Medium Weekly Challenge

Sterling77

So I was thinking we should do a weekly challenge. 
Like you can do them all or one, whatever. we all get super busy..

STARTING MONDAY THE 19th
5 DAYS 5 SCULPTS
Mech Monday ( Mechs rock )
Tree Tuesday ( Trees are great and relaxing ) 
Worm Wednesday ( Dune or Tremors )
Cthulu Thursday ( You know what ) 
Freaky Friday ( Horror style ) 

So then Half an Hour max in Zbrush for clean up and other stuff. 
Renderer of choice - Medium / Zbrush / Marmoset / Keyshot / etc 

@Martinity @P3nT4gR4m @InkyTheOctopus
@nalex66 @FrozenPea @southerngfx
@Scout1138 @FearDaAlien @NickOh73
  @cybercyrus90 - all welcome to jump in


What are your thoughts ? 

Then roll it next week to whoever wants to pick up the weekly inspiration names eg; Monster Monday ...

Great idea by the way

Super Cool man - I was actually thinking we kick off next week Monday does that sound good ? 

FrozenPea

@Sterling77 I should of read the post properly...makes more sense now  D

Sounds good, gives some time to think about what i'll be doing. I might actually work a few days ahead but post them on the correct days since I'm gonna be really busy from next Wednesday so won't be around to sculpt

Sterling77

Yea cool sounds great ! Lol I just edited the post and put the start date. So it's a bit more locked in  

nalex66

Sounds like fun! I'm on vacation in Europe right now, but I get home Monday night, so hopefully I'll find time to jump in later in the week.

Mechs? Really, mechs? Totally not my comfort zone, count me the hell in! 

DeadlyJoe

You can count me in, though I'm a bit busy with other projects at the moment. I'll find some time to contribute.

Yeah, nice Idea, love to join and hope to find the time to do an every day sculpt. I can hardly wait to see results of Thursday. Absolute Cthulu Mythos Fan here

InkyTheOctopus

I like to hit the hay early on work days , but I like the proposition , so i'll endeavour to contribute to some degree 

Sterling77

Its MECH MONDAY !! yay i've been flat out with so much other crap today - lucky Australia is in the future lol 

Smashing out a Mech as we speak  

So if you get a Solid Mech - post it on the Day, so we can all look back through the week and go AMAGAAD ! 

FrozenPea

We're melting here in the UK but managed to knock out 99% of a mech last night, just need to take some photos and a gif when I get home tonight

It's days like yesterday when I realise my beast of a PC is essentially an 800-watt fan heater when it's under load 

Sterling77

Holy shit @InkyTheOctopus I almost feel embarrassed posting mine now. Like I said - not my strong suit. Reckon I just might be able to redeem myself on thursday, tho...

M1cH3LL

I love the Closeup Great Face Sculpt

FrozenPea

Awesome work @FearDaAlien  & @P3nT4gR4m  ! 

Here is my Mech, I used my new custom stamps for this sculpt Took around 2 hours to finish, I could probably spend another 2 hours just adding weathering and decals! I will try to upload a video tomorrow of the time-lapse

Very nice, i love the Flower Touch . The Picture doesnt get what the VR Look is, its so much more awesome. Thanks for shareing this model.

InkyTheOctopus

Yeah man @FrozenPea looks terrific in VR , good stuff 

FrozenPea

Cheers guys! I always find all the sculpts look so much better in VR from doing the collab sculpts It's really hard to capture that with a photo.

@FearDaAlien I just tried yours in VR and its really cool, love the little people running away 

MattHickman

These are great! Love these sculpting challenges.Would love to find time to throw in for one of these! 

P3nT4gR4m

Here's mine. He does look a bit better in VR than I remember. Pretty chuffed with the pose and expression just kinda shit out of ideas for making him all machiney and whatnot.

Thoughts:

5 days of 5 sculpts?  Does that mean you have to do a different one every day or you can take your pick?  Maybe just one idea per week. Otherwise, it could be overwhelming. 

 Maybe different challenges for different preferences – for example, in one challenge, work has to be done exclusively in Medium, and other challenges, other software can be used. 

 Maybe different challenges for different skill / experience levels. 

 Quill seems to be left out – where are the challenges for that? Or maybe it's not considered to be as sexy as 3-D sculpting?

Thanks for the input - Its a 5 Day 5 Sculpt challenge - Its about pushing your creative. You don't have to do it there's no deadline perse' 

You can pick one if you feel inspired, no big deal From the forum we all have great strengths in many areas, this is about letting go and being inspired. 

Feel free to setup a Challenge if you like As you have said a Quill Challenge sound great.
