest.
All the participants have to model the same and I think that`s very interesting and very challenging.

I`ve built the basemesh with Zspheres/Zsketch and then I retopologized the mesh.
Here are some images





Now I can start sculpting.

good luck with the production Challenge Moni it looks fun

[Santis]

Ooh, a new update
Good luck, looks like a great start

[Lucky_1]

Hi Moni,
I don't like their music either
I removed the picture anyway.

Great start on the new sculpture for the contest !
Good luck and have fun.

[Moni-Poroni]

Intervain: Magda, thanks a lot!
Santis: Hey Santis! Thank you very much. I just saw your 3D print. Congrats.
Lucky_1: Thanks a lot, Lucky! Btw, I searched for the resurrectionists on youtube. Terr... I mean.. tastes differ, that`s for sure.

Edit: Terrible.. not terrific *LOL*

Hey Moni, I checked out the contest at CGHub, seems like a great idea and an awesome learning opportunity! Your Zsphere start and retopo work looks good, looking forward to seeing where you take this one .

[Moni-Poroni]

Etcher: Thank you very much! I agree with you, that`s an awesome learning opportunity. I hope that I`ve practised enough with the hard surface brushes during the last weeks. Uh-oh.
