ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi there,

I’ve decided to open a new sketchbook for this year with stuff that I have been working on in the past few months.
Most of the pieces are still WIPs. Hope I can finish them at some point :slight_smile:

I’m going to start with a few models that I started at the end of last year, but haven’t posted them anywhere, so I thought
I just put them in here as well. I will be posting more and newer sculpts over the next few days.

C&C is very welcome!

thanks for looking :slight_smile:

Here is a character that I started during the Creature Design R2 class with Cesar Dacol Jr.

I played around with the plating a little, but have to change it again, cause some areas don’t really work…

and this is the low-poly version after retopologizing. tried to optimize it for animation. still have to see if it works :wink:

If you want to optimize it for animation you might want to add some edge loops around the knees and elbows.

#8

there are edge loops around the knees and elbows!?! Or should I make them tighter?

#9

Nevermind, this was just me being tired last night, these edge loops looks ok :slight_smile:

hey guys,

here is one that I’ve actually finished. I named it “Regrowth”.
It’s also one of the pieces I created during the Creature Design R2 class with Cesar Dacol Jr.

Some Zbrush screen grabs without texture.

For some reason, the floor acted a bit weird when rendering oO

Here is another one that I’ve been working. It started out during the Creature Design class
where we were supposed to create a dragon. I was looking for reference pictures and found some of sea dragons
that I really liked. So, here what would come out if a dragon and a sea dragon had a baby :wink:

still have to work a bit on the wings and give this guy some color…

Nice work on the scales, did you used any specific technic or was it just plain sculpt?

#14

I really enjoy your work. It’s technically impressive, but also quite original and singular. I especially love that strange and beautiful sea dragon! Definitely a standout among dragon designs, and the detailing is well done.

I would be very grateful if you shared your method for creating the skin of the wings, which look quite convincing. Nice and thin!

Thanks for sharing.

Terry

so cool!

#16

hey thanks guys!

@Braga.3D: it was just plain sculpt. long process, but definitely worth it. could not have gotten a similar result using alphas.

@SwampGhost: thanks a lot for your kind works. I really appreciate it. :slight_smile: I made the wings with zsphere retopology. pretty straightforward. If I have some time this week, I can make a quick video showing the process, if you like.

here is a turntable from the sea dragon. somehow the quality got a bit lost. I’m still new to vimeo… I’ll figure it out at some point :wink:

That would be great, if it’s no trouble. I would be very grateful. I’m still fairly new to ZBrush, and many things that should be straightforward still aren’t for me. I have yet to do any retopology, for instance.

Thanks, Hendrik! I look forward to your next post, whatever it ends up being.

Then you are reaaaally patient! Anyway this seems to be worth doing!

#19

Hey guys,

here is the promised tutorial for making bat or dragon wings. Sorry if it seems a bit long.
Didn’t have very much time for cutting and editing. I already speeded up some parts, but
I guess I should have made them even faster :wink:
Anyway, hope this helps. If anything is still unclear, don’t hesitate to ask.

cheers! :slight_smile:

Hendrik, thanks so much! Very generous of you to take the time to share your knowledge. I never cease to be impressed and even moved by the general culture of sharing and helpfulness in the ZBC forums. A true community.

Looking forward to watching this! I have a big dragon project in mind (which will probably be a while coming, yet), based on a series of books that I love, and this will definitely help me get a bit closer to making that happen.

Thanks again!

Terry

Edit: Just wanted to say that I took a look at the video, and you were right: It’s a pretty simple process! Very nicely done tutorial, and not long at all. :):idea:
