Hello all!
First off, I’d like to thank Jaime Labelle for granting me permission to post here about my Zbrush class at Mold3D ( http://www.mold3dacademy.com/master-organic-modeling.html ). It’s been 2 classes so far and I’ve been nothing but proud about the results from those who participated.
Anyway, I’ll let the students do the talking and post their work. I’ll start it off by posting some of the pieces I’ve been working on lately.
Happy Zbrushing All! 
Hi!
I am Daniel S. Rodrigues, and I’ve attended to the 2016 class of this amazing course from Gio. The amount of knowledge that I gathered form this is immeasurable, and it completely changed how I approach my work from a very fundamental way.
Here it is my main project developed on this course. It is based on a creature from the japanese folklore, which it is called Kappa. Also, I drew a lot of inspiration from Simon Lee’s kappa sculpts.
Cheers!
Hi everyone ! my name is Marco Ventura im from Rio de Janeiro Brazil (i know this post is not supposed to be introduction but since its my first post let it be 
)
I was an student in Gio’s Nakpil 2016 Class, and to make it straight foward and not keep you reading (because you probably want to see the images) this class was the BEST i have ever taken, i did not kewn Gio before, now he’s not only an artist i look up to and take huge inspiration, he’s also one of my favorite teachers and i had alot of ammazing teachers in my life, so those words are not written lightly.
So yeah wish i could tell you all about the ammazing experience i had, but it would make to such an large text, just if you would care for my humble student opinion this class is a MUST for every single student and very benefitial for people who are already working.
So yeah ! thanks for reading, hope to see your work in the group soon incase you take the class

Hello Everyone,My name is Mohammed Anuz,I took Gio’s mold3d class in 2015.It’s a invaluable, intense class , which I would recommend to anyone who is serious into character modeling.I have always been a big fan of Gio’s work and learning under him was a awesome experience for me, I thank Mold 3d for creating this opportunity for the people who are outside US.One of the best thing about the class was the community it created as a facebook group.Lot of brilliant artist whom I follow were among the students and the comments they gave in the group were very motivating.
This is the assignment I did during the class,Gio’s instant comments helped me a lot to see my model in a different way and improvise it.
I have see a tremendous improvement in my work after I took the class.

Hello everyone,
My name is Pedro and I took part of Gio’s Mastering Organic Modelling 2016 class. This was by far the best class that I ever had in my life and I encourage anyone, regardless of skill level, to take this class.
Not only will you have an opportunity to receive feedback and interact with one of the best artists in the industry but you will learn an insane amount of fundamentals and very useful tips. The class is awesome and I learned a ton with every new assignment and also by seeing what everyone else was doing. I can’t thank Gio and Mold3d enough for organizing it and I hope I can take more classes with Gio in the future!
Now onto my piece. The concept was mine and I developed it during the class and I’m really proud of it.
Hope you enjoy it as well.
Thank you,
Pedro

Hey everyone,
My name is Simon green and i recently took Gio Nakpils Mastering Organic Modelling class on Mold3D Winter 2016,
If you are debating whether to take this class in the future i would say definitely go for it, it is a fantastic class teaching many valuable concepts of traditional sculpture in the digital realm.
Its really opened my eyes to approaching sculpting and i have to say a great thanks to Gio and Mold 3D for the generosity of Sharing this insight, I cant wait to implement it in future work!
Aside form the great course content another aspect is the hidden Facebook page where students share their work, which is an awesome place for seeing everyone develop and you can really see the effects of the class concepts.
Sign up and you wont regret it,
Have a good day people!

Hi all, I’m James Sumner III and I had the pleasure of taking the spring 2016 Master Organic Modeling with Gio. I’ve learned a ton and second ALL the effusive praise by the other students above. I’ll add that Gio’s focus (slight spoiler?) on hierarchies and intersections of form gives the course a classical bent that echoes traditional sculpture training in a truly AWESOME way. A superlative course with assignments and feedback that always challenge you to go further!
My character is Goron Link from the Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (favorite game!).
A textured and rigged version ended up being the centerpiece of my recent rigging/generalist reel !
Hello everyone. My name is Quincy Vadan. I attended the winter 2015 term of Gio’s Mastering Organic Modeling class and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The best thing about the class was how Gio teaches you how to approach building your sculptures. This is something that he broke down into simple steps that you can understand and apply to every single organic sculpture that you do. Since starting my journey in ZBrush I have taken many online classes, but this one gave me the tools I needed to level up, and I truly feel that my skill level has risen since taking this class. Highly recommended to anyone serious about getting better at ZBrush

Hi Everyone,
My name is Hafiz, and I’m a Character Artist working in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I’m currently working in the game industry and have been in it for 6 years.
This is my work for Gio’s modelling class based on an amazing concept by Carlos Huante’s Hag design.
Really enjoyed sculpting it out and exploring what her character would be like.
Thanks to Gio and the inspiring class of artists I was with who helped inspire each other with their weekly w.i.p. Gio is a master at what he does best and it’s reflected quite clearly by the results.
Cheers,

Hello everyone! I’m Carol Cornils (3D Artist at Behaviour Interactive, Santiago) and this is the Sphinx that I modeled for the last run of Gio’s class. It´s based in a concept from Lissa Treiman.
I had a great time working on it!
The class is intense, focused on art and the personalized feedback is great. I’m very happy with the results and the huge boost it meant for me.
Hope you like it!

Hello all,
I was also part of this amazing class. Everything from teaching to feedback was spotless; I highly recommend it.
It was also great to see everybody grow through the weeks.
Here is the creature I designed and sculpted during the course of the class:
I really enjoyed learning from Gio and seeing all the great work the other students were putting together. I had the option of using some great concept art to use for my final model but instead, I chose to go with an original design. This is the result. Thanks to Gio for the amazing learning opportunity and to Pixologic for showing such support of us!
