The stalker and the way you rendered it is very cool.
I really like all those ornaments you place on weapons and armour of your sculpts. Very good work.

Bro,
U have to show me how to get that renders in zbrush man...would love if you u wuld share some knowledge and also the max render its amazing...care to share some tips and tricks...

[AJenkins]

For people just starting out in zBrush where the frustration of knowning so little about such an awesome tool, this thread is a great roadmap of progression.

Huge inspiration man from start to finish, keep up the good work, and ill have to go pick up zAnimator and check it out.

Oh man, I really, really love the stalker. By far my favorite model you've done. I'd like to see that thing move.

Thanks guys!

Sorry haven't been around in a while had so much (non-art related) work on my hands plus 3 week vacation abroad with no net..

Thanks for support! I hope to return soon and create more art and finish my reel. Problem is I'm doing same for my Computer Science work =S

@neozerahan, when I get time bro =) ! But check out the Ryan Kinglsien Gnomon DVD on photoreal clay rendering if you can, I would advise that and I use those methods

Cheers!

Hey guys

Long time no postUnfort
unately I wasnt able to finish this character for DW5

But I will add him to my sketchbook anyhow. This is the first time I play with ZB4R2 for rendering with lightcap/wax/shaders etc. Big improvement to rendering it has.

Hope you like. Here is front angle for now:
P.S. For back angle I added an additional piece of armor on back, had that piece hidden on front angles

This work is just amazing .... everything could be top row IMHO! I can't wait to see more.

Waxshader is the new black! Or should I say AO! Looks great, good job!

[SolidSnakexxx]

The new model's pure awesome. Great piece!

[soulty666]

really nice. character has a nice overall shape. Would be nice to see him posed. You have some great models in your thread

[Darukin]

Heya
Thanks guys much appreciated! Yeah the wax shader is really cool!

@overmind: Yeah this work is definitely inspired by protoss, namely templars =)

[Darukin]

Great work, seriusly!!
Did you do the "scales" of the skin with alpha or manually?

[Nattawat_OBBI]
