Zombi - Dress Options

Heey Guys! =)

Well so much for finishing the character over the weekend =) I spent the last two days researching how to sculpt dresses, like how folds work in reality and how to make them in Zbrush, here's a selection of the tutorials I found helpful, ranging from complete beginner's stuff to the more detailed: Jumper, Screenwriter's clothing tutorial, and Andrew Klein's Fabric Sculpting Techniques. I found the last one particularly helpful. =) So it was a bit trickier than I thought. =) I decided not to split up the mesh too much either, as that will jus complicate things and I want to keep things nice and simple for myself =)

Which one of these dresses do you like the most? =)

Thank you for your feedback and keep well everyone =)

Zombi - Preview

Heey Guys! =)

Thank you to everyone for the nice feedback, it is very much appreciated =)
Would like to push this to finish over the weekend, altho I won't be here tomorrow, visiting family =) Will post up the process when I finish the whole thing =) Next I'd like to finish the sculpting and move onto the clothing and hair style, and then to texturing/lighting =) So lots of work but I hope to keep the flow going =) Thank you guys, have a great weekend and keep well =)

Char Design (Uni Work)

Heeey hoooy! =)

Made a start on the character design =) I decided to make my own character, not really fussed about taking someone elses model sheet tbh... makes me feel uncreative.. =) So seeing as there's no time to design anything, I thought to keep it simple and jus go with a zombie character, well hurray for originality! =)

Last night, I quickly blocked in the character in Zbrush to get things going =)

The lamest model sheet in existence! =) Got to improve my crappy drawing =( I'll be painting this soon as well =)

The character won't obviously be that epic, but my plan is to emphasise certain, unique features to make the character more interesting. I've tried to hint at this in my model sheet, and it should be noticeable in the reference =)

For example, I'd like to give the zombie quite distinctive glossy white eyes, some kind of sickly skin texture, and then some interesting looking hands and feet which have sharp talon like nails. She will be wearing a ripped skin tight top and pants =)

Any feedback/crits welcome =) Thank you =)

Final Major Project - Uni Work (Wip)

Heeey! =) Well I did jack over the weekend =) , but made a start on concepting the Wizard Room in thumb concepts this evening =) Started on a value concept now, which isn't anywhere near finished, but I'm showing you guys the progress in any case =) Will paint and finish all of the concepts and post them up this week =) Would like a moonlight ambience for the room, with imposing columns, a grand entrance through heavy-set double doors, and dramatic tapestry which descends from the ceiling =) I saw this qwl effect in Quake 4 where a Strogg flag blows in the wind, I'm totally up for achieving similar effects =)

Tomorrow morning we get briefed on character design, so I'll be juggling that along with area design, Fun! =) See you guys soon in another update! =)

Jus a quick update on things, been collecting ref mostly =) It's been banged into me time and time again not to neglect my reference! =) I still haven't finished yet, but I got most of it last night. Will be doing the Walls and Floors this morning, as well as Lighting. And then I'll forge ahead with concepting out the entire room. Okay so that's a lot of work already. See you guys =)
