Finished Head

Havnt got onto hair, but i found a brush that does the trick, might to be the best thing to do to the model though :)

Head Modelling

I had a go at Head Modelling, a great skill to have when creating people or humanoid figures. after watching a few tutorials on organic head modelling i produced this which i feel is in proportion apart from the nose. i started modelling from the tip of the sphere which ended up being the nose and whenever i would shape the nose it would just merge into a sharp point. wasnt going to start again as i went so far. i am please with this work :)

Lizard Man

Love the outcome of this. After spending a few hours on this and then looking at it again later, i think it really has a strong form and distinct features of real animals and humans. Zbrush is definately growing on me and i would like to produce more pieces like this.i still have a lot to learn but putting in the hours will help me accomplish certain obstacles.

ZBrush Experiment

Before easter id been shown some zbrush models and was told 'it not as hard as you think'. this gave me a lot of inspiration to actually give it a go. after getting to know the software and shortcuts i made this frankenstein of a creature. Zbrush really gets your imagination going as simple manipulations and adjustments can shift your veiw from one creature into another, in this case it was in the middle from an insect to a dog.

Nearly There...

Gettin' There..

using the adjustment layers that iv recently learnt to use from the Daarken tutorial.. Gettin' there :)

So Far So Good

Had an idea of him jumping over a wall or something so i looked up a few action poses

as i was going on the drawing didnt really feel very 'nightcrawler-y' so i looked up a few more poses

starting to have a bit more character and energy

liking it so far.. using the same technique for drawing as i have in other pieces

Nightcrawler research

Love the top left, great sense of narrative :)

Cyborg

Final Robot

Development stage

here i tried experimenting with different ways to come up with an interesting robot figure. started with the bottom right figure which didnt leave much room for imaginative dimensions and perspective.

after a few hours of experimenting i looked  up a tutorial on youtube on robot concepts. this helped a lot.

this is what i come up with following the fast 10 minute tutorial.... not the same outcome i have to say :(

Robot moodboard

some really cool robot designs to get started.

Final Surreal Piece

this final piece turned out alot better than i thought. after experimenting with shading i came to this outcome. i enjoyed this brief and wanted to do something like this for a while. hope you like it.

First Attempt

so my basic idea is to have a huge mountain of sand which looks like a pair of legs. the idea came from a stage in Mortal Komabat 9 where theres a rock shaped women broken up in the sand. i tried using the smudge tool to manipulate the actual reference but it didnt end up looking so great. but its a start :)

Surreal Moodboard

A moodboard to get the weird side of my brain thinking a bit more than it usually is :)

They Wont See This Coming.

From the reference picture you can probably tell what im getting at. its a bit of a 'make love not war' type meaning. a peaceful solution to war, have a water fight! i kept it in the artstyle that our group projects are doing so everything is relevant.

Just a first idea I had

Researching some propaganda posters l learnt that war is often associated with the colour of red So i knocked up a 2 hour drawing of a 'dictator' like figure with a gradient of red just to test out what i can come up with and experiment trying to do my own propaganda version. i dont think im going to go down the propaganda route for this brief, so im going to try redesign a an image of war in my own artstyle and maybe add a few twists.    

War Moodboard

Done a moodboard of things associating to war in different ways in both games and propaganda.

Final Caricature

Hand Drawn Attempt

Basically started looking at pictures of myself that had some CHARACTER. i thought this pose suited well. i tried going over the picture in Photoshop but failed miserably because the face is just too much of a constraint when drawing over it, so i decided to go back to traditional media to test out what i can produce by hand. i looked at the main features of my face and over exaggerated them.

Start off with some inspiring Self Portraits to get the juices flowing :)
