Hey everybody,
This is my first submission. My character is a coal miner from the early 1900s. I developed the miner at a character design workshop by Zack Petrock.
During my research on miners from that time period, I came across some really beautiful portrait pictures. Back then people starting to work in mines, under very primitive conditions, when they were 12-14 years old. You can imagine how they look like when they’re in their late 40s.
After the workshop finished I kept working and refining the character, basically going through the whole process over again.
I started by making a simple box model in Maya and blocking out the clothes, suspenders, shoes, etc. Everything else was done using ZBrush, including these simple renders.
What is left for me to do is making a pick axe, hat light and some other accessories. Finally pose and render it. Hope you like what I have so far.
love the feel of the cloth, really nice work
but also a place to get intimidated by the amazing sculpts people are showing here. I’m definitely going to post more work, probably not as often as I would like to. I have some ideas for a next project.
