"Is this some kind of bust?" - my zbrush works

@Regnas - Thank you :smiley:

@mix_mash - Thanks Paul, really appreciate the comment and I completely agree! I’ll be going back to the sculpt later to see if I can improve the pose, I had good fun with it, but I got beaten by the time restraint in the end I think. :smiley:

nice modeling, but the pose is too stiff, try to get more ref, how to pose a nice pose it will help a lot to present your artwork =D cheerss

Awesome Top row, James. Really nice work. Seem like groundhog day over here though with people repeating the same crit over and over. :roll_eyes:

Super cool! Love the sets with characters :+1:
Good lighting too!

@raychung94 - Thanks for the feedback! :wink:

@Polyjunky - Cheers Francis! :smiley:

@Takai - Thanks man, always appreciate your comments! :+1:

Here’s the 2nd version of my Emily Kaldwin sculpt along with some bust sketches of Preacher characters I’ve been doing recently.

I really love your renders. Thanks for showing your lighting set up. Can you tell me what material you use and the settings? I’d love to know. :smiley:

Hey Black-Tooth glad you like the renders! For materials I mostly use a plastic (transparent) material in Keyshot and play with the roughness setting until i get something I like so nothing special really. I think getting the lighting right is the key to a good ‘clay’ render in Keyshot.

Fantastic!

Here’s a print of my Saint of Killers sculpt, printed using Shapeways High Definition Acrylate material and finished in metallic black.

a good thing turned out

Pallegina from Pillars of Eternity- Zbrush and Keyshot

A project I rescued after languishing half completed on my hardisk for a few months. I’m pretty much a noob with textures and UV’s so it was a good opportunity to learn some new stuff!

Hi all, just wanted to update my thread with some professional work I’ve been up to over the past year. I’ve been working in the miniatures industry here in the UK for several different clients who have been really good fun to work with. It’s been a great opportunity for me to learn lots about working as a freelancer to strict deadlines with creative briefs and limited concept art. For all of these projects Zbrush has been the primary tool both for sculpting and cutting up and producing the print ready models. Since scale master was introduced it’s also been so much easier to produce the models consistently to the right scale, something I found difficult at first before.

First up is Shattered Earth for which I worked on 2 factions. This was my first pro job in the industry…

The Firm for Drowned Earth - I loved sculpting the slightly cartoony style on these! Also the Gorilla with a supersledge was a blast :smiley:
