i’ve started LINE’s sculpt
hope you will like the first steps
[
](javascript:zb_insimg(‘138230’,‘WIP_LINE03.jpg’,1,0))It seems like you´re having a serious problem : you are addicted, YONA!
You can´t stop sculpting and painting. You´re crazy but – good for us!
Great start on Line – looks very promising…erm, but honestly … she is not as hot as grandma of course.
Very funny, I really like the characters personality.
what? me??? addicted???
NOOOOOOOO…
anyway, here’s an update of LINE…HAHHAHAHA
man, you need to understand that it’s raining outside…and as i can’t go home i’ve nothing else to do but Zbrushing
i’ve spent this afternoon struggling with LINE… i wasn’t very proud of her face but i couldn’t say why…so i’ve decided to watch more closely my reference and i saw that she was to skinny… so i’ve rounded up the face by modifying her cheeks, mouth and chin… I’ve changed the shape of her eyes too… she looked like a frog with her big eyes…if you look my last update even if it’s subtle, you’ll see that she has changed a lot and look more “fresh” and pretty… and maybe tomorrow i’ll think that she is ugly so i’ll have to retake her
And i’ve almost finished the hairs…i’ve made my first own alpha and it helps a lot!!!..big step for YONA, man… (poor little boy :rolleyes:)
I LOVE ZBRUSH!!
i can say at 98% that i won’t have time any more till next monday to sculpt (except for comments in your thread )…yes, yes you can belive me…or my future wife is going to kill me :evil:
hope you’ll enjoy the update!! see you soon

](javascript:zb_insimg(‘138264’,‘WIP_LINE04.jpg’,1,0))Hey man, the changes on Line are very good! She’s pretty! Congrats on … making your very first alpha !
!
hey Etcher, thanks for… my very first alpha…
It’s amazing how many things i’ve still have to learn on this soft…
Yesterday, i’ve tried to work with subtool master to see what will be my problems with all the characters in the same scene… and my god… i don’t know how i’m going to do…
I just wanted to say that… because of you Yona, I have created a Zbrush Central account, purchased Zbrush and I am currently knee deep in referance material (Tree’s are dyin…) Your work has inspired me to learn more about this software after mulling for over a month of weither or not I should go ahead and purchase. Know that it has been your work that inspired me above everyone elses… I have bookmarked this thread and I look forward to seeing how this goes.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Regards,
Jack
Taddaaaaa: Belated congrats for your first custom alpha.
Now you should think hard about which day will be the best in your life…
the day you made your first alpha or the day of your wedding ??
I know - bad joke ( it´s very late here in Germany so pardon me. )
I read that you tried something with the SubTool-Master …and that you don´t know how to do it.
What do you mean excactly?
Problems with SubTool-Master itself, or something else?
I´m really curious how you´ll get them all together in ONE scene …not to mention the bus. :eek:
Hi Cédric! Here’s a toast to the newly weds! Congrats to you and your wife! !
Very nice, the designs remind me of a time when animation, and games were actually good.
hello guys!!!
Back in the game!!
Now that i’m a new man i feel a new energy inside of me! you’ll have updates all the time (what? i already update my thread too much???)
No updates today, because , come on guys ,few hours ago i was pretty drunk…
Jackal911 : Thank you so much for your kind words… It’s always important to know that your work inspires somebody…that why we do that no? i hope that my work will be good enough so that you won’t be disapointed
If you need any help or advices, just ask me… for ZB or xsi…what ever you want!!! but don’t forget that ZB is just a tool drawing is so important!!
Moni : Thank you guy for the alpha and the wedding
In fact my main problem is to bring all the character in one scene in order to make their poses… for Example Martin wil be up on ENZO’s shoulders… so i’ll have to use transpose for ENZO, than use subtool master in order to make one tool that i’ll have to put In MARTIN’s subtools…Than i’ll be able to make all the contacts…i’ll have to use the same technique for each
character…
If you know a better way to do that…i’m listening!!
Etcher : thank you so much man! i heard that you had so many troubles during the week end… i wish you all the best and hope that things will be better soon!
