Sketchbook -Mantis-

looking good, the front of the torso and the hands in particular look great, I have a sneaking suspicion that these are the areas you’ve spent the most time refining :slight_smile:

I agree with Cloudrid3r on the tricep, the are where the innermost part of the long head of the tricep inserts into the scapula looks off. If I were to note any other parts of the anatomy that might be looking a little off, there are a couple of areas in particular:

  • the group of muscles in the scapular region looks random, no discernible teres major or flat plane of the infraspinatus. Not an easily discernible acromion process.
  • I can’t seem to find a good ulnar furrow on your lover arm. It looks almost like a big version of the extensor carpi ulnaris is wrapping over where the ulnar furrow would be, in a weird sort of wavy fashion
  • Might just be the perspective, but the mass off the tendon from the gastrocnemeus to the heel looks a little weird, mostly due to the thickness on the lateral side

hope that made some sense :slight_smile:

Loving the face blend shapes btw!

Thanks all and sorry for the late answer.
larsivar: I totally agreed with your comments, you’ve got a keen eye for anatomy, thanks for the comments.

Here is something totally different, I’m doing a workshop with Bryan Wynia and it is really great, you need to have a good understanding of Zbrush
if you want to take the most of it but it is definitly a workshop I recommend.
So here is what I produced for this workshop.
We had to make speedsculpt of 1hour each.
Than we did thumbnails research trying to explore as many avenue as we can.
Finally one of the speedsculpt I did was what I prefer the most, but thumbnailing was great and definitly something to do.
After that I took my sculpt, refined it and paint it.

Awesome sculpts! :+1: :wink:

Amazing sculpts!
And really well presented!
Great job :+1:small_orange_diamond:+1: !

Oustanding work. very inspiring sculptures :):+1:

Most of these sculpts look like they inhabit an aquatic world. Are they based off of any existing aquatic animals?

Thank you sculptor.zb, asecbrush, and Evan Gaugh.

CriticalHap, they are in fact based on aquatic animals, the goal was to illustrate creatures from H.P Lovecraft book, the shadow over Innsmouth.
They are described as fish/frog humanoid creature.
So I try to introduced fish and frog in them ;)

Super stuff!! Fishy guys are great.

Amazing work. Love the character design. Keep up the amazing work!

Fantastic thread! So many great sculpts.

Thank you DustyDeWD.

I made some tweak on it, changing the overall atmosphere and adding more contrast.
Here it is.

Thanks Silo, cascardi, Crevasse, and Etcher :wink:

Wetterschneider: It is not from this book but from Shadow Over Innsmouth, but it is indeed from Lovecraft universe :slight_smile:
I’m glad you recognized him, thanks.
