Thanks Glenn.

Got a little bit more done last night.

Fairly major revision and starting to add some color and other details.

Afternoon update.

Unless I can think of something else to do with this I guess it’s pretty much done.

New project.

Rooooooobots! You have a wonderful skill over hard geometrical edges. Something I deeply struggle with. My absolute respect! I like your new robot, what is your inspiration for it?

Thanks for the great comments, Rykka! For inspiration, first I get an idea of what I’d like to do next. Then I go to google and start searching images. I’m a big image whore, I’ve got like 10 gigs in my image folders alone. I find a few pics that I like and then go to Zbrush and start getting the basic shapes down. I use vague impressions from a lot of different images to get what I want on the screen and that way it ends up being my own creation as opposed to just a clone of a single image I’ve seen. I’ve really gotten a fondness for steampunk mechanicals lately and that’s why most of my sculpts lately have had that sort of theme. I’m really bad at organic sculpting (as you can see if you look at the first half of this thread) but I’m attempting to get a little organic feel into my mechanicals for the past week or two.

Anyway, here’s my morning progress. The hand is unattached until get to the posing stage just to make it easier to work on.

Evening progress.

Learning how to combine render passes in PS along with some different material settings.

After a few hours and a ton of trial and error, I think I might have hit on the right combinations for this piece. Please let me know what you all think.

Number two in a series for a fairly complex scene I want to compose in Photoshop. Not very detailed, but these next few will be secondary to the main subject of the piece.

Great progress man! Can’t wait to see final model.
Keep it going!

Cheers,

Thanks Faircat.

Other than a weapon and the hands (oh, how I dread hands…) major construction is complete. I should be able to finish this one up tonight and be one mech closer to implementing my evil plan to take over the… errr… I mean my totally neutral plan (not evil at all) to do something really nice and sweet. Yeah, that’s it…

This is as good as it gets for me (so far). Going to paint and add a few more details, but otherwise this sculpt is done. Also need something for his leading foot to be propped up on so it doesn’t look like he’s auditioning for a Captain Morgan tv spot. :lol:
