Amen Corner




The promised finned-wonder and the bust of Poe. I've included the reference image for comparison^^ He remains to be shaded (mostly) and the sea monster remains to be posed, but we're on the home stretch. Yay!


My new fish. He's all scary and cool now but his body hasn't been posed yet and I still have to model the membrane of all his fins...I just have the skeleton of them so far. More to follow...including Poe, but I don't know when. I'm very proud of the teeth :D

Bug Thing






I made this fish today. I'm quite happy with it...I think it's cute. It took roughly four hours. For the other three hours of class time today, I worked on constructing an accurate bust of Edgar Allen Poe in 3D in Zbrush. I got the whole face done and the neck and eyes and facial hair and skin shading...but the graphics card and the RAM couldn't handle Mister Poe's crazy hair. Now I can't open it without crashing...but thats a problem for the morning. Here's the reference image I worked from, anyway.

BugZ




Three angles on my first non-human sculpt...don't ask me what it is. Like my human bust, this hasn't been colored much yet, I've just painted in basic materials. Still, I'm reasonably proud of my work on my first day working with Zbrush, and although it was extremely long (nine hours total work time) and frustrating, I did not scream, burst into tears, or go 'Planet of the Apes' on my keyboard. So at least I still have my dignity.

My first sculpt in Zbrush. More shading to follow.
