Frau Pech the Hexen beast and the Baron Pufferfish.
No concept was provided for Frau so I got to do some freestyle concepting in ZBrush which was a lot of fun!

Blog Revival - Art Dump 2013 - Kris Costa ZBW Course

Ok so I cheated on Blogger for a while and moved my posts over to my weebly hosted portfolio website. After a few months I realized I don't like it. Blogger is better and I want to keep posting my evolution as an artist in one place. That may sound pretentious but I think it's really important to be able to see just how far you've come in ANY practice or passion.

Measuring progress is what humans do.

I'm still growing and learning every single day and I will continue to post my work and practice here for as long as Google can handle it.

Here are some examples of my Neanderthal studies done week by week during the ZBrushWorkshops - Kris Costa Course. The course spanned 10 weeks. 

I can't recommend both Kris' class and the Platform that Ryan Kingslien has developed enough! 

Kris has some really great feedback and critique sessions throughout, and the way Ryan has the forums set up per class is wonderfully helpful. This is the future of learning! 

I plan to finish this project out in VRay and take the overall sculpt to a more finished 3D print ready piece in time.

But for now this is all straight from ZBrush 4r5 + PS

Kris had us start our characters from Skull studies.

Working from the inside out to develop our character over the 10 week course.

Here's what evolved out of it.
