DreamShapers sketch book

Medium is a fantastic experience, before I keep adding sculpts, decided it's time to start a sketchbook.  Will start with a bit of a retrospective, and more or less start at the beginning and with any luck, keep at it for years.  Here's a carousel I made a few months ago, to see the creations up to that point.

Two Year Anniversary Update (mostly sequential with annual highlights)

Earlier part of this post, carousel built inside medium with snapshots, from way back when we just met

Body armor using a curved stamp, wanted to see how this would work for contouring

Still on the curved stamp thing, reminiscent of an alien castle or ancient city.  Stayed with one stamp the whole way through, to get a feel for the extents and limits of the approach. Study with built in constraints.  A bit tricky in parts because the awesome ability to reposition a stamp was yet to be invented.  Possibly my favorite upgrade to the tool set

Laser Bike.   Went back to the dual texture overlay for the lasers to create an on/off effect.  Photos first.  Video to be added on the next pass thru here.  Currently, they are scattered all over my hard drives at the moment and in various states of production.  Will take a while to sort through.

Start of a reptillian.  Mostly interested in how to work out the wings.  Posting as a reminder to revisit this now that the move tool is available.  Way too many sculpts stored to remember what they all are, and takes too long to scroll.  Would be cool if the library stored each base sculpt as its own project folder, using the most recent one as the "top" image.  (Bonus points if can  "save as new project" to start a new stack) Always a bit afraid to use "save as" on the off chance the machine crashes and both files get corrupted. At any rate, this tends to make the library a journey that takes much longer than I'd like.  Anyhow, here's the wing study....such as it is

Landscape practice.  Seemed like the right day to build an island and practice sand, water, foliage and mountains.  Some still images from various vantage points. Balloon tour.

Placeholder image.  One of many variants on this portal, almost everything on here is double layered to do particle fx.

Porcupine Magnificus.  Not sure where the name came from, was just going through my head the whole time I was sculpting.  Anyhow, was time to make an animal, and a porcupine appeared interesting and challenging.  Had fun with the quills and went with the vaguely plush toy leather nose and feet
