悟道

Hello everyone:

This work is taken from a big snake, a golden toad in ascetic practice, watching water drops day after day, tempering its state of mind. Meditate and seek enlightenment.

The main models were all completed in ZBrush 2022. High-model rendering is in KeyShot 10; The final effect is completed through PS in the later stage.

Hope everyone likes it.

I’m very happy to have a vacation tomorrow. Today, I can have time to share the production process with everyone


The first step is just like when we start learning sketching, to geometrically shape the object and carve out the muscle movements with large blocks. Try not to look at the details at this stage. It is important to pay attention to the interweaving relationship of the muscle masses in the limbs and look for more references for analysis.
The second step is to first separate the limbs, which makes the subsequent work easier. Then, clearly carve the muscle structure of the limbs. Try to follow the principles of geometric shapes as much as possible, like the red circle. Note that there is skin on the muscles, so this step should roughly express the interweaving relationship between the muscles and the skin. Secondly, there are the basic characteristics of the golden toad, such as the yellow-marked head and the features on its body.

The first thing to do in this step is to integrate the limbs and the body into one, which makes it easier to make connections, such as the wrinkled skin of the joints. Then, further refine the facial features, the soles of the hands and feet, and the details of the body.

Finally, it is necessary to make the structure solid where it should be and virtual where it should be, and establish a good relationship between the solid and the virtual. Then, add details to make it look more realistic.
Hope everyone will like it. Thank you
