Venture Bros. - Brock Samson

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi guys!

It’s been a while since I last posted, things have been very busy (in a good way) after graduation.

After having seen the hour long season finale of the Venture Bros. last night, I decided that it was finally time to start sculpting Brock Samson. Quite possibly the single most badass character ever created :slight_smile:

Here’s the first WIP:

Everything is still very rough, and the final character will be rigged and animated in MAX.

Crits would be appreciated! More shots as I sculpt along sometime soon! GO TEAM VENTURE!

Thank you very much!

I’m looking forward to animating him :slight_smile:
Here’s another quick WIP shot (am roughing in more of his facial proportions):

Awesome! I love the realistic feel you’re giving him. But in term of proportions, I think his face is way more stylized than his body at the moment.

But keep up the good work! What’s the animation going to be, a Rusty Venture :stuck_out_tongue:

ROFL! Let’s hope not! (Although we never did find out what it really was). I was thinking more in terms of Brock vs. Henchmen or Brock vs. Crocodile.

The body is pretty much untouched (other than overall proportions), I tend to work from the head down. (I know this is not really the way I should sculpt; as I should be thinking more in terms of overall shape, but I kind of like doing it… guilty pleasure. lol)

I think I’m shooting more for Brock as he is portrayed in the paint/watercolor art from the DVD covers/ads rather than the actual in-cartoon Brock :slight_smile:

More to follow soon!

Here are some minor updates to his overall proportions, let me know what you think! :slight_smile:

Lastly, (and sorry for the double post) here’s a really rough colored version:

I always find it helpful to use color when it comes to proportioning :slight_smile:

He’s lookin’ great! :slight_smile:

#9

Thank you kindly! :slight_smile:

#10

I’ve given him a complete proportional overhaul, and am starting to add in some of his clothes :slight_smile:

Thanks Simon! I can’t wait to get him to an overall proportional state that I am happy with, so that I can start detailing him :slight_smile:

#13

lovely modeling, looks really good!

:+1:

Thanks Michael! :slight_smile:

Here are two more shots:

I am starting to rough in more detail, am adding color, and the rest of his gear! Let me know what you think!

Also, I will be uploading a work in progress turntable shortly :slight_smile:

Very cool. Wondering why you went with him looking so aged and or evil twin type of look?

#16

Thank you kindly :slight_smile: I didn’t really go for an aged or evil twin type of look :stuck_out_tongue: I just find that a lot of the sculpted detail gets lost between Zbrush and 3ds MAX.

So I tend to oversculpt the detail a bit in order for it to not get too muted in MAX :slight_smile: Hope that makes sense!

#17

Still freakin’ cool dude.

Excellent fanart. :slight_smile:

Thank you very much Floyd!
The turntable is now up on YouTube!

I like the turnaround man. :slight_smile:

Can really see the animation potential as well.

EDIT: BTW that is a sweet reel you have on your site.
