Hi

I’ve been a blender user for some years, startins with the 2.3x series, stopping just before 2.5 release, and coming back 2-3 years after. (i was not much interested in 3D at that time, more drawing, and digital painting) And then i came back 2 years ago, just before the discover of sculptris that made me love 3D again. And coming back to Blender, i tried to understand it again. I guess i understand what i do. But there’s far more things to be done with blender than i do, so… :slight_smile:

I just saw the sketchbook section, that was something that i was longing for (wip zone the closest one), so i make mine, here.
i’ve always thought what i do didn’t deserve to open a topic. But as sketchbook section opens, things change. So I open one. And with the opening, i put some images. Mostly sculpts, maybe classical modeling. all done in the last year.

Thank you for watching.

Hey,
Some more old things, to feed the thread, and make it grow a little, so there’s something to see






Wonderful posts!!
Keep posting. Excellent tread!

powerful. These sketchbooks are amazing.

Amazing work here. I really like the stone heads. Those are very neat to see.

Thanks dudes.
I can’t do many stuff as i’m working for my exams, but in several days, there’s gonna be new stuff.
now, old stuff.

game stuff:
Sculpt



retopobakedtextured


and something unrelated.

The brain-headed thing looks like something ripped out of the Doom video game.

I especially like that first image (the small scale landscape), it looks so realistic and rocky, yet almost has a paper-like quality to it, which I find to be a really interesting blend of realism and abstract.

Don’t have much of an opinion on the second piece though, I’m trying to figure out what it’s supposed to be (which I realize is typical for a lot of ‘modern’ style art pieces).


@Ace Dragon : Yeah, it’s part of something bigger, graffiti-style thing
I don’t know what you mean about “something ripped out of the Doom video game.”

Wicked stuff! I really like the landscape and the sculpts.

Wow! I am truly amazed by all those great renders in this new sketchbook section!

For this sketchbook: the sculpts look great, but I especially like the “pink & purple spaghetti ball” :slight_smile:
Also the graffiti-thingy has this strange quality about it that makes me keep on looking at it. Did you use toon-shaders and/or Freestyle for that?

Those heads are really amazing and remind me of Mignola’s art - fantastic work.

Can I ask you what is your texturing/material process for those?

awesome :smiley:
how in the world did you make that ball thing

Your “little heads” are very intriguing.:wink:
Very interesting works, very eclectic thread.:smiley:

I like them all! :slight_smile:

Re-opened at OP request

Thanks Fweeb!

it’s been a long time without 3D

there’s something, dyntopoed, with its retopo




Some great works in here! Keep it up! :]

Man, these are awesome! Definitely a unique style. Keep posting them!

bonrw1, GISdude, thanks :smiley:

some quick sculpt, more for trying some old grainy NPR material than anything else.
