Darukin's Sketchbook

maybe there should be a place where people can chip in to get you a tablet…because, if you’re pullin’ this stuff off with a mouse, whatever you would create with a tablet would be unbelievable! i’d throw in if i wasn’t broke :slight_smile:

what are the specs on your computer to handle all those polys?

@Skinnybonez lol thx for the suggestion! but too l8 ^^
Good news guys
I purchased a WACOM at last, a Cintiq 12wx

I cant w8 for it to arrive, it’s on its way
I shall now explore the realm of CG with a tablet at last. I sure hope it improves my productivity and quality of work!
Cheers

Congrats on the purchase man! It surely will be better than a mouse. Ergonomically it will save your arm and wrist and you’ll be able to work much fast and naturally. Can’t wait to see the new work from it. :slight_smile:

thanks Arthaven , much agreed! Cant wait to use it! I do have to get used to it first tho…

In meantime I got an art test and phone interview for Blizzard to do, we’ll see how it goes =)
Are we allowed to share work created for art tests by the way ? (no NDA anyhow) or do we ask permission from them?

WOW man!!! i’m really excited for ya…both for getting the cintiq…and i can’t wait to see what you do now!..and for the potential blizzard gig. you should have that in the bag :slight_smile: let us know how it goes…and i’m looking forward to see ANYTHING that you do…especially now!

I would ask them just to be on the safe side.

Thanks Arthaven and Skinnybonez! Will keep you guys updated!
Yea I asked them they said I can post work online but only after full application procedure and decision is complete

Cheers!

Hi all

Long time no post, unfortunately little time these days
Anyhow I recently slapped together a cover-like photo of my artworks that constitute the story/world I’m creating. More about that later hopefully.

Either way, these are all from previous works but they constitute elements of this sci-fi/fantasy universe (I’ve been inventing this for over 10 years in my mind in fact).
Central pyramid is more of a thematic element (it all culminates to something doesn’t it ^^)

Hope you like!

Cheers!

Hiya
Here’s a Protoss upper body sculpt, that started off as an art test for Blizzard for which I couldn’t go through with afterall.

Lookin’ good! Love the cover like image :+1: -> keep expanding that universe :+1:

Wha? Why couldn’t you go thru with the art test? This looks awesome.

Sick design, cant wait to see more :slight_smile:

Veeeery nice! Cool Toss sculpt! Thats high praise coming from a Zerg player lol

Thanks Etcher, Nyx, Jonboywalton, Clintus! Means a lot
So sorry for late reply, havent visited here in a while

@Etcher: Thanks! In fact I’m now in collaboration with a graphic novel artist Ray Dillon - www.raydillon.com, for this world/story! Stay on the lookout for work from us - which I will post progress here.

@Nyx702 - I went through with it, but someone else must’ve gotten the job ^^ - I also didnt have the 3 years industry experience required, but they put me through to art test anyways so that’s good.

@Jonboywalton82: hopefully more to come soon ^^

@Clintus: Great to hear. Can’t wait for Heart of Swarm. I’m a toss player personally :slight_smile:

Furthermore, I’m to host a 3D workshop with Zillionarts so stay on the lookout for that too ^^

Cheers!

Hi all long time no post

News: Submitted a research paper for SIGGRAPH - if accepted, will link here, and hope to see some of you at SIGGRAPH in Anaheim, July

Secondly - I have begun recording a DVD workshop for a new project - it is still early WIP but here is some progress of head so far:
My first project since Zbrush 4R2
Loving micromesh and curve tool - completely speeds workflow!

Hope you like

For fast work well.
Something similar to steam-punk.

Nice work, but there is way too much dead space in the images in my opinion,
I like the fact that the top part look like a crown, Is it on purpose?

Hi, thanks ciel3 and ecas for replies!

Yes fast work, very early WIP so far.
Too much dead space aye
Nice observation, didn’t mean to make it look like crown, but did intend a more boss-like dominant look

awesome design! keep going

Rated one star for unnecessary big images.
Your work is mediocre by the way.
