speed sculpts

Just made 2 new speed sculpts. 1 hour each :)

Sea man Maquette

I have been attending a cg workshop in concepting and maquetting in zbrush.
I had bryan wyrnia as teacher. He has a really nice way of looking at things, very traditional.

Having only little former experience with zbrush, I thought this was a good way of getting into things really fast.
And sure enough, pretty fast I got comfortable with his method, and I am definitely doing more of this stuff!

Our goal was to create our version of the creature described in lovecrafts story of the shadow over innsmouth.
He forced us to only use real life reference and no inspirational pictures (drawn ones / already interpret ones).
This was actually a really nice way of starting the creative part of creating this sea creature, where you could just look at all these fish and toads and try and kind of mix them together and really make your piece believable.

You can see my result here, where it it composited and all done.

I did alot of colour tweaking aswell as adding stuff like saliva in photoshop.

Hope you enjoy the piece!

Sketch #001

Might aswell bring some system to it, so I can just draw and not necesarily find a name for everything i do.
