Weekly Sketch Group(Topic#6 - 1 of 10 Popular Mythical/Fantasy Creatures)

Pride, I’ll also be giving out free computers, personal jets and a whole box of taffy.

Orkan, I’m really liking the goblin (and the frequent updates!). His thighs look a little thick to me from front angle but maybe he just does a lot of walking.

Malo, glad those images helped you out! You’re starting all over again or just reworking the front legs?

The new topic is up but this one is still running until May 27th, so no rush.

The new challenge is to give human characteristics to a reptile, amphibian or crustacean from the list of ten that I have posted.

You can find the new challenge…

So I’ve had a bit of a splintering of ideas here, on one hand I like to think of him as about 18" tall, on the other hand archetype kinda decrees what he should look like and be equipped with. I know everybody just cringed at that sentence but it is the ironic truth. So here are some quick paint overs whilst I ponder. I would really appreciate feedback as to which direction you would personally would like to see this go. …I’m well aware how unattractive both of these look lolz

@Orkan. I think because of the skin color, the classical way fits better to your goblin.
@Dribble. I´m rebuilding the entire eagle parts. Hope finish them as soon as i have some free time this night.

OMG:

relevant because it seems to be a griffin.
loved SOTC and ICO.

Awesome find! I’ve been waiting for Team ICO to come out with something new.

okay so had some time on lunch break to work on this guy, added some armor and a beatin stick let me know what you think.
kinda getting bored with him and afraid I’m crossing into over worked territory quickly. might be time to work on my croco-human

Nice! That looks great Orkan!

I like the beatin stick.

So, after rebuilding the topology, this is the farest i can take this buddy with my Zbrush skills. It´s my first Zbrush sculpt, when i first acquire it was for fun. Actually i´m made video for living. Couple of months back, i´m seriously thinking make 3D for real. Any comments, critics and such, are more than welcome. See you on the next thread.

Orkan hope to see these days your goblin finished. But i think with just a little more details it´s done.

Orkan- wow great little guy there.
malo thats a great start, mostly you just need to copy some anatomy to the rest of the body.
troy, i really love this, the way the forms are so bold and blocky, like a rockdragon, its a nice change from the smooth scaly types we have seen much of late. troy one thing i seem to point out to you all the time, lol, is that the position of the eyes speak of the type of animal, having the eyes at the sides as you do speaks more of an herbivore or scavenger than a hunter, but i guess by design dragons might need more horse based position as you’ve done, hmm have to think about that…
dribble- any updates?

troy, very nice! I like the shapes a lot.

here’s an update on the troll. pretty much done with it i think.

hope you like it.

very good work! i like the ambiance of your scene !

StefanH - great update mate :smiley: really good job

really nice outcome Stephan, i love it

Troy and Stephan, those are both really impressive. I need to learn so much more about zbrush and I really hope I can get to that high of a skill level.
Everyone here has a great amount of skill…

I can’t wait until my internet gets set up at my new place so I can jump back into sketching every week.

hey space i was trying to go for more of a structured look… yeah i don’t know why i was seeing him that way in my head i will try to pay more attention to that in the future…:wink:

hey StefanH thank you... i really love your out come of your rock troll you did a really great job on it..looking forward to your next piece...:D thanks Dribble i think speaking for most people here that have been doing it for a while it just takes dedication and practice.. really you would be amazed how far you will come in a couple of months or even weeks im training some people now and they have come a long ways from where they were but there also very determined and driven to learn zbrush.. but im sure you will increase rapidly once you get the hang of what your tools do and how to use them.. but i think the best advice i got when i was first starting out is work on the structure first and try to work lower subdivisions first.. and also the one word we all know practice a lot of practice..;)

is it possible to still participate? i want to try the troll

if i can’t, can i still post the result here?
