3D Jam #4: Kione Android Navigator - groBoto

[groBoto]

Reworked the stand in GroBoto, and tweaked its scale and placement in ZBrush -- pretty happy with the overall balance of the piece now. Made a few other refinements here and there.

Head/torso will go up one sub-D for surface detailing ('tho again, want to keep it relatively clean) and fixes/refinements of the face.

Best Wishes,
Darrel

More subtle ('tho I hope, productive) tweaks... mostly chasing down the character in her face while trying to strike a nice stylized/android chord.

Not the final material, but I do plan on going with an unpainted multi-patina metal finish.

Best Wishes,

Hey sculptor.zb -- Thank you.
Hello SpiritDreamer -- Thanks... I never know who might emerge -- being surprised is one of the great joys of art.

Here's an update. Introducing some more stylized geometry.

Kione is done...

Great fun, lots learned. So many wonderful models -- looking forward to seeing all of the finishes.

Again (like my Rim Lizard), just simple ZBrush renders -- no time nor tools for anything else.

Best Wishes to all.
Thanks for tuning in.

Beautiful piece, very original and unique !

Very nice I always enjoy this style you achieve w/ Groboto. The lighting is good. That's with ZBrush lights, not a matcap, right?

Hey Etcher, thanks for stopping by... and for the comments -- originality and beauty are two elusive things that I'm constantly striving for.

Hi jamespthornton, I appreciate the continuing encouragement... this new modeling/mesh GroBoto stuff is starting to come together. Right... a regular ZB Material -- nothing fancy -- with a couple of ZB Lights. All simple, but lots of tweaking of both material and lights until it felt right.

Best Wishes,
Darrel
