Thought I'd start up my own sketchbook thread, would be nice to get some other guys on here involved in their own sketchbooks too! I'm hoping to try get at least one speed sculpt a day into this bad boy to focus on improvement, although how long it'll last for is yet to be seen

While facebooking this morning during a break at uni, I came across some work by an FX artist called Jordu Schell (so not taking credit for the concept) and decided to try transition it into a speed sculpt which took about 2 hours. Trying to focus on getting up to speed with forms right now, will be updating this thread more when I get time - hopefully loads over easter holiday. Thanks everyone

Another one, should really get on with my character class work more before I get in trouble

Started yesterday but only got half an hour done before I was called to go out and didn't wanna rush it, so finished today -

Couple more, forgot to add them here, my bad! Unfortunately ran outta time on sculpting Ulthane, had to try a few methods before settling on the hair. :/ Sill need to improve my cloth and hair sculpting...



Also my take on Monkey from the game 'Enslaved' by Ninja Theory. I say 'my take' as getting a likeness to Andy Serkis and then exaggerating it to fit the character's proportions was kinda tough! Anyway, speed sculpt #4 :-

Hey everyone, long time since my last post Anyway,here's my 'mini' themed version of Vulgrim from the game Darksiders, hope y'all like

The initial sculpt:

Wires and map:



I also created a simple rig for him, nothing major - just wanted to see how the mesh would deform, etc. It can be viewed here:

Thanks

Hi Philip,
Great to see your new work on the forum. The new Vulgrim piece is looking very cool. It's interesting because tonally, it's completely different than the character in the game with the soft edges and the really bright colors, but it definitely still resembles him. So you got the big recognizable features of his character like the horns and wings, and the "skirt" (for lack of a better term), successfully transferred to this new style.

Regards
Ryan

Ryan - Thanks a lot for the feedback much appreciated, I want to get more into the hand-painted style

Doing some WoW Fanart of a Worgen bust - trying to keep it just under 3k tris with a 512 diffuse map. Still some basic block colors right now, hope I can get it looking sweet in the end
