Here’s a work in progress view of a personal piece. A playful interpretation of some classic Pulp aliens created way, way back in the golden age of sci-fi illustration by artist Howard V. Brown.
I’m creating this piece in The Extra Mile course, run by the excellent Pablo Munoz Gomez. So far the course has been a great help, especially in rendering, where I feel I am really weak. I’m almost entirely self taught as a 3D artist and need help with some of the technical aspects used by pros to make their sculpts really pop. I did this simple pose and basic Keyshot render to see how it was looking. Right now this guy has no maps. I see where I need to refine some of the form and details in the head. But, it’s improving on my material customization, lighting set up and really good texture and rendering maps that I’m hoping to glean from the course. Soon I plan to make some first attempts with Substance painter to tweak this guy further.
