Sculpting with a mouse!

So today I was sitting in class next to a guy who is sculpting for a project he is on working on himself.
And I just wanted to sculpt so bad! watching him as he go, But I had no wacom tablet.
So I just for fun, started up zbrush.
And all I did really was to play around with the dynamesh sphere. but at some point I was like, fuck it! Even though I promised myself to never use a mouse for zbrush I went for it!.
It was very different, and quite difficult aswell, But after a bit more than an hour I think I got a satisfying result :).
I actually feel quite surprised that I could make something that actually looked quite cool with just a mouse.
But you can see it here and judge it yourself :)

a few sculpts

The troll was meant as a mockup or quick concept for a mocap project I am working on at school right now :)
rest just practicing!

That is what happens when you go to see your parents I guess :).

But here it is, another quickie. quite fun, blobby kind of guy .

And as usual I made a video of my process

speedsculpt #009

Newest one from today done.
This time I tried using the clay tubes mostly for a change, I like how it makes a lot of happy accidents.
Though I gotta admit, I do like the clay buildup a bit more, it seems to give me better results.
But here goes.

Hope you enjoy.
I am not all to happy about how the top of his head ended up looking looking like. It just seems a bit off to me.

You can see a video of the making here:

Speedsculpt #008

So today My girlfriend challenged me to do a cute speedsculpt for once.
And I was like, Bring it girl!
So actually, this was harder than I first thought. And 2 times I started completely over with a new concept because it either didn't work or was creepy-ish. :O
But I ended up with a fairly satisfying result, so I guess it was good to get out of my comfort zone and try something new :).

You can see it here with a fast color layout:

Speedsculpt #007

I made two slightly different versions, could quite decide what I liked the most.
this one was quite fun, though those leaves just wouldn't look right, I better look into how to the very thin stuff sometime.
besides that, very fun sculpt to do actually :).

I made a video for this aswell you can watch it here:

speedsculpt #006

This guy was done very quick, around 40min. or so I think.
I tried to keep it quick and rough.
And in the end I only had 120k polygons, So mission accomplishe.
Also another reason for keeping it quick is that I got another project we need to finish up so I will start on that now and get a lot done hopefully :) ..

If you want to watch this guy get done I made a timelapse you can watch.
And this time zbrush didn't bug out on me :)

Did this little dude today, and for the first time, I recorded myself sculpting.
It was a quite fun experience after watching thousand of videos with others sculpting, to now see how it looks when I go at it :).
