Work in progress pics of my male character

Zbrush sculpt, started off with a model imported from Max:


Normals baked onto low-poly. I just wanted to see it in Max:


Now I'm working on the clothes:

Zbrush head

I am currently finding Zbrush extremely relaxing to use and less frustrating than 3D Studio Max. Sculpting in Zbrush feels more "artistic", whereas Max seems more technical to me. I still enjoy using both, but now I am much more comfortable with using Zbrush than I was before, thanks to Cam's wonderful sculpting lessons.

I sculpted this man head a couple of days ago and I'm currently building his body in Max to import into Zbrush later.

The end of the group project

What a journey! Those 12 weeks have been busy but it has certainly been a good ride.

I must say that I am very grateful towards my team. Everyone worked hard at their assigned jobs and cooperated well with each other. At first, it felt strange to be working with 5 other different minds since I had been so used to working alone on the Mortal Engines projects (character, environment and vehicle), but throughout the group project, I had learned many new things and it was a great and enjoyable experience to work with others.

I am now very much looking forward to Third Year where we will be doing our FMPs. I have a rough idea of what I'd like to do but I am still thinking about it.

ONWARDS WE GO!

Recent paintings

Unfortunately I have not been able to update my blog as much as last term, though this is because I have been deeply focused on the Group Project this semester (all my blog posts went onto the Team blog) which has been going very smoothly. I will be writing a more detailed post about the Group Project later. For now, here are some recent paintings.

I enjoyed this one very much, the brief was to choose a place that I'd like to relax in then add some changes to suit my own personal taste. I turned the local library into a more antique styled one:

Painting mugs is actually a lot more fun than I had imagined!


EDIT: Made a new version of the library painting here.

Agent Smith

Tweaked his face a bit and finished the texturing:

Jack Sparrow and "generic" head

Tried a more realistic-looking face this time.


Previously I did this one which was a made-up character head (but based her features on various actresses):