Zicarious : HAHAHA… so you think that there’s currently no interesting designs? anyway, thank you so much for your support. But you put a huge pressure on me
I’ll have to work a lot in order to no dissapoint you!
ok guys i’ll see you tomorrow night for a new update of LINE.
As i go to Lyon to see my students during 2 days, i’ll have time between Tuesday and wednesday to work on her!
see you guys!
No updates today? Whaaaaaaaat? :eek: :eek: :eek:
But it´s ok – your wedding is a good excuse.
CONGRATULATIONS – you are married now.
All the best to you and your wife!
Regarding your future Zbrush plans – I don´t know what you mean by
“than use subtool master in order to make one tool that i’ll have to put In MARTIN’s subtools…Than i’ll be able to make all the contacts…i’ll have to use the same technique for each
character…”
Do you mean that you are going to merge for example MARTIN and his clothes with SubTool master so he´s only one tool and you´re able to append him to ENZO then and them (and repeat this technique for all the others) ?
Sounds like a lots of work. Unfortunately I hve no other idea.
Don´t forget to use the Transpose Master Plugin for the posing.
And here´s a link to a cool tutorial which shows how to pose multiple SubTools using Transpose Master (in case you didn´t see it before)

hey Moni
That’s exactly what i want to do…but i wasn’t very clear.
And yes i’m gonna use Transpose master. I used it for Antoine in the forest! it was so hard at the begining and so fun at the end…
after few sketches, the posing for each character is decided. I think that the biggest problem will come from MARTIN and LINE who will be 1/ on ENZO’s shoulders 2/ supported against ENZO. I’ll have to redo some folds due to all the contacts between the three characters…
for GUIDO and MIA there’s no interactions with the others charcters…
GRANDMA has her hand on ELVIS’s head but it’s not a problem because ELVIS won’t have more than 2 subtools. So i’ll be able to put ELVIS, as a subtool, inside GRANDMA’s scene.
Anyway, as i have sculpt all the characters in a T pose, i’ll have to retake all of them. Again i know, that next time, i won’t do a project with so many characters like that. big lesson for me
haha…sorry I didnt mean to sound so jaded. I didnt mean that their are no interesting designs, there are, just not in games or movies. So many times I come across a great design of an enviroment or a character and I think, that should be in a movie. Most entertainment that is pumped out are just rehash of old ideas, especially in their designs. Take THIS for example, fantastic film, how many times was this design redone in todays games, and concept art pieces. That design is from 1991, I mean their was a time when alot of new thing that came out were exciting, and I dont mean too long ago.
Your designs remind me of that not too distant past, when Miyazaki wasnt over designing his characters.
Anyways, 5 stars from me, and I would love to see more.
Gratz on being a new man
Hope u had good weather.
Zicarious as for games its terrible at the moment.
Way too big companys with maximum profit as goal dominate the market.
Every single one of them has forgotten that “form follows function”!!
The gameplay in most games is horrible!
They seem to think that uber awesome graphics will distract from lack
of inovation or well made game mechanics.
The bad thing is it seems to work even in the times of the internet being
a pirate heaven they get decent sale numbers.
The only producer i still love is valve. They have inovativ designs
rather than adding a million folds and wrinkles they publish a game
thats entirely cell shaded. Game mechanics are also best.
To come back to your work yona ur doing it right.
You dont add a million wrinkles but still it looks a million times better
thank you so much for your kind words Zicarious and Disco!
it’s motivating!! i’d like to work on that too: http://www.cgcoach.com/beta/index.php
Thanks Moni for this link !!
But for now, to be honest im a bit tired
i wanted to work on LINE tonight…but…pffff no energy…sorry
Heho YONA
Sleep sleep sleep -and then enter the contest… and sleep only two hours a day.
Fair deal, eh?
I have still nooo idea for my concept. Bah! I´m so uncreative.
Please borrow me 1% of your creativity.
Really hope you´ll participate.
That would be so cool to have more ZBC members there.
Just replying to Disco Stu. I worked in the games biz for 15 years and I totally agree with you.
Cool Moni!!
let’s do our best!
I’m gonna work on LINE tomorrow and try to design something for the contest next saturday… i’d like to do something funny
If you want me to help you just ask!! whate ever you need!
