Here’s something I’m working on right now just to take a break from my regular freelance grind

Took a break from school/thesis work to work on the dwarves today. I got into Zbrush with new armor for the warrior and this is where I’m at after 5ish hours of sculpting. 

I posed my high res sculpt of the dwarf rifleman tonight, here it is along with the low poly!

Well… been a crazy couple of days and I haven’t been posting work I’m doing! here is a new low poly of a dwarf rifleman. Made the blunderbuss all this morning! I’ll eventually do a nice high poly pose of the dwarf but now I have to do homework 🙁 

I will write about this later, I’m so exhausted…

Taking a quick break from thesis work because well… it isn’t the most enjoyable thing to me at the moment. That will change once I finish this preliminary work and really get into the meat of the project! Anyways, my first client ever who is the reason I bought Zbrush in the first place asked me to make 5 dwarves for a project.

Here is the base sculpt that will be used in all of the dwarves, each will have a different beard, weapon, and clothes. I started this base mesh yesterday from some sphere, did some retopology and got to sculpting! Now it’s time for some armor…

Cheers! Time to clean and make some valentines dinner for Bridget.

This blog is going to be absolutely filled with thesis work after I actually begin working on it. Right now I’m prepping for my midpoint review where I pitch my idea to some professors on a panel. I’m currently concepting out the characters which for me is always a struggle. Here is a work in progress of the first, I need to take a break from him and move on to the next.

I can see the light at the end of my tunnel… After some SERIOUS freelance work for the past couple of weeks I’m about to finish all of my projects over the weekend. Here is a sculpt I did today, have to do a little girl next and the family is done for one project. The rest is all under NDA but I will have a huge post with 6 characters I’ve made after they are all complete. Cheers! Back to work I go.

Wow, this past week and a half have been a complete whirlwind. I haven’t been able to post any work because I’m been up to my ears in freelance work. I have 4 projects I’m simultaneously working on and some looming on the horizon. I’m still trying to apply to a job here or there but right now I’m taking advantage of this honey hole of freelance and taking care of business.

I’ll be posting up new artwork soon, I don’t have a choice to be honest. My senior thesis pitch is in March and I’m doing some really high quality Zbrush tests to prove my skills and a ton of concept art that’s going to take hours. School starts in February but I’m not really expecting anything amazing coming out of there until late in the semester. Anyways, better get back at it! Cheers.

Here’s the second tourist for the group I’m creating. It’s the female counterpart to the first guy I made. I’m reusing pants, shoes and arms just by changing colors and such to save some time. Here’s her polypaint and sculpt! The polypaint is faded in this render but I don’t have time to mess around with it.
