First time trying a 3D program!! :-)

ZBrush Artworks
#9

@ TheArtMonkey Sure, I took screenshots through the whole process, i will post some when I get them organized.

And no, I never used any kind of 3D program (Anything with geometry or vertices or what they’re called) before, except Sculptris that I used for 1 day at work and just moved straight on to Zbrush, and started working on this dude.

I’ve never done any of the things you list, but I have been drawing on paper my whole life, and I used to do illustrations for heavy metal shirts and album covers in photoshop and illustrator, but that’s a few years ago, and the discovery of this program was really what sparked my desire for drawing again. (I call it drawing, but I guess it’s sculpting)

I really only wanted to post my first sculpt here and was looking forward talk about art and 3D stuff and finally have some art to post on the forum I have been following for quite some time now, and continue to learn more about this amazing 3D world.

I was just happy to finally be finished with what I now know was a way to complicated thing for a first sculpt (I don’t think I’ve ever worked on anything this long before), but it was just too much fun, to finally be able to draw something that looked like it could have a place in the games I play.

Thanks for the other positive comments guys, it means a lot to me!

I don’t really care if it’s your first sculpt or not. It’s really good work either way. Quality stuff. Though I really think you should do something different then just a plain white background. Does not do the sculpt justice at all.

Looking forward to seeing more from you :+1:

Man, first-ever sculpt?! Mindblowing. You should’ve seen my first sculpt, a blobby ogre. And to think I was so proud of it. :rolleyes:

Anyway, about the only crit I have is that while individual elements are all awesome, the whole doesn’t read very well - it’s a jumble of equally-sized, equally-detailed elements. There’s no place for the eye to rest. Other than that, fantastic!

I’m surprised his head isn’t bigger
in the first time 3D sculpt. :slight_smile:

#17

WOW, this is absolutely stunning 
 the amount of detail blows my mind! Your first time with ZBrush? --> TOP ROW stuff!

#19

Killer work man! :smiley: looks freakin sweet!!

I think that part of the misunderstanding is that, generally someone’s first post is created with minimal understanding of the interface and workflow within Zbrush. The outcome is quite generic until people get the hang of it. You seem to have quite an advanced understanding of how things work and a keen artistic eye. Excellent first work!!!

First of all, very nice work indeed. Very impressive, and the render is very good as well, cartoony and stylized. It’s nice that you got that render from ZBrush.

I think it’s understandable that people are a bit confused by your statement that this is your first ever 3D model on any kind of software.
After you posted the progress on this sculpture, it’s obvious that you went through the stages everyone else is going through when they learn 3D modeling/digital sculpture, but you chose to post the end result only after a long time of studying, iterating, and finishing.

Most people would post that first image, get critiques, move on.
You just pushed through, iterated, reworked it, and after months of work you posted your first “finished” piece.
So I wouldn’t say it’s your “first ever model”, you first ever model was made the first time you stopped working and told yourself “that’s not good at all”.

This is the first time you were ever satisfied with your work, and decided to share it. And that’s the impressive part, by the way. Most people will be far, far less patient than you in sharing their work. They’d just share the mediocre work in progress and move to a new project, and do the same. I’m a sinner in that, as well.

Great sculpt and personally I don’t see what’s that all about your first sculpt or your 100 sculpt. I like it.

#23

Great work man. You’re very stubborn person finishing your very first piece.
Congrats, you’ve done really well.

#24

Well done!

#25

This is a really cool piece Johnny. It’s really neat to see what you’ve done with this sculpt. Keep at it man. Cheers.

#26

This came out really well! You did a great job representing the style you were going for :slight_smile:

#27

This is epic I love it. How long have you been using zbrush as you said as the months grew you got better and better. What month did you start using zbrush I ask cause i have been using zbrush for about 5 months and I am just now getting the hang of things makes me feel like crap sometimes

#28

WOW, your first post and you make something as awesome as this, im still learning the software. Inspirational work.

Hi Guys

Sorry for my inactivity in this thread.

But thank you so much for all the positive comments. That makes me feel very good about finishing that character, instead of just starting over with something else as I got a Little better at Zbrush.

@Stephon972 I think I got Zbrush around Christmas, and from there I spend all my free time just trying to get better. I just studied what other people were doing, and watched all the tutorials I could find.
