Monogram + Doodle

Finally figured out a monogram that seems to work. Also played with photoshop settings to get a sketching template - works pretty nicely! Hence all the doodles....

Zbrush Torso study

I'm getting more into Zbrush. If I'm honest, I haven't really read up much on how I'm meant to be doing things in this... So I will most likely have to go back and remodel. This is very much just studying how the clay brushes work in Zbrush 3.5 - It's all just from my head with no ref, so excuse any completely imaginary musculature :)

I'm thinking of adding the previously posted Yakuza head to this. Sculpting a Kimono drape - a set of hands and the kneeling pose. Again, just to practice painting onto the model in Zbrush, so - it's tattoo research time (and swatting up on Zbrush time)!

Zbrush learning

So I installed 3.5 R3 - (Pixelogic Zbrush). It's great fun to play around with. I'm mainly using the claytubes tool to build up layers right now - I'm sure I should get faster at this ... but it's fun nonetheless. So go go pompadour yakuza action!

Mecha WIP 1

I thought I'd hack out a new robot design, so here is the initial WIP. I still think this design is slightly funky (not the good kind), he'd kind of waddle in a comical way with his current back legs, so I'll most likely redo them. Plenty of room to play around still though - I'm making an exploded side view (this one) with the leg and arm parts to be layered on top and I'll probably do a few other detail shots in each other perspective.

Enjoy!

Happy Holiday Alien

Todays doodle so far - bit rushed as I need to prepare the flat for pre-christmas visitors. This kind of reminds me of the good Dr.Zoidberg. I'll have to finish this off some other time. Merry Jebus-day to all you humans out there.

Added some colours/tweaks - shall cleanup+finish soon

bird/bear/monkey?

No real thought behind this - but another concept for a possible enemy. Probably should work more on some variants. I guess this can be today's doodle!

Snowy Sunday

Snow has covered the streets - so I've been sitting in my longhi doodling all day. I found a pad (gift from a friend) of tibetan hand made paper - makes a nice texture! Going out to see Avatar today - hope it's as good as everyone is making it out to be.

Photoshop Doodle

Another test. Damn blogs and their maximum of 400 pixels wide. That's horrible!

Old Stuff

Some older sketches and bits and bobs... Keep things all in one place.
