Makin' Troll

Hey all, i’ve been away from 3D for a few years and decided I have to start doing things again on this thing to make a living lol so I started studying again 3D and am experimenting some skills.

I just started doing this troll a few minutes ago, it’s really early on but I’m definetely inspired to finish this asap. I got a human basemesh from ZBC. I’ll continue to give updates during this week!

Ya its too early…Bt anyways…Keep it up… :wink: :+1:

Okay here is a little update on the anatomy, going to work on the arms now, I think the torso area looks about right for now!

Nice, looks like Scott Patton’s creature from Gnomon’s video tutorial.

Hey I’ve been working on the head for a few minutes and it is coming out I hope :smiley:

I did some fixing on his shoulders, lowered them a bit because they were to squared and too high on his body, also done a little detailing on the muscles, after I give a little more detail to the head I’ll come back to the body for more refinement! I’m also going to take some teeth out at the end because well, trolls don’t go to the dentist that much I think.

Suggestions are also welcome!

I’d sharpen up the canine teeth a bit more than you would for a human character, since trolls and the like are more feral and barbaric. Also, if you’d like a good reference for bad teeth, I found this image.

I’d raise his head up just a bit to lengthen the neck and give him that big bull-like neck you see on characters like the Hulk. I don’t know if you’re going to give him ears or a nose (there are various depictions of any fantasy creature), but if you do, I’d highly recommend retopology after you get their major forms sculpted in so you can pack in some detail in those areas. Looks good so far, keep working on it.

Hey after a while I came back to this, I’m really motivated now, and after starting any skin detailing or anything further I decided to try some poses just to see where I will have to work on like clothing and all that.

My initial though is to make it trying to get out of chains that will be attached to the poles back there. Also make him with a lot of armor, to look like he was just captured.

Thanks everyone!
