getting to know amphibians more and more, with another study doodle

zsphere base, movetopo, dynamesh, claybuildup, inflate, damstandard
no polypaint
4 parts: tongue, slime, toad, toadeyes (just basic spheres)
maybe 1.5mil points total… not that many

“After the Shaven Cat had carefully observed the Tiny Salamander during his sunbath, and decided that salamanders were strange creatures, she strolled on to find more amphibians.
When she saw Mr. Toad, the Shaven Cat just could not resist but had to taste his deliciously wart covered skin.
She had a lick, then two, then some more, after which, and without further thought about ambhibians, she gracefully floated towards her favorite catnip bush to spend the evening there, philosophicly contemplating on the strange animals in her kingdom.
Meanwhile, Mr.Toad hopped into a nearby pond.”

(Disclaimer:
To recreate this important scene we asked Janet from accounting to make her cat lick a toad, to our surprise and filling our hearts with sorrow though we have to report that the cat ate all 27 toads we offered her without prior licking.
So we had Janet lick the last toad we had, for some reason she ate it too after licking the skin. Her cat was dead the next day but Janet still keeps giggling to this day and mumbles much about unicorns, we, really real scientists at Orphitecktion Labs, renown for our integrity, assume the loss of her shaven cat did not affect her in a negative way and we keep continuing our important work to save mankind, and you dear reader.)

-the semi-daily doodle
-female head bust with some fibermesh
-ears are meh, slightly too high, not protrouding enough

“Since Janet still did not stop giggeling and talking about unicorns we decided to fire her.
In lieu of the sudden void in accounting, and there is much to account for, trizillions, we started work on baking a new Janet, we want to call her 2.0 but the Einwohnermeldebehörde, which has to sign the name of clones, says this is not a real name. Therefore we will call her Janet for now while we work on changing the legislation.”

“Work on our accountant continues, Janet 2.0 has advanced into mark 2.1 stage.
Currently Orphitecktion Labs is working hard to implement artificial intelligence into Janet’s clone.
We already had promising visits from the interior minister of an undisclosed european country,
who showed interest in the methods applied to subdue Janet’s free will,
and effectively turn her into the smoothly operating mashine, which every peasant, every citizen,
and especially every employee of Orphitecktion, should be.”

nighttime doodle… that kinda went a bit further than anticipated >.<

“P.U.R.Z.E.L. and the Baroness of Floppy were a team, she had skinned the Krak’h puppy alive during her reign on Helios-9F. Had turned it into a fluffy, crimson red suit of scientific glory. Furthermore did the Baroness use the forbidden, dark magic of long forgotten aeons to enchant her suit with the wit and soul of the once fierce puppy, to keep her company during lonely nights, and boring spacetrain rides. And so the pair travelled the worlds and stars of the outer rim.”

kinda just went with the last work and buildt on that

“During her travels the Baroness Of Floppy met Grimhilde, fair maiden of the south, besieged by a horde of angry nutria from south america.
Together they braved the onslaught and emerged victorious.
The Baroness proceeded to fashion Grimhilde a suit of nutria fur, enchanted with the soul of the slain beast, just as she had done with her very own P.U.R.Z.E.L. suit.
They went out into the wilderness soon after, to take on the perils of Helios-9F, as the mighty Fluffy Gals, Beaver and Bunny.”

afternoon anatomy doodle

and changes needed:

-most notably probably the ears are too far back
-skull could be up a bit higher
-cheekbone needs slight adjustment, also feels a bit too hollow
-upper lip curved wrong (depth and vertically)
-eyebrows down for more neutral expression

Bust_2017_E01_ed.jpg

i continued from the last bust doodle, with basicly the intended changes and some more here and there, like more voluminous lips and deeper, more vertikal eye/cheek area, etc

-added some basic polypaint, i usually use the claybrush with colour spray with and scattered alpha, and also a very low rgb value (2-10% opacity) to even out the sprays variation
-less sub surface scattering on skin
-different, more shiny, inner eye material
-higher subD (2,5mil… whats that even? zb always says points, is it polies or vertices or voxels or somin? i assume vertices right?)

-i dislike layers in ZB, the interface and occasional bugging out are annoying to me personally in my very personal opinion that only i have
-iris is probably too large
-neck area needs refinement
-forgot depth render
-eyebrows?
-fibermesh hair… …thats fricking hard for long hair imo -.- gotta try harder!

what do you guys and gals think? is this proportionally or anatomicially correct or do i overlook something important again? i know i do, do you too? test your knowledge and let me know. thanks. :slight_smile:

-clavicle area bad
-eye colour not enough gradient/noise

E02B01 Nina
-skin hue off
-temple is a just flat disc
-clavicle area bad
-eye colour too bright, not enough gradient/noise

E02C01 Juliana
+sexy lips
-eyes too far out/ sockets too far in (too much of eyes sides visible)
-skull dome too low/forehead shape
-eyesockets slightly too round
-clavicle area bad
-eye colour not enough gradient/noise

when your anatomy study doodeling gets a bit boring and you need a change


"Orphitecktion Fashion Advise:

Get rid of that filthy hair that only got drenched in monster salive until now.
Saliva and other slime simply drools down a bald head instead of sticking to hair.
Reduce the danger of suffocating at night because you swallowed your long hair.
Why would you have hair when you can wear a stylish tentacle monster instead!
Shave today and improve your life by nearly 90%."

mostly doing studies currently to improve my skillset,
its strange, i just wanted to have a nicer cape in TES Oblivion… retexturing didnt help so i buildt one… then i wanted other stuff so i buildt that…
coming from a CAD engineering background ive never been into drawing or modelling people all that much, guns and swords or buildings allright,
but by now i made a trizillion heads just trying to say to myself, yeah dude, now you can do heads, wtf, guess im addicted, and no, i still cant do heads sufficently for my taste meh…

Twins
</header> "To replace Janet, our former accountant, one of the scientists down in the Orphitecktion Labs, had the wonderful idea to create twins, instead of a single accountant.

Something in the gene smelter went wrong however.
They were not what we had in mind when we envisioned a pretty and efficent accountant.
We put them down before their bodies could be completed, yet the staff started, empathicly, calling them Poodle and Merkin for their funny hairstyles and it was a sad day for everyone involved in project Janet 2.0."

Not Janet!

“We made sure our scientists would not create another pair of blueish twins in the mislead thought these could be a suitable replacement for Janet, our former accountant.
However, that did not stop the dutiful genetic engineers to continue their quest.
Nevertheless, we still have only failure to show for our effort, not even sure we can call it progress, at least the newest addition to the fail list is not blue.”
