Zombi + process

Heeeey Guys! =)

Here's Zombi =) Came out okay I think, learnt a lot about retopologising =) Lost sooooo much sleep trying to make a good low poly, but the face is a fail =) Will be working on my low poly tech over the next few weeks =) Loved making the character, obviously stuff needs improving in all departments =) Thank you for any feedback, it is much appreciated =) Cheers =)

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 =)
