Hi everyone, I have to thank you all first for keep posting awesome stuffs. They are my everyday inspiration. I have been lurking on Zbrush central for a while. Finally decide to post something. Two of my favorite charater in Lord of the rings: Sauron and Balrog(Weta version). Hope you like them, and forgive my bad English.
Great Work!!!
The Balrog is marvellous!!!
Could you say more about your workflow, if you started with a base mesh or directly in ZBrush? What material have you used for the balrog?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks alot guys.
I do start my base mash in Maya with reference image
Then it’s time for polypaint before posing becuase I can still use symmetry before posing. I do break up symmetry a little bit after to make it look less boring.
Finally I start posing then after that I add wings, flame on his back, and weapons.
The materials I used for the uncolored one are mah_modeling and dj_grubbygreen. Both of them can be downloaded from pixologic.com. I mutiply the mah_modeling with 50% opacity on top of the dj_grubbygreen in photoshop after.
For the colored one. I rendered different passes then composed in photoshop.
Sorry for my bad English. Hope you can understand it
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to do daily sketches to improve myself.
Most of them are around 2-3 hrs.
Thanks for watching.
Great mod, but maybe you can reduce your screen
