..dusting off Vlad Doe..

Hope everyone's holidays are going well.
I felt like Vlad was past due for a make-over.
I'm just concentrating on making him as real as possible, and having a blast while I revisit this creeper!
ALL of his forms have been revised quite a bit and I started on some new texturing to get a better feel for this characters direction..
I plan to keep pushing him but here's a quick peek at where he's sittin currently. Thanks for stopping by!

Vlad Part 2 - Details & Secondary Forms

Hey Internet, here's my latest timelapse documenting the progression for the Vlad Doe character. Many revisions to the Parasite forms and scale, as well as the teeth. I've really been having a lot of fun progressing this handsome devil! More to come!

Vlad Doe - Part 1 - Base Model

I saw this design for a vampire in the graphic novel the Witch Doctor and was instantly hooked. The twist on the classic vampire tale is the "Vamprey". A lamprey-like parasitoid that eats and replaces the human digestive tract. Reaching up the esophagus to feed. The fang-like appendages on its side are used as a form of hypodermic delivery of the parasite's eggs into the next host. Here's Vlad Doe, based on the early sketches done by Lukas Ketner. This is very early and a WIP. The first of a few videos I'm hoping to do about the sculpt. Thanks for looking!
