Just finished working on ITV’s Newzoids. Its a satirical puppet show starting on Wednesday this week.
I worked from designs supplied by a caricaturist called Mike Giblin who drew the characters to a very specific design style.
The zbrush models were then 3D printed and assembled as rod puppets. The mouths are added digitally later.
I turned around 82 caricatures over 4 months
It should be a giggle

Hi Zbrushers,
Ive just come off a three month job and I hate being inactive. When I have a gap in my schedule I like to make practice pieces.
As I often get private messages asking how I create my scale patterns on all things reptilian…I have decided to become more active on my own thread by showing work in progress of my latest project.
I hope you find this information useful
Thanks…Peter
Nice bit of process there Pete!

Nice work Pete
Wow, great work! The amount of details for the tortoise is unbelievable! How’d you create that glossiness look and slimy look on the shell, though? And what about the eyes? thanks. This thread is so intriguing !!
Terrific tortoise! Very clean, though: must have just gone for a dip and washed off all its dust!
When I’m painting masks, I like to paint it into polypaint, instead of relying on the masks. This way seems more reliable, stable to me; and painting black on white gives me a better look at the errors in my mask. Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Can you please tell me the techniques you used to “texture” the tortoise? Did you images and projected them onto the tortoise or did you simply use polypaint? How did you make it so realistic?
I tried to use spotlight projection and it turned out to be horrible. And is there a way to “pick” a colour from the spotlight image and simply paint with that colour?
Thanks

When I had a DT subscription this was one of my favorites. It’s a great tutorial, and creating the armature is helpful for blocking out shapes.
I recommend watching the entire video, Peter has a great speaking voice and is a very calm teacher.
