Experi-mental Sketchbook

The usual Boozy Floozie quality. :slight_smile: Great.

Beautiful illustrative style. Always prefer the ā€œpaintedā€ style of rendering. How much post work do you put into your images ?(sorry, I haven’t been all the way through this thread yet).

Edit: 13 hours later I did manage to get all the way through the thread (no I’m not that slow of a reader!) and can only reiterate what I said above. What I can’t believe is that not one person has asked ā€œhow did you do that?ā€ - So, I’m going to be the first. Can you share any of your work process? Understandable, if not.

I always get such a kick looking at your art. Love this!

Great seeing your work again Boozy!!

Aw, It’s a ZBrush homecoming. The family is around the table, around the world, from way back when to way back now. It’s lovely.

As for the question:

How much post work do you put into your images

Because I’m never really aware of the post production phase I guess it’s not very long. But so too might it be long and I have lost awareness. The heightened euphoria to see the end stage as it’s also known. Generic BPR workflow, multiple material renders blended at the post production stage to fine tune tonalities. Because I do like too long a pause in flow I tend to render smaller to save time and upsize in photoshop when bringing the rendered components together.

The painted style of render is integral within the process. Images come to me fully lit in my head. I sculpt in relation to the mood set by lighting . I sculpt as deep as I would paint a tone. I’m looking always for the tonalities and the harmony of a form’s tonal relationships to other forms by way of design and primitive emotion. For me a character or anything relates less to itself but to it’s greater harmony. Lighting comes first to me and in musical terms sets the key and the vibration. Vibration is important

I’ve had to relearn how to create my work from 2.5D in to 3D.With 2.5D I could use material diffusions and baking lighting to create tonalities, with BPR I can still paint with material diffusions etc to act as faux lighting sources . I’ve always created my sculpts to exist tonally in context with their environment rather than imposed upon an environment. This way the characters do not get in the way of the story.

Very nice illustrative style on this piece. I could see this as it’s used in a picture book or something.

Beautiful reply, thanks… Painting with words.

Thank you folks.

These two lovers found washed up on the beach. Created using photo textures from the beach over sculpted forms and sculpted planes. Worked in 2.5D using pixol layers collage method , baked lights and post processing brushes. Old skool or what?!!

I fancy maybe resurrecting a little more 2.5D says he.
Something a little visual synthesizer like about ZBrush in 2.5D mode I always think.

As for these two lovers? A tragic end I’m afraid , some folks say the relationship hit the rocks when he got the crabs , but that just some folks.

Hey, they looks like Blakey from ā€œOn the Busesā€ā€¦ Really showing my age there, right?

Much like Blakey the hero of the piece is not emanating a likable aura or mustache.
A Bill Sikes and Nancy or Punch and Judy in sand , shells and seaweed.

Another 2.5D pixol collage , layers ,manipulated textured objects and zbrush processing.
May it wobble your eyes .

Yours etc.

Poetry. You work is visual poetry, Mark.

If I may steal a touch from Uncle Bradbury…

ā€œStay drunk on art so reality cannot destroy you.ā€

Whisper and shout your visions as you will. I’ll be listening.

And thank you.

Really liking these 2.5D pieces. To me, this is a much under-utilised aspect of the ZB package.

wonderfully imaginative :slight_smile: … yes, i too think, 2.5d of zbrush is almost forgotten, your work is wonderful to remind us on these capablities.

Thank you all most sincerely.
I shall take your heartening words as permission to persist :slight_smile:

very dali of you…! weird… great stuff

tyrellcorp, thank you.

Dali you say?

Here’s one from way back when - an early Boozy. Old skool 2.5D.

Yours etc

My eyes are dutifully wobbled!

And my heart is aflutter with the re-animated online presence of Mr Boozy! Always a visual chocolate éclair: naughty, but very nice!

Vive la 2.5D!

Sorry I missed the original posting.
I was selfishly looking at the posts regarding the ā€œnew kidā€.
Thank you for reminding me why we do this.

Thank you Rory and bicc.
I have the temerity to disport myself on occasion .

Mrs Boozy and the Bairns , away tae the Kirk.
