Some Alien Donkus

Just a classic, Alien looking thing this time, with some flat surfaces going here and there and extremely humanoid-- cept no ears. I just did this super quick for the day to not lose the grip!. Also, donkus is a term for loser, but people on the internet use it for other purposes... then again, no matter what people say, every single damn word means something sexual now days. X<

The last few days I have been working on a digital painting for my masters class, when I get it a little futher along I may post it. This guy here is a month or so old and was a dynamesh demo for the mapping for games class.

Tormentor

The tormentor's face! and spiky horn like... whatever those are. This one's kinda old. I'm a little uninspired but getting somewhere with other sketches. =p

work in progress

Fat Cylops

This is one ugly sucker. I added some asymmetry to the tongue, lips and-- that's about it. Also, a weird skin texture and weird ... balls of flesh randomly to make it look more disgusting.

Adding More Detail...

Can't seem to finish him, but fun adding bits...

another sculpt ( 35 mins )

Morana The Pirate

Also known as Morana the Cruel, Morana the Torturer, Morana the Despised, and Morana the Unholy. It's a "long sketch" since I just made a rough version and textured it-- just like my Meow Effect Cat!. I know I know, hair etc, but it's a Zbrush sketch, we can't use alphas and I don't know how to do the Zbrush hair stuff =p.

Also, I know I know, I'm still modeling stuff that somehow looks toony, but I like it. I promise I'll practice more realistic stuff, but it's hard for me =p

Hey all! Names Aaron and Ill be posting new sculpts as much as possible :) Made this guy yesterday from a cool image I saw from Rafael Grassetti. Cheers everyone!

250 5%

250 lbs, 5% body fat! Yeah! Going for a The Rock or Terry Crews build here for this quick body sketch. This is how a guy should look? I think it's a little too out there, but close, no? =p

Potion Bottle

Currently away at the beach so I wanted to post another finished sculpt.  Potion bottle I did a few months back

Making a Rock Texture Using ZBrush...

Hi guys!  So I threw this together for anyone that's interested.  This lil' tut demonstrates how I go about making tile-able textures using ZBrush.  This process starts with making the normal map, which make texturing the diffuse and spec maps that much easier.  Enjoy!  :)

Remember, if you have any questions about the process just ask.  I'll do my best to answer what I know.

Twisted

You were right Kenny, It does look a lot better with a quick twist on the horns. Funny thing I kept looking at those horns and thinking they looked like a rattlesnake tail. Its one of those things where it bothered me, but not enough that I took a minute to resolve it. Im always talking to students about that same thing.

stopped at 1hour

I'm a bit embarrassed this took me an hour to make. I'm looking to have a suitable skull to speedup my bust to head sculpting process with some underlying bone structure. This will more than likely be a constantly evolving model. Critiques are greatly anticipated!

ugh

Kerunno

Kernunno! because I noticed that this blog has very dangerously low levels of Kaiju, so I decided to fix that. I don't know how much I spent on this? hour and a half or so? I kept spinning on my chair and watching survivor man on TV. Anyway, some Kaiju badassery was required. Enjoy!

another hour and half sculpt 

some more sculpts! each sculpt was around an hour and half. going to try and post more GTAV is taking over my life haha.

35mins of sculpt

Found this sweet page while traversing the web. Hopefully you find this useful and return with some sweet sculpts, Cheers!

SpeedSculpt 01 : LOTR

Hey guys!  I'm seeing some cool stuff on this blog.  My friend Corey and I will be doing the occasional 1 hour speed sculpts during our lunch breaks and posting them here.  Today we chose Lord of the Rings for the theme.

We're both in the game industry so if anyone has any questions, feel free to email me directly!

Environment Art using ZBrush

Hey guys!  I noticed that there is quite a bit of character art going on in here.  Here is some ZBrush environment work I did a while back for your viewing pleasure.  I picked up some pretty cool techniques for making these tileable textures from a friend and co-worker while I was at BioWare...  Enjoy.  :D

Commander Shepard

This is not a sketch cause it took longer than a couple of hours but it's not a completed work cause it only took some hours to finish =p

This is based on Mass Effect, of course, and it's supposed to be a cat version of Commander Shepard. Saving the world after a nap, of course. Meow Effect.

another head

another hour and 30 mins in

O.O got carried away 3hours in

Umm, What?

Its been a while

I haven't touched zbrush in several months but managed to bang this out today after trying to remember all the hotkeys. Hopefully I'll keep this up and have more to share in the future.

The Incredible, Stylized, Morphing Face!

I wanted to make something with attitude and lots of mood, so I sculpted this guy's angry face and, of course, took a stylized direction, like a comic book!

Want to know why this is the incredible, stylized, morphing face? Well, if I stretch his ears and make them pointy, and add some lines on the chin... he becomes the Super Skrull! but!... but... if I stretch the ears again, but instead of putting lines on the chin I give him a funny, pointy hat... he becomes the Green Goblin!

Drake

Hello everyone this is my first post here at Zketch and am excited to see another cool site where people can publish there works!!!

Here's one that I worked on a little last night and tonight...

I hope to add more to this one, but for now he will rest a bit...

Adding some detail. Basic Material, 4 lights, Shadow Angle 150, BPR

 More horns, scales and detail...

Zketch = Awesome

Attention artists! I'd like to welcome again the starting community of Zketch. We expect this community to grow more in the next few weeks, which should be pretty amusing.

Let's take this opportunity to post some ideas behind Zketch, what it stands for and we hope to accomplish. It's pretty simple really, in fact, there's not much to talk about, but we should post here!

First, Zketch is an area for artists to have fun and post their quick sketches in Zbrush. Ideally, it'd be a place to post our daily warm ups (cause ... we are Zbrush artists, we do that stuff) for others to see and critique! That's not to say we can't post more than that. No. We can post anything Zbrush here, even completed works.

Got a tutorial you'd like to share with the world? Go for it. How about a speed sculpting? You got it. Hey, you can draw? Want to draw some sketches that other people could take as a challenge to do a quick sculpt video? Do eet! It's all about fun and love for art. Your level skill? Doesn't matter. Your burning passion for the wacom pen and fake, virtual clay is what brings us all here.

Make sure to be active! let's make this a lively community and a friendly one too. Comment on people's work, throw your 2 cents! the more 2 cents we collect, the better. 2 cents at the time will get us thousands of money later on! (metaphorically speaking) Enjoy yourselves.

Lastly, go ahead and take a minute to introduce yourself here if you'd like. Post a little something something about you, like your name or nickname! what kind of art style you like, your goals, too! what sort of games/movies you enjoy the most! what's your favorite zbrush brush? what kind of pizza do you like the most? What's your pant's size? stuff like that!

Give it a go! most of us don't bite! we're starving artists, not cannibals =p

Beck!

Cause Beck is now relevant-- or will be when the game comes out? Don't forget to support this game, Mega Man fans!

Openhouse_ Demo

Here is a character I banged out in about 30 min for a demo at Ai Openhouse last week.

Something I finished recently. O.O *planing on posting at least 1 new thing every morning*

last of the finalized sculpts, going to start the daily stuff soon!
