Jack's Sketchbook

[Jack_Niederer]

Hi everyone! I finished my degree recently and wanted to join the community as a way to help maintain my learning. I’m starting this sketchbook thread to give me a place post my bits and pieces, and seek critique. I’ll start with these two which I rendered last week.

This is a likeness study of Captain Mifune from the second two Matrix films. Grey version (using zbro_Realtime_Gray matcap) is the final zbrush sculpt. I then stacked texturing xyz displacement textures on in Maya/Vray which I painted in Mari. And also remade the hair using curves in xgen for the final render.

This second one is a likeness study of Vickie from 3d.sk. Same process as Mifune - although for the eyebrows I used the curves from fibermesh as a my base in xgen and tweaked/added to them from there. These two characters have been my first experience with this workflow and taking a sculpt to this level of completion. More: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eeBnb

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on this Cara Delevingne project for ~40 hours now. Moving onto clothing and scene stuff for the next couple of weeks, but will be doing a solid final pass on the body/bust before the project is over - so I’d really like some feedback if anyone has time.

Another stage. Still WIP, but moving on to other bits and pieces to give myself fresh eyes when I come back. Feedback welcome. (basic v-ray render)
