Hi everybody,

Long time viewer of the fabulous Zbrush central and first time poster. I’ve been learning Zbrush after work for the past few months and thought I would post up some of the aliens and creatures I have been working on. Appreciate feedback.

This guy was my first attempt at an alien. A sort of human, mantis, horse and a dinosaur all mixed together. Sculpted in brush and rendered from various Zbrush exports in photoshop.

This guy was my second alien. I wanted to experiment with poly painting so I chose to give the guy some yakuza/tribal tattoos and posed him throwing up a gang sign with attitude filled head tilt. Sculpted in brush and rendered from various Zbrush exports in photoshop.

Here is “Old man Cyclops”. I tried to take a break from aliens and make a classic creature from mythology. He is supposed to represent a cyclops that has been living in the cave on some remote Greek island for about 300 years. Sadly, I think he also looks like an alien but c’est la vie. Sculpted in brush and rendered from various Zbrush exports in photoshop.

I had some time the last couple days and made this fantasy dinosaur. Feedback welcome.

Looks like it would fit into the world of “Pitch Black” really well.

Mikala,

Can’s say I didn’t look at that alien when I was gathering reference! I’ve always loved that design.
