Sketchbook Part 2

very nice study! But he got an 8 pack. you got one row of abs to much. and the lower ones dont have a striation down the middle. nice work!

Thanks for the crit man, appreciated. Like I said, no reference, only from memory and knowledge of the human form, so anyhelp is thanked, seeing as I guess I am moving forward with this character too haha.

and where im going with this. a tribal.

Looking great Framedworld…:+1:
The one weak spot that stands out to me though, is the inside curve of the lower leg calf muscle on the leg that’s coming forward, should be lower than the outside calf muscle…creating that important opposing curve for that area of his leg…which in turn will create and add to the rhythm and flow of the gesture.
Also that kneecap and the muscles and tendons tying into it need to be expressed and defined further…Alot of weight and strain bearing down on that joint area…unless he’s floating or flying that is…:slight_smile:

I read that you sculpted this figure out from the mannequin.
I wonder if you can weld the fully functional hand mesh that comes with ZBRUSH 4 to the mannequin ?..I tried, but couldn’t figure out how to do it…Would be great to be able to get alot of defferent hand gestures going on with the mannequin.:slight_smile:
Anyway, enjoying the progress on this character of yours…Dynamic, and also a great memory exercise…:+1:

I’m not a pro or anything , so this is just my humble opinion … but … your model looks real good to me , the anatomy feels rather good despite a few minor obvious flaws ( I don’t have the skills to tell about the subtle ones ) but i like the overall flow of the curves … just … the triceps … the triceps looks weird a bit … the rest is really nice , so it strikes me even more … correct the triceps , it would complete an already good sculpt …

taken crits to heart

Okay so from the vid you can see I blocked in hair, hopefully this will complete the line of action from the three fourths view. We shall see. this memory crap is frustrating oy. But It is rewarding.

hoooo these were just minor adjustments , but it would have bothered a few people ^^ but it brought a more complete look to your model … and that’s good , it’s got something exciting that I kinda like … the pose is nice and so is the flow of shapes … would have been a shame not to push it further :wink:

Im no anatomy perfectionist, the model looks great, but the upper legs a little too beefy?

an update I’m doing referencing frazetta to create the body

still going with the pose, think Im finally satisfied with it. he’s going to be hit with a spear, or arrow, being throw/shot from another character ill do in the scene. might keep him nude, or do a thong, idk.

I made some corrections, but am no ready to post that image yet, so just look at this one for now,

wow it came a long way and looks even better now … you got something going now , I’m a mere hobbyist and I wish I could obtain such fluidity of shape … he deserves proper hands and face now , it has the potential to be something special … you’re a pro ?

Really digging the pose, looks like he just passed the finish line :+1:

fixing the face and such.

the veins on the triceps look oddly placed … and the hands dfinitely need refining … but it’s got potential , lot of …

hands are on hold, I know they need fixing. And the veins are randomly placed haha. and I’m not a pro yet, I’m graduating with my BFA in Animation next semester hopefully.

I have a blog now:

just saying

Base texture is done, THIS IS THE BASE TEXTURE. NOT THE FINAL TEXTURE.

this is just to cover him in skin like substance

I adjusted the proportions of his hands and feet and shoulders, and finished the hands.

And yes I’m toying with the idea of hair, we shall see.
