Figured I'm hardly qualified for the "First Sculpts" thread any more and, tbh, I kinda like that being for first sculpts so I figured I might as well make my own sketchbook vanity thread like they seem to do everywhere else that 3d modelling and forums collide.
I'll post my crap in here. You guys can look at it and chuckle and hopefully start your own thread so's I don't feel like I'm the only attention whore in the place!
So I made up a custom stamp with a big, ropey stitch, holding flesh together on one side and on the other side a staple, again holding flesh together. Here's a quick test.
You're making nice progress with your face anatomy.
Edit: Weird, the forum auto-censored the more correct mode of the word face in the above sentence (fac-ial anatomy)... I didn't know we had an auto-censor, must be new.
@nalex66 Thanks, man. Most of my progress is down to Medium. It's just so bloody fast and smooth and I can see what I'm doing. I've done six months worth of practice in the last couple of weeks.
Bit more wip on Smeagol. Redid the lower jaw (less pointy chin), thinned out a lot of the features. Story is I hate ears. I suck at them (even more so than I suck at everything else) so I always leave them to last. So I'd only done the one ear on this cos I was working to a single photo ref. I was doing the ear last so I'd already turned off symmetry long ago and I forgot to turn it back on. Later on I went back and redid bits of the ear in more detail and this time symmetry was back on (I jump back and forth a bit, on if it's a big change or off for detailing) So I ended up with a ghost skeleton ear or something. I'm calling this one Van Gollum.
Hardly been near Medium today. Did a retopo and bake on Gollum. Diffuse is straight out of medium which suits me cos Blender polypainting does my head in. My diffuse map has a big ugly join down the middle, cos I had to hack the Medium output in half to get symmetry back and I've no idea how to join them back up. I'll paint it out in photoshop anyway. Blender old fashioned render cos cycles scares the bejeezus out of me. Next stop UE4...
Calling this one "Recess" The zombies weren't meant to be little kid zombies but I arsed up the proportions so there you go. Idea popped into my head and I scribbled down a quick piece of concept art. I suck at concept art
