I am really liking this 1 hour time restriction to my sculpts as I definitely feel like I am developing more quickly.

Did this one last night from a sphere.

Hi salki,

Wonderful… so expressive & dynamic.

Yes, working quickly is certainly working for you. I’ve always felt – in any medium – it both frees and engages the mind in very powerful ways.

There is a tendency to grind in 3DCG, even 3D sculpting. Grind long and hard enough and one stops seeing.

Less is More.

Best Wishes,
Darrel

Another 1 hour “From Stone” study done at work.

Took a break from the stylized character and sat down for a bit last night to play around with spotlight. I will probably retopologize this guy and add more detail to his surface (pores etc) as I think this could eventually be a cool piece. Perhaps “Marv” from Sin City?

Another 1 hour sculpt I did for lunchcrunch.blogspot.com - check them out if you haven’t already.

Thx! I completely agree with the sketches ability to release ones mind creatively speaking.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything! This is what i’ve been chugging along on recently, its for DWV. This is Lidon - The God of Judgement. I still have to finish his weapon and texture him.

Here is an update for his weapon.

Got inspired by the Lunch Doodlers over at SOE.

Another sketch - took it a bit further - gonna play with it in maya for a bit after I add more elements to the model / finish texturing.

I made a character matrix that randomly generates characteristics. The roll that brought Kush (Kush Kush!) to life was: Male , Stone Age, Late Adult, Sneaky, Warrior, Backpack. Confused? I was too, but this is what I came up with – his “sneakyness” will come down to the pose and scene he is rendered in. Check back on Kush (Kush Kush!) soon!

nice work keep going man :slight_smile:

Looks cool! How does the character matrix work?

Thanks! The character matrix is an excel spreadsheet i’ve setup in Google Docs. I have 5 or 6 columns of possible outcomes (Gender, Era, Age, etc). The spreadsheet is coded to randomly choose one from each column and output it into a results area. I just mash the delete button (randomizes the choices) and roll with whatever it lands on.

Another 1 hour lunch sketch. Used the character matrix again - what luck I get an old wizard…

Took another lunch hour and made some adjustments, more details, and a poly paint. Any suggestions? I know it’s only a sketch but pointers are always good.
