It was just supposed to be a head test but got a little carried away

Hey guys this is my latest project, Majin Buu,
he was done using Zbrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer and rendered in Redshift

Lovin’ your stuff here man. My fave is that girl from loish’s concept. I dig your Majinbuu as well! Though I would do another pass on the bottom folds to give it a clearer direction. Still looks great though! :smiley:

This character was based on a concept from James Jean and I had a nice time trying to keep things stylised and working


your modeling skill is really unbelievable !!!

Loving your work bro!

How did you go about getting the skin texture for the character WIP?

I’m making a lot of characters with brown skin and would love to know how you approach it, using scans or some other way?

@yusofadibmanesh: Thanks man that’s much appreciated

@ZedHead: I took cross polarised photos of myself (http://www.wilkoff.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/compair.jpg) because there aren’t that many online of black people in good quality which is why I did it,
alternatively you could get high quality photos of black skin and remove the lighting in Photoshop with Shadows/highlights image adjustment and paint out areas it can’t get, and then in Mari I use that as my diffuse,
once I finish painting my diffuse I use a HSV node in Maya to tweak the colour and use my diffuse as the 3 layers of SSS on the skin, I hope that helps, if you need further information just contact me

Thanks for the reply.

I might not do it that exact way but I do need to bite the bullet an start using samples of my own skin, So i’ll start taking pictures of my face (perhaps the GF too) and start using those to create the skin.

I have a one model in particular that am planning to redo (the skin) so this would be a good one to try out.

thanks

Have to find time to do more Creatures, the design was heavily inspired by Johan Grenier’s sketch

This is a likeness based on Anthony Joshua

Very nice work that you did! How much ZBrush is involved in the creation? Perhaps some screenshots to share to see your sculpt in details?

@Totyo Thanks man! Zbrush was heavily involved, the body, shoes, glove and trousers were all sculpted in zbrush and everything was finished in zbrush except the trousers which I did in Marvelous Designer and then brought back into zbrush for detailing, here are some screen shots





Oh thank you very much for sharing these screenshot, you did a very good job on this model!
