Hey, guys... so I decided to create a thread dedicated to this character so I can get more focused feedback and get this guy ready for action. Today's focus was working on his armour and making it more decorative than functional (besides, being nearly invulnerable, who needs functional armour?), learning about how to construct the armour in a way that it feels believable and he will be able to move in it quickly. In the shots below, and after watching World of Warcraft for reference, I started off modelling each piece of leather armour and have it in key places where I think it would fit him. In reality, he would be easily killed in a dressing like this, but he has tough skin, so he has nothing to worry about. There is still more work to be done on his armour including setting it up so that it can be simulated in Marvelous Designer. The fauld will be an interesting design approach. I will say, I LOVE modelling in perspective... It helps SO much. For his skin, I decided to go for a bluish, grey feel to give the leather armour some contrast, especially in scenes where he will be surrounded by a fiery hell (He is from Styx) and dramatic lighting. I was inspired by Doomsday and Darkseid to go for this colour scheme, especially with the use of cavities to influence the roughness maps for his skin. These polypaint colours are just for reference and will change in Substance Painter when I am ready to texture him. The end result will be in Modo where he will also be animated via mocap. TO DO: -- Refine his anatomy more (I want to lessen the muscular details and get softer forms). The knees and thighs will need more work. -- Create some metallic ornamentation that will be added to the armour and detailed using displacement maps. I could also just model the ornaments outright and using Displacement maps for details. -- Do an overall detail pass on his skin using HD Geometry. -- Concept his weapon and shield. -- Figure out a workflow for creating the Displacement Maps for corrective blendshapes for rigging. C&C is also welcome. Cheers.

Hi, Guys, This my new work a fan Art of the Joker inspired by the art of my friend Ivan Miskalo This was a really fun model to do and very challenge try capture this very stylized and expressive 2d and translate to 3D. All ways a big learning at this every new model, and need to say thanks for my another friend Dmitry Ten for helping me on the light the scene! For more images and others works please go to: ARTHUR DUQUE CHEERS

Inspirado en el isotipo de Instagram. Presente a este nuevo amigo en 3D, peludo, monstruo y divertido, hecho el último Halloween, muy feliz de haber aparecido en 3D total y muchas otras plataformas creativas. ( Instaboo in 3dtotal ) gracias a jorge cuellar por la colaboración en la realización del arte conceptual. https://www.artstation.com/angelrapu

A quick exercise I did last month. Just wanted to create a quick game-ready head for practice. I sculpted the head in Zbrush and used TexturingXYZ maps through Mari for skin details. Lowpoly done in Maya. Total poly count comes to roughly 11k tris. Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 3. Wireframe

Hi Guys, New post here. I made it as a friendly battle with Eugene Lukashevich. His version: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDdRIpFwRk/ Based on the sketch by Marko Djurdjevic https://www.instagram.com/p/BkK8AAaH-yp/ It took 4 days. It was really nice to try out male character masculine type!

Hi guys here is a new personal work. It started the idea from a messy sketch on Ipad. I like the idea when dragons looks like pets and behave the same way Then I stumbled on really cool twitter account haruki_creation, they post Asian-made sculptures. I love the way they treat details and how they paint them. I wanted to make something similar. I tried my painting with polypaint on a very flat light matcap in zbrush. As usual I made very quick topology and UVs to continue to texture it in substance painter and render in redshift. Here is the result. Hope you like it! some of references:

Hi there! Recently I had the pleasure to sculpt this majestic creature for my buddy Artur Szymczak for his upcoming project It was pretty hard for me to get the body to anatomically correct level. In terms of details I focused mainly on the face, as the rest of the body is covered with fur. I would love to hear some critics from you guys, cheers! Also, I attach render of the previous version as well as images of her final look. All lookdev work made by Artur, so huuuge props for his brilliant job.

Hello guys, Finally completed Game Character Art (real-time) which i started for the Artstation Challenge Beneath the Waves. "Sons of Coral" Fungh Creature - Awesome Concept Art by Maciej Janaszek. I am happy with the result it was difficult but fun Learned a lot during the entire process!

Hi, this is my first post AND my first own design/sculpt in ZBrush. The Situation: This is a creature, based on a female human and a leaf insect. The story is, that she has been transformed into part leaf insect part human and used to play harp IRL, so thats what shes doing. The harp is about to follow into the design. My request: I am looking for some feedback on this design and the execution in the sculpt. The creature is currently at 800k polys and I am thinking about starting to detailing, but I am not sure, if it is ready for the detaling phase. What am I missing out (Anatomically and design-wise)? What is wrong? Where did I mess up big time? I'd be very happy for some detailed, construtive criticism. Thanks for reading.

I started this character to use for a specific project that wound up getting scrapped very early on. However, I'd already gotten hooked on the style of 1950's B-movie robots and decided to go ahead and make this anyway. I'm more happy with the model than the render I got, but that's me.

Hi Guys , Here are some renders of a portrait exercise I was doing of Ian McShane. I tried to kept this quite simple and use only Zbrush and Maya for this project . So inspired by Kris Costa I've modeled all the details by hand in Zbrush and also painted all the textures in Zbrush (no HD geometry though). The only XYZ texture I've used was a micro skin pores displacement used in Noise Maker. I've also tried to practice Xgen on this character from core Xgen to groomable splines to Interactive Groomable Splines. The head Model is about 20 mil polys in ZB and has only one 8K map for each Colour, Roughness, DISP. It has quite a few Xgen descriptions and loads of hair There are still quite a few things to fix and polish, but I hope you like this stage of the process. Cheers!

Hi,it's me again . This is my practice work in the 魔型志 online course. It's not very perfect，some details must be think over and fix. Very thanks to Johnny Xiao one of my master，and other's helps. Last ，reference by Sunme Lee ，https://www.artstation.com/artwork/5b5rw hope U like~

Hi again everyone! I present my very first scene to you which I am making. It is a scene/stylized diorama very inspired in term of atmosphere of Diablo (it is my favorite game since the very first game ^^). I started with a fast out block of the objects, like their placements. I gradually model in low poly the majority of the props which go made up the scene. I work at the same time on environment and the lights for one returned very dark fantasy. C&C are very welcome, it is the first time that I make this kind of project.

My name is Joel Mongeon, and I have been thrilled to be a part of the ZBrush 4R2 beta. I came in a bit late and had some computer issues this summer, however it never stopped my enjoyment and discovery of the latest advancements and innovations that Pixologic has produced. Zombie (click for full size): While I was only able to work on one project for the beta, I had a great time using the new DynaMesh feature to build a zombie. The new rendering system and wax shader is a really fast way to bring a model to the next level of polish without having to leave ZBrush. Bellow you can see the finished zombie along with some of the WIP images produced. I would also have to say that the new surface noise additions are fantastic! I can't wait to see what everyone can do with this version of ZBrush. Thanks Pixologic! -Joel
