poda's sketchbook (some nudity)

Hey Poda. I've just looked over your gallery and I have to say WOW! You have a real talent for whipping out a simple scetch and then making something really beautiful out of it. Wish I could do that lol. Great work on all!

Thank you very much Voodoodad! I am trying to get better at finishing and adding polish. But old habits die hard!

Here's another WIP, also prep work for my presentation at the next LA modo Users Group.

I have not transferred this one to modo yet for rendering.

This is the first time I have played with painting Gradients in ZBrush. Fun stuff.

Hope you like her.

Nice! I've never tried the gradient painting mode, but it works really well with this character.

[Diusterios]

you are best!

Thanks. I think the set up is a bit clunky, but it is definitely fun. And I like the outcome.

I have another render where I started to add surface texture but something in my render settings changed after a crash and the render is super dull and dark.

[poda]

you are best!

Was that for me or Voodoodad?

If it was for me, no, you're the best. Thank you for the wonderful support!


If not, oh...

Hi Poda,

Just stumbled over your fantastic thread.

There`s so much outstanding work for me here to explore!

Thanks for posting.

Good to see more Podagraphs! Love'n'em!

Mr. Rupert - thank you for the very kind words. I am overjoyed hearing how much you like my work.

Mr. Whisky - always happy to have your support!

For those who are interested in modo renders, here's something I did not too long ago. I was really happy with how well the sculpt detail transferred via GoZ.

I started this as preparation for my LA modo User Group presentation this Saturday. But I got a bit carried away and focused more on the sculpt than what I plan to present.

Dynamesh, Polypoint and transpose master. BPR render with minor Photoshop tweaks.

I hope you like it.

[poda]

Hmm, I thought surely I'd posted these. But nope...

Color piece was a speed sculpt I did, live sculpting at the last Infusion Project show I participated in at Stingaree in San Diego.


A friend of mine liked it and asked me if he could use it for a pilot he is prepping for a pitch. Here's the update I submitted to him.

Hope you like her too!
