Ronin by Ralph Sutter

Hey everyone!

I have started to work on the final project for my Zbrush class today. I thought I’d share a few WIP shots with you guys :slight_smile:

The character’s name is Ronin, and he lives in a futuristic Wild West setting. (I hope to include that into that the project.

Please let me know what you think so far! Any feedback would be appreciated! I will be updating regularly :slight_smile:

Hey guys!

I just finished doing some more basic sculpting and posing. The overall model still needs a lot of work, but this is where I am at now:

Please let me know what you think!

UPDATE:

I decided to totally repose the model before adding any more detail. This is what I have now :slight_smile:

I am pretty pleased with the overall pose, and I will start cleaning the model up (as some things def. need altering i.e. the fingers) before I begin detailing.

Let me know what you think!

I’m curious how you did the guns. When I tried doing a hard surface it came out awful

Looks greats so far though

I didn’t even bother trying to model those in Zbrush. I just made them as finished as possible in MAX :slight_smile: I might add some carved detail in Zbrush though.

How’s your project coming along?

Pretty good since I had to scrap the city scape since the models weren’t looking great. Can’t wait to see yours finished

Thanks!

I am looking forward to finishing this piece :stuck_out_tongue: I need a break…lol

Even though I know I’ll end up doing some more Zbrush stuff in-between semesters :stuck_out_tongue:

…Goddammit Ralph…

Well anyway Ronin looks pretty badass in zbrush. Nice posing, and his revolvers look freakin awesome! This’ll definitely be a final project worthy sculpt!

Thanks Tris! :slight_smile:

I am pretty happy with the way he is coming out :slight_smile:
Here’s a shot of him with the bronze matcap:

Hey guys,

I just wanted to share a quick color test with you :slight_smile:

The next update will be a pretty drastic pass on the overall detail of the model (fingers, cloth, facewrinkles, etc.)

Will post more soon!

Hey everyone!

I just spent a significant amount of time on the Ronin bust. After this I am going to finish up the work on the base (as this bust will be part of a statue)

Let me know what you guys think! Seriously, any feedback would be appreciated :slight_smile:

cool character design. watch out where his inner arm bends at the elbow. Getting some weird deformation there. Also when rendering, first double your document size, press the AA half button, redrop your tool, and then render. That will take care of the chunky edges you’e getting. Also the white background sucks the colors from your sculpture. Always stick with a darker background most of the time.

Thank you very much for the pointers! :slight_smile: Will definitely keep those in mind when I finish this thing up :slight_smile: I’ll post some more shots soon!
