Alien Bust

[system]

This is a bust I been working on for a family of aliens I plan on doing. I have the adult male features sorta figured out. I still need to figure out how to retopo the head as it comnes out like a blob in zbrush when i try to do it for some reason.

anyways I have it ready to polypaint and then try my hand at rendering. I gave the skull and areas that are really close to the skull and less muscled a rough hard surfacy texture. and the areas of skin like the neck chest and areas aroung the eyes nose and mouth a sort of thick veiny look but it actually supposed to be like a root tangle.

these creatures are creatures of the earth type thing and their bodies simulate the plants and such about them i guess. I havent fully fleshed out their history yet but just an idea I had for them. Kinda like a peaceful keepers of the woods type people but are deadly when the forest etc is in danger.

Well I got the base colors laid out and am starting on highlighting my “Roots” on the chest and back

Well I got it poly painted and I am pretty happy with the colors, but will always listen to suggestions. I did a test render in Zbrush and though it needs lighting and other adjustments I was able to get a feel for the outcome. If I can ever get the head to retopo nice then I will be able to get more subdivisions and more detail. then can do the entire body now that I have the facial features worked out. I still have to do the mother then the 2 kids to get an age and gender look difference figured out yet also.

Well today I got my models evenly topoed and so am starting the full-body sculpts. I got the face of the maleroughed in tonight and made a couple changes from my original but not too drastic. I just cut the skin flaps on the cheeks back a hair for the male as I decided to bring them all the way forward where the original was for the female to be able to make her more asthetically pleasing looks. I also decided to add deep grooves in the males face kinda like a rough barky type thing. I still have some tweeking and refining of what I want the finished to be but will do the females face now so I have something to look at to decide on some sex differences.

PS any ideas ppl may have I am open to anything.

ok I have redone the male full body and it is sort of ok. theres something to it that just missing would love to get some ideas of what it may be.

here are some shots of the bust and then some full body shots. Maybe once I get some kind of garm on him it may change things dunno. will try to figure out what kind of clothing they should be wearing and try that.

Hi,
Well,As I’ve gone over in the previous bust reviews, these aren’t the most inspired boxes that HT have given us, as they are primarily designed to protect the contents in transit whilst giving a glimpse of the face through a window on the front, but that said this is my joint favourite bust box so far along with the Jokers. They’ve kept it simple, utilising elements of the original movie poster, but it works very well.

Regards!

Ive been working with some alternative ideas and detailing the full body details. one thing that has been mentioned in some of the tutorial videos is a brush called a scratch brush. I looked everywhere and cannot seem to find that brush. is that a brush from an earlier version that was removed? and is there a place to download more brush types from?
