Merry Christmas!

A christmas card insertion I did in my workplace. All buldings used in background were made by and borrowed from my colleague Andrzej Litwa for Departament of Urban Planning purposes.
Rendered in Vray.

The belt and some accesories

Still much new elements need to be done and also some minor tweaks to the existing ones too... but I'm slowly nearing the end of modeling phase.

Hanzo Hasashi

Under kind permission of Vincent Proce, author of this jawdropping concept...

I started my work on bringing Mortal Kombat's Scorpion character to life, being as much accurate as I can to Vincent's artwork. Here are some results as I'm at the start of clothing the model with 3ds Max 9 cloth modifier simulation.

Asian face

For my upcoming model needs I changed the face to asian type. Also other major changes done on the model and the detailing.

 

Remodeling the posture

It's been a long time since the last post again, but I wasn't lazy during that period. I completely changed the character and I'm near finishing the naked man.

And more...

Some more of the guy

Cleo - better resolution

A quick return to Cleo. Bigger resolution and a small change to the hair shadow on face.

And another small update

More of the arms, neck and beginning of torso

Arm sculpting

I've started to work on the arm, the palm wasn't touched yet.

Average male base model

Ok, now the break is over, time to stop lying on the couch being lazy :)

Next project is creating a base model of a male which I'll use as a start for many other future models and I hope to learn some anatomy during the process. Here is the base model with proper topology lines which is an advance of the topology study I did here.

Cleo - front page :D

I'm very happy to share information with you, that the following CG websites

decided to plug my latest work Cleo on their front page.

Thank you very much!

Cleo - the end

The break was long but after many many changes the work is finally finished.
Here it is, I hope you like it!

Hair and overall colours

I've been fighting with hair for about two weeks now, testing all the methods through. I decided to make the hair medium straight. The hair are 3d but they still need some work especially some light specular to prevent them being flat. The colours and lighting changed again to test a new concept. It's still a sketch and I hope the mist will be done a little bit better with some pianting in 2d on the final image. The colours are very much inspired by Wojciech Siudmak palette.

I feel I'm near to the end at last.
Cheers.

Changes in composition

I made changes in compo and skin. Also the face was worked on.

Teeth are just a simple object yet.

Small progress overall

Here's a try of putting the new models into the scene. Still many things didn't change and many will.

Modeling almost done

The lizards are on their positions, the egg-spheres are done. Only some minor tweaks to the objects left.
Here's how it looks now.

The lizard

According to the subject:

Cloth end ...hopefully

Have I been complaining on lack of time? Now it was worse than before and it resulted with my long absence on the blog.

Here's what I did in the past weekend. The cloth is done, the spheres changed a bit, some background done and the rest untouched. I will get some things better (skin, eyes, eybrows, shaders etc.) after I'm done with modelling. And what's next to model? Well... some little lizards... :)

Let's begin the cloth

This time the base of cloth, many mistakes on it but it didn't visit ZBrush by now.
Eyelashes are now 3d, eyebrows still a proxy texture.

Face, eyes and skin shader

As you can see there are changes in the eyes and overall face areas. Eyelashes are currently painted but they're going to be a 3d geometry as well. Eyebrows are still texture but that's going to change too.

And here some tests, just rough renders from 3dsmax mental ray.

Flesh and blood for the girl

This is a render test with a little postproduction. The scene is going to have the same colors and composition but some more elements will come...

Details ahead

Getting more detail out of the figure. I think I can start the cloth now.

Posing test

Some more of the babe. A quick messing with the pose, still many anatomy parts need corrections. The breast part looks a little bit weird because there will be some clothing on it.

And then babe again

Two blog posts at one day, I can't remember that happened before.

So here's more of the woman I'm doing. The ear is nearly beginned, there are still mistakes in anatomy.
Basemesh made with Anatomy topology study.

Eddie again

Some more brushing with the character for fun.

Babe...

A little sneak peek of what I'm currently doing as the previously mentioned "new project".

School Dreamer... RIP ?

Two days ago I've had a fatal crash of my hard drive...
Of course I've been doing backups, but the backup of School Dreamer is too old to make me continue it... too many things to do once again...
I'm levaing the project now and I don't know when or if I'm going to continue it. That's a punishment for working on it so damn long.

For now I'm starting something new for a difference.

Eddie

A quick 1,5h messing in ZBrush for practice after long sculpting break.

Basemesh created with Zspheres.

Dworcowa street, Bydgoszcz

A commercial visualization done for "H-Art" infrastructure engineering atelier. Part of Dworcowa street in Bydgoszcz with pavement designated for modernization.

Layout change

A little change in layout - I hope you like it.
Cheers!

Head and body topology

Here's the progress of head and body.

The head is halfway through, needs the cranium, ear and proper modelling for the neck. The head is very roughly based on the Higgins model I did in ZBrush some time ago.

The body is almost done, needs some loops "here and there".
