first zbrush sculpt

11.27.10

hi...as if anyone reads this, lol

started learning Zbrush, this insane 3D program that emulates sculpting with traditional mediums such as clay. i must say, it is very 2d artist friendly. the interface takes some getting use to, but once you start to get a feel for the tools, its pretty dope.

this started out as an exploratory study, and learning to use the program by sculpting a generic human head, but the tools made it so that i kinda got out of hand and ended up designing some kind of vampire dude. its just a head with no body but i didn't wanna be too overwhelmed.

please don't be too harsh on me since its my first, lol, and for any zbrush gurus that have any suggestions or tips, i'm all ears. =)

it feels good to draw from life once again. aiming for a realist feel for hands. i haven't done it in a while and am in need of the practice. a lot of fun indeed =)

i've already finished the design but i figured i'd like to keep a journal of progress here. this one began like this. just sketchin around

an unlikely scenario but one can entertain this idea. and who knows what the writers at marvel and DC might cook up for the hell of it...lol

wall stains.

i busted my left hand this morning. to be more specific, my last two knuckles. i was having this weird dream where a friend and i were fighting off these psychopaths trying to murder us. at some point, we were inside this big room with 2 doors, facing opposite each other, and there was one killer left. all of the other killers were holding hand held weapons, like knives, and sticks. we both had no idea which door the killer was going to be entering from so we were facing back to back i guess. somehow i knew the killer was going to go through my friends door, so i alerted him and we both ran towards one door. being that it is my dream, go figure. when the killer entered the door, he immediately went for my friends neck with a screwdriver, at which point my friend defended himself with his left hand. the screwdriver went through his hand, and that's where i was to slow to jump in. i then yanked his attacking hand away from my friend, the assailant still firmly grasping his weapon, and decided to proceed by giving him a hard punch to the face. the funny part was that my friend deflated, as if he was a blow up doll, and my hand hit my wall in real life. pretty hard i might say, the cut is sill there and i left a stain on my wall. that ends this dream as i woke to go wash my hand. weird how i remembered all this...

random drawing here. every now and then i need to satisfy my love for animals of all sorts. and i've always admired stingrays. they are just beautiful. and peaceful. i use to think they were creepy because of nature's way of designing them. they camouflage so well with its environment.

oh i almost forgot. remembrance...(moment of silence)

the illustration has nothing to do with today by the way, but it might be today that motivated me to put something up on this oh so productive blog (sarcasm) lol

meet ivan.

this is ivan. he is kinda mean. he is also a drug boss from kazakhstan. the idea has been floating around in my head for some time now, and i wanted to play around with funny skull structures in a cartoonish kind of way.

first post.

hey there!

finally decided to hop on board. blogging i mean. it was about time all things considered. this blog will be dedicated to ramblings about my musings and observations as well as a venue to put up w.i.p. artwork.

cheers!
