Watched some inspiring timelapse vids on youtube and roughed this guy out in almost an hour. Sculpted and rendered in ZBrush, composited in Photoshop Elements. Enjoy!

Hello again! Did this over the course of a couple hours for a friend of mine who’s pet pug’s name is… Pug! Haha.



Time Lapse

Hey, y’all!

Soooo wasn’t quite sure how to post this on here without accidentally spoiling the Super 8 movie for anyone. I’m hoping it doesn’t.

Anywho, this is my rendition of the Super 8 alien (nicknamed by JJ and the crew, “Cooper”). No references, simply working from memory of seeing it only once. So it’s probably off quite a bit.

Used the generic head included in Scott Spenser’s Character Creation book. Practice on form. Comments/critiques welcome!

Here’s an updated render of the previous alien used with the rendering settings shared by a user on this site (I wish I could remember the name…). Anywho, many thanks!

Hello!
Finally figured out how to do screen recordings WITH audio through Quicktime! Didn’t realize Quicktime even did screen recordings…

Anywho, might be a little long-winded, but it’s a simple little vid demonstrating a bit of Scott Spencer’s ZBrush to Photoshop compositing. Very basic, primarily for anyone looking for a visual on the subject. The model used is that of Neville Page’s sea creature he sculpts in the “Creative Character Design Techniques” DVD tutorial. It’s $60 on the Gnomonology website - VERY worth it!

Hello everyone!

I’m back with a new creature. Basic concept doodled in a notebook during class the other week. I’m looking forward to posing this guy but he’s currently a dynamesh. Retopology will not work. How can I create a lower base mesh for posing and then reproject the details? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Happy ZBrushing!

If I understand the problem all you have to do is turn off dynamesh and then you should be able to do a ZSphere retopo. If that doesn't work we're gonna need more info.

Wip.

Started this guy a little while ago. Drew a bit of inspiration from the Space Jockey design. Hopefully I’ll get in a fully body render sometime soon. Sculpted in ZBrush, rendered with Photoshop Elements. Comments and critiques welcome!!
