Hi Guys! I’ve been a member of ZBrush Central for a while now, but this is my first thread, to share some of my work.

KATARINA - LEAGUE OF LEGENDS FAN ART

Despite I’m not a lol player (don’t kill me please) I love the design of the characters and I’ve been admiring the cinematics of lol that blur does since the begining so I wanted to do a character of lol in this case the sexy katarina which style marries between the concepts and the one of the cinematics.

Software used: Maya, ZBrush, Mari, VRay for Maya, Nuke.

The character is fulled rigged so I hope one day this is animated with a kickass combo

I wasn’t sure about the compression images so here I uploaded a hires image.

Does anyone know why I can’t see my image in the recently uploaded gallery?

[MJGHP_Artworks]

I think it’s because you didn’t create thumbnail.but sometimes it doesn’t save that even if you make one.just click on the edit post & choose “Go advance” then create another thumbnail.that will solve the problem.hope this can help you. (BTW great job on her clothes.keep it up.)

I was in love with the game presentations and the stunning work done on Nathan Drake of Uncharted 4 by Frank Tzeng, so I did this Fan Art following a next gen pipeline as much as I can inside Marmoset Toolbag.

I also did some expressions for a ‘future use’ of a wrinkle map.

I used: Zbrush, Maya, UvLayout, Mari, Photoshop and Marmoset Toolbag.

Hope you like it!

I share you a practice I did today of female face, I use as reference two beautiful females: Barbara Palvin & Emilia Clarke.

Hey, great work on your Nathan Drake fan art, gives me vibes from the first Uncharted in his look. But how you managed to get that high polygon count for the retopology? I’d love to know, 'cos that the current gen look. ^^

My humble guess is that you retopoed him with a somewhat low poly way by hand, subdivided once, shrinkwrapped and fixed quirkiness in the topology if needed… or? (:

EDIT: Oh, and he also has some cool asymmetric features, most notably his left eye is a bit lower than the right eye. That’s getting more interesting when retopologizing, right? Gotta know!

[RafaelJR]

Sorry for the late response, yes I started the high res in symetric mode, then I did the retopo not as low but not as dense as the final version, after the first pass of retopo I started to manually subdiving and making loops in areas where the deformation is strong.
Back in the HiRes I added the secondary shapes all in asymetric mode and back again to finish and clean the final topology. Not sure if I was clear.

yesterday’s practice of a human male face.

Just can’t stop zbrushing

[RafaelJR]

An anatomy I practice I did, hope you like it.

This is some pretty nice work, i really like that League of Legends piece, and the breakdown post is nice too, i always like seeing breakdown posts/step-by-step guides.

[RafaelJR]

Thanks Anthony, glad you like it, I had a lot of fun doing Katarina and the breakdowns.

A work I did on my free time, of this awesome series, really try to catch the feeling of the show and the likeness of the actor.

I used zbrush for the character modelling and sculpting and for the main roof, maya for the assets.

Texturized in Mari and Quixel, rendered in V-Ray and post in Photoshop.
