I need a name for this character.  Any suggestions?  The idea, when I started, was to make a friend for the hillbilly/redneck guy I was making previously (see a couple of posts below).  But now he’s looking much more along the cute line, so I’m not sure where to take him in the end.

I’m also playing with the presentation a bit, adding in a more interesting backdrop behind the sculpt and giving the “clay” a more cartoony look to it.  Let me know how you like it.  Oh, and I hope you like Burl Ives…

Another time lapse video of me digitally sculpting a new character.  This one with a giant brain, but a tiny face.

The first of three cartoon woman busts I want to digitally sculpt in Zbrush. I’m trying to sculpt them in a very similar method to how I draw, which is based off the construction method most popularly seen in the Preston Blair cartooning books.  Here is the first woman, whom I’m calling Lucy.

I started a digital sculpture of a pirate in Zbrush this weekend. It’s still quite early on, but I’ll add updates as I go along.

This is my first time recording my progress as I sculpt digitally in Zbrush. I didn’t know what I make as I started, I just hit record to try the feature out and before I knew it I was making this bust. I’ll post updates as I make them.

This is an old model I had made in Maya as a study of an actual sculpt that I absolutely loved. The original artist had really captured a certain sense of appeal and I was trying to discover those aspects by modeling it in the computer myself. I recently went back in and detailed up the tree base he is sitting on and rendered out this turntable.

You can find the original sculpt at this link below. It looks like you can still buy it.
