Ice Man

Okay, so to start off 2014 (!) on this blog, here's a new character; Ice Man

First setup. Blocked out the main features, refinements and detail pass next! More to come.

Iron Man Battle Damage - Phase 1

So this is the first step towards his battle damage look. Not too happy with the spots just yet, but it's a work in progress...

More damage on Phase 2!

Iron Man - Vray render

I picked up my older Iron Man bust and decided to give him another go in vray;

Work in progress...

Brun - Caveman

Update! So I finally managed to finish my caveman! It's been a fun ride, learned a ton, but it's time to move on to new projects. Meet Brun, the caveman who found some old caveman drawings of people bowling. So he decided to carve out his own bowlingball to see what the fuss is about. ZBrush, Maya, Vray, Photoshop.

Futuristic Cop Render

So I started to retopo this guy using Topogun. Along the way changed some poportions and design elements mainly because I want it to be a suit that could actually function. As you can see he's still quite 'naked' in some areas. Working on it. Quick first render. Nothing special, using hdri and vray.

Caveman old

I went back in ZBrush and played some more with fibremesh. I love it! I did however export .obj´s of the hairs instead of exporting curves driving a hair system in Maya. Need to look into that. So he´s aged a bit since last time, but I think it suits him better with his current build and details. Next stop needs to be the cave!

Caveman haircut

He's got some hair! First pass with fibermesh... Still a little too 'groomed' for a caveman, will need to rough him up a little.

More to come!

Caveman texture

So I went back to texturing this bad boy and gave him a complete overhaul. I think I'll work from here. Texturing is first pass so more details will surface... I also changed the camera framing so it will be clearer to tell my story. Next thing we'll be it's environment. Quick comp:

Caveman

A little update on my caveman. Still sculpting, but doing test renders as well... Work in progress:
