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.
