awesome stuff man, you’re one of my favorite artists. i’m really loving the polypaint on the last guy. i bought your “Gillman” vids today on Gnomonology and I’m watching them right now!

Hi All.
It’s awesome that you all are enjoying the Gnomonology design series.
I’m certainly having a great time doing them.
You guys inspire me on a daily basis.
To continue with my new venture here at ZBC I present you today with Alien Planet.
Cheers

Another Great Work Man! :+1:

Great costume design!
Also love the small reflection on the glass :+1:

hey cesar! thanks for sharing those beautiful pieces with us! I digg aqua the most. he reminds me of the mindblowing weeks i had in your cgtalk zbrush workshop! its sad that i wasnt able to see you in live action at seggraph this year!
i defenatly will have an eye on this thread!

greetings, gordon!

just a thought, but oin the second one, since he also seems kinda fish like, I would like to see there be actual water inside his helmet, maybe some bubbles, and the water distorting his head. it would be a new way to do a portrait, all distorted, but would be so awsome and new for a space traveler.

kinda like ed harris in abyss ( exactly like that)

just a thought, otherwise awsome designs

Cool stuff Cesar! :sunglasses: :+1:

Hi all.
Thanks a million for the kind words.

Hi Gordon, I’m glad you found my course mind blowing. I guess I’m doing something right then ^___-

Polyguns, neat idea… will try that on a future piece.

This whole concept started after seeing a picture of XFX’s SIL from Species.
I wondered whether I could get a render out of ZBrush that had the same transparent or translucent qualities.
Primarily in the eyes… this lead me to the transparency image below.
Once I did that well, I could really leave it at just that.

Also a few shots of the suit.

woooooww. look at those sharp details on that suit! looks awesome man! i really wish someone (hint, hint—nudge, nudge) would come out with a tutorial series on sculpting those kinds of details on suits and characters. i’d gladly drop some dollars to learn those methods.

great illustration!

super cool!!! :+1: :+1: :+1:

that looks super sweet. It’s all very clean. Thanks for the process shots as well Cesar!

very nice work!
congrats

Fine work ,always enjoy your threads!cal

great design, very original looking suit and proportions great work.

Hi All.
Thanks for the kind words.
I’m glad you enjoyed the suit design.
I guess I’m doing something right then :lol:
Today I post up Norman…
He’s an old familiar for you all that know my work.
He was originally created during the ZBrush 3 Beta testing.
