Battletoads - Revised

The pose in the below post was bad enough that I couldn't stand looking at it. I reworked it over the past few days after talking with Matt about improvements. I'm feeling better about this one

Battletoads

Submission for a contest on DeviantArt, which was to create a character for an 8/16-bit game.
To keep with the toad naming system they had set up, this one is Blackhead.

JoGee Godzilla Challenge WIP

 
The current two week challenge is to design an original monster and have him battling Godzilla. This is about 4 hours of painting and sketching and I plan on making it even more over the top, weird, and obvious there's a person in the suit like was the case with any Godzilla movie.

Magmos - Skylander concept

Not a great checkpoint but here's a concept proof. I'm at the point where the base needs to be sculpted separately, the major details need to be sculpted, then the character needs to be posed, base attached, and then it's going to require non-symmetrical sculpting and details after remeshing. Lots of work ahead; nothing an afternoon without interruption can't do

From model to print


The pink model is the Max model while the white version is the imported zBrush model with 3 division levels.
And here's the actual print. The fist is approx. 4.7cm tall. It didn't turn out all that bad considering there were parts intersecting on the model that I didn't feel like cleaning up. I'll make the changes if I need to print it again

Photoshop Render Study



Really influenced by this artist's character design click here and give him the credit.  I just really enjoy his rendering style so I wanted to teach myself on how I would approach to get similar results.

Took all together a little over an hr. learned a lot by making better color choices and not using the eye dropper, again was a personal exercise so that I can improve my future paintings.

Big O' Noggin

Think I am pretty much done with this guys Face piece, gave an attempt at trying to merge this jungle frankenstien together BUT zbrush being its impossible to use lovable self i could only get cross intersecting meshes together as one tool(in other words he just looks crazy) Ssssso we all know what this means.... now mr big guy had won himself some brand new jewelry in the form of some fancy ass bracelets and nice gold chain to go around his neck. Zbrush is trying to break me but i shall not falter.

Hairy Start

The craziness begins. I've come up with a way to create the sections quickly but styling the hair to keep it from looking funny is another story. Should work better when there are more strands

 Re-topologizing the face

Retopped face vs. face exported at level 2 division

The mesh on the right is more messy but also has more detail. Feeling like retopping with clean loops was a waste of time since the one on the left is about 4000 polygons and the one on the right is 5000. 

I think from here that I'll clean up the level 2 exported mesh and go on to adding the crazy hair
