Brad Kachel's Character Art

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Thought I might as well post some of my work online for once.
I’ve primarily been a character TD/Rigger for the last few years, while also doing character art for the studio and personally in between.

Currently I have the rare opportunity to take some time out, work on my folio, and looking around for my next job.

I also have a video showing a Head Generator tool I created, located on my blog:
[http://bradkachel.blogspot.com/](http://bradkachel.blogspot.com/)
(Sadly I can't post some of my best work as it's under NDA to not be show publicly. Though it can be shown in my personal reel in job applications.)

Anyway, hope you enjoy checking out some of my work.

I’ll be finishing off the WIP pieces soon, and will update this thread.
Cheers
Brad K

Wow, top quality sculpt and texture work here. I especially like the octopus lady…can you show some more of that sculpt? Really beautiful :+1: :+1:

Great work man, the head generator looks very cool. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Cheers guys, appreciate the positive comments.

Aesis:
Thanks, I look forward to showing the Head Gen to a fuller extent in a future vid.
As I didn’t show all the features - Female generation side, controls to set the amount of exaggeration in the heads randomly created, the extent of controls; reshape the eyelids, eyelashes, nostrils, ears etc etc.
There are also texture presets for the face based on each ethnic type and gender.

SolidSnakexxx:
Sure here’s a few screen grabs of the octopus lady sculpt. I have barely touched a lot of areas, so have quiet a bit of work left to do on her sculpt before texturing.

Cheers.

Excellent sculpting !.. :slight_smile:

Here’s some updates.
Have had an insane last few weeks, so haven’t been as productive as I should be.

Both are screen caps, not pre rendered.
I used both sculpting packages for these pieces.
Though please let me know (moderators/users) if it isn’t cool to post work that is from a mix of both apps. As I don’t want to offend or start a flame war.

This is just a finished image of a past head I posted, with a few spec and gloss maps and texture tweaks.
