“Darth Loly and her apprentice”
I’ve created the scene in the course of 4 days as a present for my friend’s birthday, I didn’t have much time from the moment I got inspiration to the actual day of her birth. Perhaps will bring it to another level and put some color on it. But not for now, so please don’t give her (friend) any ideas :lol:
Costume inspiratioon obviously Darth Vader, and http://thumbpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/24-Star-Wars-4.jpg

Dmitrij
Love these last three … you definitely rock! :lol: All the best for the New Year! Cheers, David
Amazing !! Your work has always been full of vitality and expression, you are truly a Zbrush craftsman:-)
Those portrait sculpts are amazing.
The rendering made my jaw drop, what program did you use?
And would you be willing to share a bit of your rendering workflow?
Thank you David! I had only a brief look (so far) at your photography site, and I can see our conncetion as I love it Best in 2012!
Thank you Skaale! Glad you feel that way, that’s what I’m hopefully bringing
Hey Corey, thank you very much! About the rendering, it’s all Zbrush single pass (with backgrounds and hair for the latest one in photoshop).
1 - adjusted the MatCap Gray included material (lowered diffuse, bringing up ambient, and adjusting a specular a bit, maybe 2-5 points up, and playing with the curve) btw the models themselfs are white with gray to black “coloring”.
2 - then added black fog, adjusting it just for the darkness to mildly consume the ears of each character.
3 - I haven’t rendered any of the images neither with best renderer nor with bpr, I’ve just exported them to photoshop as they were, I’ve only rendered a shadow pass with bpr for the last portrait so I can get the shadow for the eyeglasses mostly, but that portrait was also not rendered, only the shadow which was applied in photoshop as a top layer with multiply blend mode.
4 - In photoshop for every image I’ve pressed autocontrast, duplicated that layer, put it above and applied a sharpness filter to it, lowering the oppacity to about 70% as I recall. Then played with compositions and some dirt. That’s it
Best today’s!
Thank you for the walkthrough!
I’m very impressed with the fact that you didnt even really use bpr for this stuff.
Great work man, keep it up
Corey
Corey, no problem. Thank you!
Hi cherub
i’ve looked through nearly every page in your sketchbook.
as I’m new to zbrush and being honest not very good with it yet. (got it at christmas and since then i’ve made maybe 1 good head )
I’ve been using lightwave for years and I’m pretty competent with it. but z-brush is just so different and i feel like a complete amateur again.
seeing how you’ve improved since your 1st posts really gives me hope that if I stick with it then I can maybe produce something I’m finally happy with.
thanks for inspiring me to keep at it.
