Hair Practice

Hello! Long time no see-!
Here's some stuff I've been up to lately.

all together base + hair = 9 1/2 hours 

I was practicing hair sculpting again, This time with a little more detail added in. Started out with a zsphere and slowly added details. The back hair still needs some love : ( I'm planning to put a clip at the back to make it hold the hair. I'm also going to focus this character on her clothes/fabric/accesories/hair/posing. I'm not focusing too much on anatomy for her since it wont be seen anyway. The fingers and toes will be fixed too!
(Her textures disappeared after using dynamesh and I hadn't realized till it was too late : ( - luckily I did just the face)

Rihanna 3D printed bust!

My Rihanna bust has been printed! It looks pretty amazing I'll give them that! It looks really clean cut too- They even gave me a few screenshots of the process, It looked extremely cool too with the supports!

This was about 5 hours through printing- It does take a long time to print but in all it's really great to see a 3D model becoming a physical copy- The website they have up is pretty informative about how 3d prints are done too- which is cool since if you own a 3d printer or want to print you don't have to look far.

Kvothe Fan art!

So I finished the two books of "The Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy" again but this time, I actually paid more attention to it- Mostly because it's an audiobook I've been listening to while working- I wish more happened in the second book with Kvothe, the whole book felt very mellow to me. Like a filler in an anime, that had minor hints of the same arc but not really- I won't spoil it here and I'm still excited for the third book! I was so excited after the whole thing I actually drew something today! I give you Kvothe : D It could've been better but I took about 10 mins to churn this out quickly so I could get over this feeling-

Disney's Ariel sculpt

An attempt at sculpting Ariel-! I remember spamming this movie back when I was younger, making my siblings traumatized from the addiction, which is lovely and all but regardless! I still love this movie-! I was messing around with zbrush 4R6 new tools recently and decided picked Ariel as a test sub- I thought her eyes were a tad too big, but it didn't look that bad at second glance so I stuck to it :3 I took about 3 hours including the hair. (edited) I added the tail and fixed the hair a little :D and added some shells- I took about 4 hrs to sculpt and texture it all out. I'll probably leave it the way it is for now-

Merelli

I name thee Merelli, Someday I shall paint you........Someday.....

Fox Pixie

Fox Pixie

Aaaaaaand I digressed! Had alot of critiques on the nose. After fixing it though I realized it didn't look like
her anymore but I didn't want to lose the cuteness of it. So I decided to make a pixie instead : D I'm still working on the Rihanna sculpt of course-! I just liked where this was going and decided to complete it-

(Picasa seemed to have removed the colour on the eyes, The original colour is true to on the 3/4 head)

Stylized Rihanna Portrait WIP

An attempt at stylizing/caricature of Rihanna. This is still a work in progress. In the process of adding the full body..and her missing ears- Took me about 4 hours from a flat base mesh...The one that looks like slenderman!? Oh, why yes! Back to work missy-

Female Head Practice

Female Head Practice 

Haven't had much done on pure zbrush alone- So this was my attempt in trying to sculpt a head- I started with a base mesh slenderman look alike XD, Took ages on trying to sculpt the nose to look decent and the mouth was pretty quick and fun too- The eyes were the toughest for me. It kept looking too stiff and well ugly, took alot of Ctrl-z's and reloading of the model to get to where it is at the end : D More Practice! I need to move faster than this definitely! Will be adding the hair and ears in a bit- Stay tuned!

Nathan Drake portrait

My attempt at a Nathan Drake portrait.......... Close enough!

Sketches

So...made a self portrait..... well sorta looks like me >_> - maybe could've added more character hmm- Either way-!
I made this so it could be used as an avatar later on. I was going for the Tetsuya Nomura's final fantasy character portrait (avatar) styles- ( He's just sooo good D: ) but yesss- gonna start painting this soon!

Done in Photoshop!

Also here's some of my old sketches from a previous blog (It's gone now, been replaced with this)! Yes I'm trying to fill this one up! so sue me >:P
