I like your style

#22

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:

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…

#29

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 Yes, I originally made the Lizard Man and the Insect with ZSpheres, but had converted them so I could sculpt on them (removed the ZSpheres).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:

#30

Trying to get the hang of transpose - awesome tool!

#32

Awsome artwork, I extremely love the first cyborg one.

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

#33

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:

#34

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.

#36

Nice Sketchbook. You’ve got some interesting subject material there with great execution.

#37

Thanks AR-MAN and Ulysses1984! I appreciate the comments :slight_smile: I am working on finishing up the Insect Creature. Hope to have him up soon.

#38

I finally got him posed! Really enjoying the tools in ZBrush and all the options to get something done. The forums here are a great learning resource - thanks to everyone for the tutorials and continuous inspiration :slight_smile:

Excellent update Stephen, the insectoid guy in all its glory! what I would suggest to you is to try a bit harder on a light rig that will show off all your modeling/texturing work even better. This creature is truly great piece for your reel!

#40

Thanks :slight_smile:

I do need to work on my lighting skills in general. I feel it is one of my weaker areas right now. I used this project to learn how to adjust the lights in ZBrush, so I think I will be able to do better as I create more models and more projects. Practice, practice, practice!
