Some years ago I made a statue based on the Lollipop Chainsaw video game, at the time I had never tried digital sculpture (or rather I had but turned it straight off because it was far too confusing), so today I thought I’d see if I could improve on the original base that I made and how quick the process was, I have to say I much prefer the digital approach for hard surface modelling and can’t wait to try some 3d printing.
Here’s an update on the digital sculpture of Cartoon Network’s Uncle Grandpa that I’ve been working on, learning as I go, decided to take it a step further and add a couple more characters and the text.
and here it is with the colours added
Just a little progress on a personal piece I started some time ago, this goes on hold every time commission work comes up but it’s taking shape, soon enough I’ll get to paint and fabricate these guys.
I’m still taking small steps into the exciting world of digital sculpture (I’m not quitting traditional), I’m making some progress, this will be the first piece that I actually see through to the end and hopefully get 3d printed, can’t wait to see the results, still a little way to go yet, but here it is, Uncle Grandpa from Cartoon Network.
In an attempt to get with the times I’m having a go at zbrush, it’s pretty complicated stuff! But the aim is to start incorporating some 3d printing into my sculpted work.
Another piece I’m working on at the moment, this was inspired by stories of people unknowingly wandering into dangerous places while tracking down Pokemon. To compose the sketch quickly I used several found reference photos of alleyways and put them together like a collage, I then used zbrush to quickly build some figures which I pasted over the alleyway collage. I already had a clear idea of how I wanted this to look and the camera angle/composition so this was a quick way to get the idea down as a starting point. I then looked at a ton of Pokemon characters and did plenty of sketching to see which had silhouettes that would lend themselves to being menacing men in badly made costumes.
Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns, this piece illustrates that fear, here are some progress shots from my time making this piece, you can find the finished piece on my 3D illustration page.
Some work in progress on a new piece….
This is an old image but maybe of interest to some, it shows how I work from a rough initial sketch to the finished 3D illustration.
Here I wanted to share just some of the work that went into making a Paranorman staue for a client, there was a lot of work involved in this one!
