Z-brush test

Taking the new desktop for a test drive. Playing around with dynamesh in z-brush 4R5

Demonic Creature

This one started out in the Alchemy program then finished off in Photoshop using various custom brushes that had photo textures and noise added to them. Inspired the very talented designer Aaron Simms. Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!!

Minotaur Concept

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur, was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, "part man and part bull". He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus. Here is a concept of the creature that I sculpted in z-brush and painted in Photoshop cs6. Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!

Rango Thumbnails

Here are a few more thumbnails done for study. This time from the movie Rango. By far one of my favorite recent animated films. The guys at ILM out did themselves in my opinion. Great character designs. I love how everything was grungy and not as cute as in other films. The atmosphere and details make this a great film to do studies from. Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy:)

Painting the model

I decided to paint my speed sculpts from an earlier post. Here is the first one.

Alien Speed Sculpt

Another speed sculpt about 45 minutes to warm up this morning. Trying hard not to put an actual face on this one:) Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!

Z-brush Monsters

Here are a couple of quick blocked in beasties done in z-brush 4r5. I usually only take these so far, then carry them into photoshop for painting. I am getting more comfortable with digital sculpting though, so I may try to slowly push it further as I progress with the program. For now I am faster at painting, so I continue to concept that way. Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!

Sci-Fi Paintings

Here are a couple of sci-fi environments that I have not shared yet. The first one is a play on Moses speaking to the burning bush atop the mountain of GOD in the book of Exodus in the Bible. The ships in the second piece were kitbashed together from a bunch of shapes in z-brush. it kind of looked like a steam punk style ship to me from a distance so I decided to put it in a scene. Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!
