You just do your thing. Got it
Another piece, another blast!

[alterton]

My zbrusher fellows, here you have a test render for the cover of “Of Darkness and Damnation” and also two more fights re-done with the new style. The Seatas Aprotenne the Pilgrim vs Tiehenne the Rightous One, and The Priest stabbing a Foetons… Hope you like them, comments and suggestions are welcome

[johnchen]

The action and pose on the 2nd piece feels stiff and lacks movement and flow, what did you reference? . Nice sculpts and the details on the book, looks great.
cheers

[alterton]

John! For reference I just dressed myself as The Priest and took a few selfies ib different poses…LOLOL! Just joking, thanks for your input!!!

And how about two more images from of Darkness & Damnation…

Now about some comercial modeling, this Time The Walking Dead Atlanta Hospital Doors building set for Mcfarlane toys I did with the Mcfarlane crew and art directed by Mike Gulen. A team work. This are really small!

And here you can see a video of McFarlane himself presenting it at this year ToyFair to see the scale…

Whatever happened to Barbie and Ken? Just kidding.

Those figures really translated well, into 3D.

Nice colors…nice grunge effect!

[alterton]

hanks Jan!
Here is another test render from “Of Darkness & Damnation”…zb and ps as usual.
Hope you like it.
BTW: Comments, critics and advices are always welcome!

[alterton]

Ok my amigos zbrushers and illustrators, I am in need of some input/advice here. I am trying to find the “feel” of these concepts, I kind of like the dull -almost monochromatic- look, but maybe the lightened version is more appealing, what do you think? The Rim light on the coloured ones is stronger, and probbably is too subtle in the others. What do you guys think? How about the background blending? what ever you can come up with will be more than welcome. I am not an illustrator, I am a dentist, turned into a traditional sculptor, turned into a 3D modeler, turned into a writer who wants to play the concept art part now!!! LOL

Thanks

Charge!!! test render from Of Darkness & Damnation, probbably I will add some mountains in the back or something. Comments/critics are welcome!

[martin6canale]

Amazing Work my Friend, Poses Looks Very Goooodddddd!

[LynneMitchell]

Nice! Has a touch of stop motion models to it…

[zomnombie]

This is a really cool scene! The poses are dynamic, the models are great! The depth of field gives it a miniature feel. There would be sharper focus going farther back on that wide of a lens.

[Takai]

Holy Gosh… wow…

This thread and your work are TREASURES!

Your latest post is simply jaw dropping!
This thread is a fine example of professional craftsmanship, raw talent, and dedication!
Tons of props!

[alterton]

Martin! Thank you chabon!!!
Lynne! Yeah I have been told that a few times, is that good or bad?
Zom! Thanks for the imput, will revisted!
Tak! Thanks a lot for your kind words, it’s been a hell of a ride!! Consider I am a freaking dentist that quitted it all to become a collectible sculptor a few years ago, and then turned to digital!!!

And while waiting for approvals to show my latest commercial stuff, how about some more test renders from Of Darkness & Damnation? This time is an old one redone in the mood of the latest renders… you can look for the first version a few pages back
Comments/critics are always welcome!

These renders are amazing. Can I ask do you have a tutorial on the way you render these awesome sketches?

thanks

[alterton]

And here you have another rider!!!
Also a breakdown of how I get to it. I mostly use these same setings to do what I have shown so far, hope this helps…

For the render passes I play a bit with light, shadows, ao, fog and depth cue settings…

and here is how the final psd look …

Thanks for watching

Wow where did you come from??? lol awesome work.
Love all of your models and thanks so much for the breakdown on the rider Gorilla with awesome wings. I want that rider <3
Got a new fan for sure and will be following your work.
Maybe as far as not sure which to use the monochrome or the red sun? try using a bit of both or that point right before the sun rises or right after it sets would be more better… like at Twilight but I don’t care either way myself both rock as far as I am concerned the way you did those images is just inspiring. Take care and of course Happy ZBrushing!!!
I want to see these all on Top Row again just my opinion

[alterton]

S! Thanks for the tip, will have it in consideration for the time when I do the final render!

Now here is a flashback, if you guys take a look a few pages back, you will remember Gelstrom the winged wolf I previously posted,
and how I recreated him digitally from an old traditional sculpt I did like 20 years ago. Well the Rider-gorilla idea comes from the same time,
here is the epoxy sculpt I made back then before I entered the marvelous world of the collectibles industry… damned! Times flies, and the good thing is that time broght zbrush!!! Love it!
