1 Hour Speed Sculpt - Femme Fatale 1

2011-03-30T06:13:00.001-07:00

Sorry, I had to cut the first part (ZSphere/sketching) because my tablet was messing with me a lot so I had to close Zbrush and reinstall the tablet. I didn't use any reference pics (which you shouldn't do) because I wanted to know how far I could go without reference pics.

Blocking in & Initial Texture (1 Day)

She might be cross-eyed so I'll fix that and add eyelashes next. I'm going for old-school approach so I'm just planning to stick with diffuse and specular maps (the normal could be generated from the maps).

The First Lady Concept

2009-12-08T17:18:00.001-08:00

Just throwing some ideas for next project. There's a competition on Threedy Forum that I want to join in (the topic is about Slayer) but I'm not sure I can make it. Anyway, I'm happy I get to draw some car again.

Some idea for a character to go with the car. It's meant to be quick (dirty) sketch but I thought I could always use more practice on coloring/texturing. This is by no means the final sketch for the character because there are still more design ideas I want to explore (that's why I didn't finish with her face).

[WIP] - The Magdalena Turntable

2009-09-09T19:30:00.000-07:00

Just trying to make turntable of my Magdalena. It's still work-in-progress

2009 Comicon Challenge

2009-09-02T09:53:00.000-07:00

This year I decided to model Magdalena from Witchblade universe. The goal is to make her stylized like in the comics with more superhero body proportion (and to represent Top Cow Comics of course). The full progress can be viewed HERE

2D Sketch - 1 day

3D Sketch - 4/5 days
I usually start with concept art but this time I decided to jump right into 3D sketch first since I already know what I want to do on the model. But I'll do some sketches later when I'm not too occupied. I spent a lot of time on this stage to make sure that I get the proportion and the look of the character right.

[Update July 30, 2009]

[Update August 2, 2009]

[Update August 3, 2009]

[Update] - High Resolution model

The ZBrush model is basically done. All I need is to put the pieces together. I'll try to get some turnaround in ZBrush using the new turntable later.

[Update] - Low Resolution Model

The low res model is around 90% done. I just need to add some belts.

[Update] - Quick Texture Test (in Marmoset Engine)

[Weapon Update July 25, 2009]

[WIP] - Project Dean

2008-09-24T07:44:00.001-07:00

Just brainstorming ideas for new project. This is mainly for practice that I started today but if I like how it turns out, I could make it into a new project.

Cat Archer

2008-09-04T02:18:00.000-07:00

New small project I've been working for 2 days (concept - 3D sketch). It's another practice before I jump onto bigger project.

Concept Art

3D Sketch

Game Model

The model is over 1500 but it's not optimized yet. Hopefully, I can bring it down to 1500.

Update WIP September 8

I managed to work on this model more. I optimized the model again and managed to bring the polycount down below 1,500 triangles.

Update - September 9

Updated the texture. I blocked in most of the textures.

Last Update - September 10

Model rigged and posed. I also tweak the mesh and texture based on some comments.

Time lapsed: 5 days

[Progress] - Psylocke from 3D Sketch to Present State

2008-08-28T12:38:00.000-07:00

I've been working on the model on and off. Sometimes I do have time to work on it whole day but sometimes something important comes up (e.g. art test, interview, family matters, etc.) and I have no choice to hold the project back.

Aug 4 -5 - 3D Sketch Done (2 days)

Basically, I need to lock down the proportion and get a better picture of how my concept art will translate into 3D.

Aug 9 - Blocking-in

I started to blocking in body parts in ZBrush.

Aug 14 - More Blocking-in & Boots sculpted

Aug 20 - Hands Sculpted

I decided to give her different type of glove to break the silhouette a little bit. Also, I tweaked her proportion a bit based on some comments I got.

Aug 25 - Blocking-in the Corset

Aug 27 - Sculpt Nearly Done

I still need to refine her head and sculpt the hairlines (maybe refine other areas too). Next step is to create the low-poly version of her and texture.

Aug 28 - Hairlines Sculpted

Just some quick update on the hair and more tweaking on the proportion.

Total time logged in (12 hours = 1 day):
7 days & 9 hours roughly

[WIP] - Psylocke updates Aug 15

2008-08-14T03:18:00.000-07:00

Daily update as promised. Although I only managed to work on the hand/glove. Hopefully, I can have more stuffs done tomorrow.

