Star Wars May the 4th ZBrush Event

Hello everyone! By May the 4th, I managed to make only the basic concept of the Oracle, one of the most awesome ideas that never made it into the final cut of the “Rise of Skywalker” , a wizened and inhuman alien creature that helps guide Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren to the Sith planet Exegol. The Oracle was a symbiotic spider-legged monster living inside of and deriving its knowledge/power from the head of a giant, sleeping baby in the middle of a volcanic swamp.

«A giant emerged, a hairless creature sheening with wetness, bits of lake detritus clinging to its pasty skin. Its eyes were squeezed shut, but it could still see after a fashion, because draped over its massive bald head and across one shoulder was a second creature with long spidery tentacles. The two were locked in symbiosis. Kylo sensed the giant’s pain, as though it were a slave to the spidery being that clung to it. Yet neither could it survive alone.»

Just wanted to throw my ZBrush star wars work into the mix. None of it is new, but still holds up I guess. Not sure if I’ve ever posted some of it.

Hello, here’s my submission. I made it entirely in Zbrush, and I think I did a good job with the time i had (I only decided to do something for this challenge after half of April was over). While I’d say I know a lot about ZBrush, the frequent pivoting and problem-solving with this project felt like i was running through a forest, weaving between the trees and not caring if I had good form or was running efficiently, just focusing on getting from point A to point B. It was fun though, and I feel like i learned a lot.ZBrush May 4th Challenge R2-D2

May the 4th be with you

Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I’m a noob at posting here so bear with me. :slight_smile:
Here’s my take at the one and only Darth Jar Jar.
I was going with the my take on the what would have been the originally intended reveal transformation.
Unfortunately, it’s still a bit of a wip, so the presentation might not be top notch, but I hope you guys like it.
All the sculpting was done in ZBrush, cloths part Marvelous part ZB, textures painted in zbrush (oldschool) material/shaders in blender as well as rigging and renders.
It’s a real-time model, so I intend to put it into unreal at the end.
Hope you like it guys and bring on the CnC! :wink:
And of course, may the 4th be with you!
