Stephen Babb's Sketchbook - Alien Cyborg

This is as far as I’m going tonight. I’ll finish up the paint tomorrow. Changed the eyes and muted the bright pink, along with a bunch of minor details - still a ways to go!

Any advice or comments are much appreciated :slight_smile:

I think I’m done with this for now. Although, I may change the tips of some of the facial tentacles to be like the large facial tentacles with the darker tips, that purplish fade. Should I pose him or just leave it how it is?

Comments/Advice?

I don’t think you need advices at this stage, creature concept is looking very good. Do you want to show the rest of the body?

JuanVal - “I don’t think you need advices at this stage, creature concept is looking very good. Do you want to show the rest of the body?”

Thank you for the kind words. Sure! Here is the rest of the body from various angles. Thanks again for stopping by and checking out my work :slight_smile:

Liking the render:+1: , but missing the smooth silvery luminious translucent and semi transparent fluid jellyfish type appeal of the first one posted…That first one reminded me of deep sea or deep space creatures as they sparkle when appearing in the light from totall darkness…has that other world floaty mystery about it with smooth uninterupted flow and rhythm in it’s form…Sometimes less is better than more…Less leaves more for the imagination of the viewer to work it’s own magic to fill in the gaps so to speak…:slight_smile: Just my personal opinion though.
Keep up the Great work…:+1:

Looks really unique, you really need to start posting more pieces of your work. :D:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:

I like your style

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words!

These pieces are mostly WIP’s. I am working on the Insect Creature and the Lizard Man - kind of jumping back and forth between them. The Lizard man is being done during my 15 minute breaks at work, and when I get a chance during lunch after I eat. The patterns are just symmetry fun :smiley:

Hi,

thing,too.
Keep going!

SpiritDreamer - Thank you Sir! :wink:

mnmava - Hey Mike, thank you for commenting. I still appreciate the techniques and time you took to help me get started with ZBrush. You inspired me - thanks man! Hopefully one day I do get really good - practice makes perfect :slight_smile:

hosch - Thanks hosch!

jmeyer - Thank you. Glad you liked them! I will keep going :smiley:

Sweet updates Stephen, well done :slight_smile: are you working with Z-Spheres? you could try a few dynamic poses with the lizard Man…

Thanks! Yes, I originally made the Lizard Man and the Insect with ZSpheres, but had converted them so I could sculpt on them (removed the ZSpheres). I’ll have to use transpose to pose them now. In the future I’ll change my process. I have learned a lot over the last few weeks about workflow. I still need to work on that though :wink:

Trying to get the hang of transpose - awesome tool!

Very nice! He’s coming to life! he could be great as a 3d print too :wink:

Awsome artwork, I extremely love the first cyborg one.

Thank you for your advice earlier, and i love your artwork. keep going.

Nick - Not sure how far I’m going to take him. Might start back up on the insect creature. I wish I could afford to make a print :wink: One day!

Comrade420 - Thanks Comrade. Glad you liked the alien cyborg :slight_smile:

Did a bit of work on this guy last night. Still need to add the feet, stinger, and finish the texturing. I also plan to pose him as well.
