Just foolin around for an hour or two.

This turntable is a self portrait for a Speed Model Session on tweakcg.com. The limit was 4 hours but I didn't spend more than 3 on this. Was a lot of fun working on this.

Here I am making a first pass of the body. Just trying to block out the shape and get the proportions. Started by trying to distribute the geometry and then went up a subdivision level to start blocking in the shape. The legs are probably a little too long.

Creating the base mesh for characters in my Kataki project. This is part 1 where I create a ZSphere armature for the base mesh.

This is Part 2 of my Kataki Project WIP series. In this video I refine the low res geometry generated from the ZSphere armature created in Part 1. For more info on my Kataki project check out my site: www.pikusuru.com

Did this leg today. Had to leave and come back to it. No reference... and it shows. I need to spend more time learning anatomy.

Worked on this before leaving for work this morning. You can tell there were parts where I was lost and spent a lot more time looking at the mesh rather than sculpting it. Over the next few days I'll be doing quick sculpts of body parts of both sexes in preparation for a short I'm doing for a local film festival.

2D sketch. I wasn't recording for some of it so there is a bit of a jump at 0:29s but it probably won't be noticed. Honestly I got bored with this and rushed through the final "detail" to at least try and make it worth posting ;)

Quick morning 2D sketch

A 2D sketch in ZBrush

Started this with no particular idea in mind... just whatever came out. I tried to uses ZBrush's masks more and tried out different methods of getting harder edges. Ranged from pinch brush and flatten brush. Looking back I could have made better use of the masks to get some effects I was going for.

Trying to focusing on arms. Still within my timeframe but more I did spend more time on this than I would care to admit. This really makes me question what I thought I knew about anatomy.

Spent a couple hours on my lastest and last attempt at the Dominance War III comp. Throwing in the towel on the good fight... Learned alot while doing this though :)

Worked a little more on my Dominance War III entry tonight.

Starting working on the sculpt for my Dominance War III entry today. I'm still experimenting and trying to find a workflow I'm comfortable with in ZBrush. I started with a basic ZSphere armature and will probably end up "building" a human in that I'll define muscles (maybe fat) and layers skin on top of that.

Not sure what this is... just came out from playing around. Don't remember how much time I spent on it... I think it was between 30 - 60 mins. I plan to do something like this at least once every day... just sketch/sculpt for no more than an hour with no specific goal in mind.

Recording of a concept sketch for my Dominance War III 3D Entry. Was fun sketching in ZBrush. The WIP thread is at CGSociety here: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=234&t=596472

Was bored while waiting for wife to get ready to go out to dinner and spent a couple of minutes sketching this head... was kind of fun. I like this method.

Meh. Here's another attempt to sculpt the creature. Not completely happy with results but happy with what I'm learning from it. Session 03 "teaser" was actually from session that I tossed.

Teaser of the sculpting of the random creature. Hadn't updated in a bit so put up this teaser until I finish first sculpting pass.

A new base mesh because the previous one didn't turn out the way I envisioned it.

More ZBrush experimenting. Creating the base mesh for some random creature I'm making up as I go... I flippin' love zspheres!

ZBrush noob playing with ZSpheres and the movie recording features of ZBrush... I love zspheres.
