70 Minute Speedsculpt - White-Tailed Deer

I decided to try my hand at a speedsculpt - and I loved it! It was enjoyable and will become a part of my routine. I created an albino deer bust, and I kind of want to push it to game-ready completion. It would be a good opportunity to learn about making fur using planes.

Halted Work - Magnolia

Halted Work- This is a character model I started working on back in 2016, but brought to a stop just a few weeks in. She was an attempt at stylization and I liked the direction she was headed - maybe I'll pick this project back up in the future. The stylistic choice was a mixture between my own personal sketching style and the style from Dishonored (I enjoyed the game's sharp lines and bold style). Her working title was "Magnolia".

Crocodile WIP 1

WIP- A crocodile for my upcoming VR experience. So far I've put about 8 hours in, spread out over the last week (from research and starting from scratch to what you see above).

This is a great exercise to push my character modeling and Zbrush skills - they say that if you want to get better at modeling, you need to pick the hardest thing you can think of and model it. Here is my hardest thing: a crocodile. The anatomy is just unfamiliar enough, the scales have thousands of variations, sometimes the bumps and shapes are difficult to define and recreate. It's a blast.

Throughout this process I will learn and use many techniques that I consider "more advanced", and I cannot wait. This model will be game-ready, textured in Substance Painter and rendered in both Marmoset Toolbag and Unreal. The VR experience is being created in Unreal and will probably be released free of charge.

A Screenshot Dump - Summer '16 - Part 1

 I've been working on my 

Male Anatomy Piece - WIP 6

WIP 6- I've been working on polishing anatomy here and there on my character. I am pretty happy with the front of the torso, front of thighs and head. I am having difficulty getting the back of the legs and the arms correctly modeled. Any critiques are welcome :)

Christopher - WIP

Just a little update on my model. I figured some un-textured renders could be a good way to show the little details. It still isn't finished, I'm very unhappy with some parts of him. Slowly but surely I'm polishing him up to my liking. I can't wait to retop and get some specularity in there. I hope you like it!
Also, he seems to be getting more evil every time I post an update XD

Joe's Portfolio Class - Final Project

This is my final project, a portrait of my friend. I hand-painted the textures with polypaint in Zbrush.
It was a challenging process, but I'm not entirely unhappy with the result. I plan on working on this more over the break.
