talster's Z4 sketchbook

[talster]

Thank you Pixologic for ZB4!!!

I've been challenging myself lately to create a bust (or more) a day.

Please hit me with whatever critique or criticism you can, and I'll do my best to improve. Thanks!

[artstudio3]

last one will be certainly nice...

[talster]

artstudio3, thanks for your feedback. If you have any opinions on the first two pieces, I'd love to hear. These are all works in progress, so please expect to see updates in the near future

Here are a few more recent pieces, more stylized than "realistic":




Credits go to Ben Caldwell for this cartoon female design

A few more, no reference for these. Please send me your honest feedback, thanks!

Jimmy and Joe are originals, design credits for the last guy go to Anthony Jones.

Don't hold back that criticism!

Thank you again Pixologic, ZB4 is crazy awesome Those clip brushes have cut my average sculpting speed in half or more!

Lately, I'm especially enjoying making likenesses.
