Hair Face

Practicing how to ink in Photoshop. I'm finally learning how to get some nice effects in there.

But, its a whole different way of thinking compared to traditional inking.

Powdered Toast Man

As I was looking through some old files I remembered Powdered Toast Man was usually pretty fun to draw when I was in High School or Middle School, I can't really remember. So, I decided to give it a shot again see if it still feels the same, and to practice some rendering in Photoshop.

Even to this day it's still fun.

Something Different

Decided to play around in Photoshop and get comfortable with CS5. I also downloaded something like 200 new brushes, everything from splatters, dirt, watercolor, textures and some crazy effects brushes. So i wanted to play around with those too.

So I just start doodling and throwing colors around, I don't really know what else to say.

Voldemort

So, I watched a Harry Potter marathon on ABC family a few weeks ago, and I've been watching the Deathly Hollows trailer every once in a while too. So, I've had Voldemort stuck in my head for a while.

So I started up Zbrush and got to work. I also managed to save some of the process along the way. This is him pretty early in the sculpting process. You can tell because his teeth are way to pretty.


Here he is after the sculpting was mostly done and I started polypainting him. Thanks to all the screenshots from the movies I accidently made him way too blue. It worked out well in the end though, because it gave him a nice dead, veiny base color.


Here he is with his final more human skin tone.



Also as practice I sculpted the smiling model into a frown.

Some Older Exercises

These are some older exercises I found on my hard drive. I wanted to practice making a realistic face, so what better way to do that than to model my own? So I took a few pictures from different angles and kept a small mirror next to my monitor and got to work

It's still a work in progress though. Eventually, I'll add eyebrows, different hairstyles and even color.


After that I decided to have some fun with model and make my self into a super fatty. Or maybe it's me in twenty years? who knows.


I also had a generic head sculpt of a Na'vi I was working on lying around. So, I figured why not use my head sculpt as reference to make myself a Na'vi avatar?

All in all pretty fun practice.