Time logged in (12 hours = 1 day)
6 Days roughly (Concept -> 3D Sketch -> present)

[WIP] - Psylocke Head Aug 9

2008-08-09T03:06:00.000-07:00

I just started blocking the proportion for the head. I haven't spent a lot of time on it so there are still a lot of things to clean up.

Time logged in
4 Days + 3 hours

[Portfolio] - Thorny Devil Page 1

2008-06-18T22:39:00.000-07:00

Here's my portfolio of my thorny devil character. I'll post more pages of him later.

[Portfolio] - Horse Statue Breakdowns

2008-06-17T02:10:00.001-07:00

As promised. A video clip of the turnaround will be available soon.

Updates on the horse statue

2008-06-11T00:26:00.000-07:00

It's been slow progress but nonetheless, it's finally rendered (I even named them). I'll post more breakdowns and shots soon.

DW3 Characters Revisited

2008-05-18T14:55:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to refine the head of my Dominance War 3 character as well as redesigning some of the parts for the characters.

Thorny Devil Final Update

2008-05-15T17:56:00.000-07:00

Time to put this one to the rest (for now...) and move on the new project. There are some parts that I want to change and add but it's good for now.

Low poly horse update April 30, 2008

2008-05-01T09:42:00.000-07:00

Here's some updates on the horse. My friend said she'd like to animate it for her reel. It should be interesting. It sits around 4,400 Tris now but I'm not too worry about the polycount on this model as long it's animatable.

The update on the ZBrush model.

New portfolio & crow

2008-04-23T14:10:00.000-07:00

I don't have many updates now because I'm updating my portfolio.

Also, I'm experimenting different methods using alpha and normal map on this model.

DW3 poster & lizard update

2008-04-17T07:08:00.001-07:00

This is something that I came up for DW3 team poster. We had to use simple BG for this one but I may change that later for personal use.

Also, I did another test render for the lizard guy because I'm planning to render it for widescreen.

Finally made it...sort of

2008-04-13T19:25:00.000-07:00

I finally completed my entry for DW3 even though I'm not quite happy with the presentation but I was running out of time. I'm still planning to work on this a bit more and polish it more. There are some items/accessories that are missing on these characters.

DW III Updates April 6

2008-04-06T20:51:00.001-07:00

Some updates for my entry. I might be able to finish the ZBrush tonight so hopefully, I can start texturing tomorrow. I'm still not quite happy with the face but I'll go with it for now.

Dominance War III - 3D entry

2008-04-01T09:53:00.000-07:00

Here's my 3D entry for DW3. Thank God for the extension. I'm planning to have 2 characters for the entry. The main character will have summoning ability. The spirit face needs a lot of works but I want to make it less human. The last image is the screen capture of the low poly. You can check my thread here

Dominance War III - 2D Entry

2008-04-01T09:32:00.000-07:00

Here it is. My concept art entry for Dominance War 3. I'll keep it updated. You can check my thread here

Flag Girl WIP

2008-04-01T08:53:00.000-07:00

Initially, I was trying to model Jennifer Nicole, one of the Bullrun flag girls but I couldn't find good reference pictures of her (I have some pictures of her but they're not good enough for references). Plus, I'm not too happy how the head turns out.

Here's new head that I'm going to use instead. I use her for reference because of my friend's suggestion.

Thorny Lizard WIP

2008-04-01T08:29:00.000-07:00

Another project I've been working on. Here's the initial concept and the paint over of the Zbrush model for color references. He's inspired by a lizard called thorny devil.

I just started texturing so it's not quite done yet (I still need to add the tribal tattoo). But I just rendered it to test the texture. I'm planning to make game resolution of this character (now it's over 10, 000 Tris). You can check the sculpting progress here

Horse WIP

2008-04-01T08:18:00.001-07:00

Originally, I was going to make a statue of 2 horses interacting with one another because it's easier to sculpt the hair and tail (instead of using Maya or XSI hair or alpha cards) but then my friend saw my work and she wanted to animate my horse with normal map on. It's still missing the hair and tail. I'm still planning to finish the statue but now I'm focusing on my Dominance War 3 entries

And here's the low poly version

Random Female Character

2008-04-01T07:54:00.000-07:00

I was going to design a femme fatale. I need a lot of works on this but I'll put on hold for now since I'm still doing the 3D sketch of her.

Celebrity Bobblehead

2008-04-01T00:25:00.000-07:00

This is my first post here. I created this model around a year ago for game art competition "Celebrity Bobblehead". The total polycount is just under 1500 Tris. It's pretty fun project.
