Egyptian Statue Progress [WIP]




This is all WIP of course. I am done UV'ing the statue and I am now on the texturing stage of this project.

Once I was happy with my body sculpt I went ahead and did some concept art on how i should proceed, which helped a lot... having concept art for your piece speeds up your work tenfold. The statue on the right is a concept paint-over of the high-res sculpt. The statue on the left is how it's looking so far in zbrush.

Lots of work to juggle right now so i am having less and less time to spend on this.

Ryan Woodward - Sketch demo at the beach




Ryan Woodward came to give a life drawing demo today at the beach. Very interesting demo. Concentrated on generalzing the figure down to one shape to start off and then throw down some big lines that shows the figure's movement. He further expanded it into incorporating cartoon elements into life drawing and exaggerating. So here's some sketches from today:




That last one is from a few days ago at figure class, just found interesting to post.

Zbrush Statue Sculpt - WIP

This is my work in progress sculpt of the statue for our level. High-res sculpt almost done but still needs quite a few adjustments and I still need to work the hands and tone down the ribs haha.
