Summer Sketchbook

**barnesy** · 07-19-10

Currently im on summer break from uni and as an attempt to motivate myself I will be sculpting as much as possible in my free time and posting it on this thread.

Feel free to comment on the work

Thanks

So far so good.

Sorry, I thought that I had to wait for the thread to be validated or something :s

Below is a collection of some recent sculpts. The Zealot and Hydralisk sculpts are fan art inspired by starcraft 2.
I also decided to try sculpting my first 'proper' head. I was inspired by 'Blondys' brilliant evil eyes from The Good the Bad and the Ugly

I am going to re-top the cowboy and try to improve on my texturing skills in zbrush and photoshop.

Any crits are welcome as I can simply load up the scults and re work them.

Ohhh Also I am sculpting the female Navi (Neytiri) from Avatar at the moment so keep your eyes peeled
Thanks

Heres the Neytiri sculpt that I have been working on for the last few days. I made a quick pollypaint just to see what the character was looking like, couldnt resist xD

Ill start refining it tomorrow.

Any Ideas for the next sculpt?
Was thinking along the lines of female anatomy...

Cheers

Is there any way that I can deete this thread beacuse I have just found out how to display the images in the thread properly so I have started a new summer sketchbook

**barnesy** · 08-07-10

Hey guys I have finally found out how to display the images in the actual thread rather than those rubbish thimbnails. I have created new renders of my current work , I hope you like it

The majority of my summer work is based on other peoples concepts just to get me used to sculpting in ZBrush.
I started by sculpting some of my favourite models from my favourtie game Starcraft.

After sculpting the alioen forms I decided it was time to attempt human anatomy so i decided to sculpt a cowboy bust.
The cowboy is my own design influenced by clint eastwood.

This is an altered version of the cowboy created as a concept for a mod that I am working on as a side project

Once I attempted male anatomy I tried modelling Neytiri from Avatar (Not very female like I know haha)

Let me know what you think

p.s does anyone know how I can delete the ealier posts in this thread?

Thanks
Mike

Its been a while since my last post on here. Heres an update of the finished Neytiri render. Ive have spent the last few hours compositing it in photoshop , playing around with the liquify etc as its my first 'proper' attermpt at using zdepth etc

**Darukin** · 08-15-10

nice work like the neytiri sculpt

I'm also modeling my own hydralisk =)
Just finished StarCraft 2 and I think they're fabulous creatures

Keep it up

**barnesy** · 08-15-10

Thanks Darukin,

Youll have to give me a shout when you start that hydralisk!
I have yet to complete SC2 because I always end up playing 2 vs 2 online haha

**barnesy** · 09-04-10

It's safe to say that I havent updated my sketch book in a while...
I've been busy sorting out my computer as the power supply decided to break.

ANYWAY

I am close to completing Scott Spencers Character Creation book. I only have the Displacement maps section to go which looks the hardest

Here is the Stinger Head from chapters 3,4 and 5
I hope you like it

I am also working through his Human Anatmy book also. It will be a while before my next update as I havent even finished the head yet haha

I really suggest anyone whose new to ZBrush to pick up Scott Spencers Character Creation , I cant actually believe how useful it has been with all the litte free brushes, videos and models!
He needs to hurry up and bring out some more books xD

Very nice, looks like your improving by leaps and bounds.

Hey guys , It's been a while!

Heres a quick post just to show you some of the sculpting that I have been doing.

The is part of an anatomy study where we had to re create a famous sculpture, in my case I decided to choose Discobolos.
