Sketches & stuff

[digitalmind]

Hey guys!Thank you very much for the kind words!

~TLishman- Thank you! I usualy start with simple sketches on paper when im chillin,then i take it to PS and then start to sculpt.Ill be posting step by step stuff for my next characters

GX@W-Thanks a lot!

Mahlikus The Black-Thank you very much!

xada-Thank you! I really apreciate your feedback. Its very nice to see im keeping the same aspects from my concepts to the sculptures.
For the creature,its not finished yet...that is just the start. Ill be retopologizing this monster and pose him after that.

Freamedworld- Thanks!!!

Such a neat thread this is! they all share a stylized look which i really adore

[Sebeuroc]

Great work man! You've got a really great style going there.

[magalhaes]

I love your style ! Those last busts are awesome !

[slocik]

Love your works man, especially the recent stylized ones.
And about the monster, i think you totally went overboard with his muscle forms, and lost a lot of what make him cool looking in teh concept. I did a similar character recently, and i also started making him too buff, but then just went smoothed it all out and just made the main forms bigger, and made the smaller muscles more subtle. Ended up with teh same mass looking guy but with more eye pleasing look.
Then again you can end up with a totally different thing once you finish the model, anyway keep up the good work, but his back leg really needs to get thinner ;D

Really nice collection of concepts, I noticed some of these looked as if they were optimized for Game environments, are they for next-gen game?

[digitalmind]

SuperHer0- Thanks a lot!

Sebeuroc-Thank you very much!

magalhaes-Hey man!Thanks!

slocik-Really glad you like it and i tottaly agree with you about the creature proportions,im doing the retopo for this guy and i´ll be changing some details after finish this part. this is more like a blocking structure stage ,ill be polishing the muscles and stuff when the mesh are done,so i can work on it.Thanks a lot for the feedback dude

koro-Thanks! Yep...they´re adjusted to lowpoly versions,but they´re all personal stuff.

Meanwhile, heres a character i did just for fun in Zbrush,no concepts this time

[digitalmind]

Hey! I´ve been working on this character...still detailing her clothing and pose. Theres the Falcon to sculpt...Does someone can help me and share something about sculpting feathers?Im kind of stucked at this stage
I dont know if im going to use planes with alpha maps or sculpt the whole wing
The render is from the marmoset toolbag engine.
Posting the updates soon

[Framedworld]

can I just say two things:

1: I love love love your presentation of your work. Its simple and you don't hide that fact, you work in the smoothness of your models beautifully. I like the designs, but I adore the way you show them

2: I've seen your comments around the forums, and I gotta say, you are just so positive in your crits and comments, Its great to see. The forum used to be only people like you, but somewhere along the line egos got involved and things became unconstructive. Idk why. Its just nice to see someone who keeps things encouraging and moving along for all involved.

So nicely done on both accounts.

[Mahlikus The Black]

Oh Digital!
Loving this Lass.

And Oh, the painting...THE PAINTING!
Just beautiful!

Top notch stuff!

[slocik]

Dude you keep forgetting to insert your images into posts !
Anyway great work on the last model. There was a great post about sculpting feathers here a while ago sadly i dont think i will never find it.

But the forums are the same as they always been.
Other than some undeserved top rows ( http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=090589 anyone ? )
i never see any drama in the comments,and that is still very rare.
And compared to other cg sites this forum is pure love driven ;D

Hey guys! Thank you very much for your feedback!
