Can you feel the base!!!!

Here is a little update. Adjusted some of his features a bit. More so in the jaw and Traps department. I added the base and logo, which for now I'm happy with. Not sure if i want to damage it or make it new and slick looking (which would be a nice contrast).

Still working on the pectoral anatomy but almost pleased with it. It will soon be time to dump him in mudbox and detail him. I like the paint tools in mudbox way more than zbrush!

Got one week left at EA Canada and its going to be a busy one, so i probably wont be working on anything personal for the next week. So sit tight and stay tuned!

Moloch-chu I choose you!!!!

New update today. Added the straps this afternoon and refined some details. I tried giving some lower jaw/chin winkles just to see how it would look, but i think I'm going to tone it down. Too many directional lines causing un wanted focus to the mouth :P

Going to get this piece prepped for final detailing by the end of this week. Still lots to do (retopo, start details and refine, etc.) Moloch still has a ways to go yet! So stay tuned!

                                                      !!!!!!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

Fixed the mouth wrinkles. They bothered me a lot. Started to do some asymmetry to the face, but it has been busy today so not a lot of down time to work on Moloch today.

Updates

Just some minor things....haven't lunch crunched in the last 2 days and decided to work on these on the down times at work.

Moloch Lunch crunch

So today, some co workers and I decided to do a lunch crunch. Sculpt a quick rendition of a character within the 1hr time frame that we had.  So our theme was Mortal Kombat and we each picked a character, I picked one Ive never herd of "Molcoh". Ive played the first 3 MK games when they came out in the 90's and that was it, but i thought this guy was rather interesting.

WoW am I slow today! I think my problem is that I was too worried about the details and not focusing on the form. I was also fighting the geo alot! We got this base mesh from a co worker that uses it for his busts, and I really hate the geo around the eyes! Felt like I was always working in the eye sockets because they never looked right.

Anyway I will work on this guy at a later date, it  was fun and we will be doing  another 1hr sculpt tomorrow! Cause Im a bit sloooooow today.

Wip Wip Wip from my wacom tip!

Haven't done too much since last post. Still playing around with the fabric/torso area and being a bit picky with it because i need to retopo and i only want to retop once.

Ill be back on the head come next week. Stay tuned!

Fabricana!

So over the last few days for about 10-15 min I had at lunch to attack this guy, Ive made the wrinkles in the fabric/his uniform and adjusted his mug. Here's a little snap shot of what he looks like now! Today I attacked his Torso area and defined the wrinkles in the uniform. A little more tweaking and then back to his face (still no defined plans for his collar yet).

Stay tuned!

Side note!! Long weekend ahead so might be a few days before I post more of this guy. But there maybe some more Tiger updates....weather pending :P

Derp!

Behold! The Alien bust I called Akbar!!! (Because he has eyes like Admiral Akbar from Return of the Jedi).


So this is based of my Alien "Blarp" Painting that I still have to complete. This is a Zbrush sculpt done during my lunch over the last few days for 20 min at a time. Its slowly coming together. I think the base sculpt is almost done. Maybe another lunch or two before I can start detailing it, but I need to retopo it first. My plan is to Retop and dump it into mudbox and finish it off in there. Why mudbox you ask? Because I like it!
I know there are Hardcore Zbrush supporters out there, and that's fine! I just consider it a tool and If one tool can perform a function in a manner I like I will use it, and if it doesn't then i will use another tool to get the task done!
So hate on me if you want, its cool :P

Tiger Add-On!

Still plugging away. Didn't get a chance to work on it for the past 2 weeks, but I did this weekend! I added the fenders (still tweaking the damaged look to them) and refining and adding engine deck components.
The engine deck has a lot of tedious detail that will be added and tweaked over the next few sessions i think.

Also Ill be posting images of my lunch time WIP project. Its based off my character alien painting found here...which too...is a WIP   :P  Derp!

Till then...stay tuned!

Hello Kitty!!!

As promised!

Some more WIP's of the Tiger, work that has been done off and on over the last month (some evenings and weekends). Still quite a bit of work to go and I hope to get all the major components built by the end of the month. But with things at work starting to pick up, I think the upcoming late nights at the office and all the weekend sun we have been getting might slow production down a bit.

But time is a ticking, and this beast needs to transform and roll out!

MIA

So its been over a month since I've last posted. My reason for slacking is....FIFA 12. Last month has been quite busy at EA Canada. I am a part of a large team of artists plugging away on FIFA uniforms and I think in total there are over 1500 in total :P 

Photoshop and I have been spending a few late nights together, but its not as romantic as it sounds.

But because i havent posted anymore WIPS of my TIGER I, doesnt mean I havent been working on it. Quite the opposite! Ill be posting images of my pretty kitty this week, so stay tuned!
