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.

..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!

ZBrushCentral Top Row!

http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?172713-GRIMM-

My "Grimm Creatures" thread over at ZbrushCentral.com made Top Row last week!
This is a massive honor for me, and it was pretty surreal when a buddy of mine gave me the heads up.
ZbrushCentral more than any other site is responsible for enabling me to be a self taught digital sculptor.
The community there is a few notches above everything else I have ever come across, as far as willingness to share techniques, base meshes, critiques, materials, and resources. I'm very thankful for all the time I've poured into reading those forums, and intensely thankful to them for spotlighting my work in such a huge way!!
Thanks Pixologic you guys absolutely rock!

New Site - www.jerodbogh.com

I've been pretty busy lately, but last night I locked down a new domain to house my Portfolio from now on. www.jerodbogh.com

Here's are a few images to celebrate the new site with!

Venom Part 1

Couldn't resist starting a sculpt of Venom after seeing this amazing concept. Venom Concept
Damn I have waaay too many projects started at this point.

Always been a big Venom fan, but the attempt at adding some realism to this villian really caught my eye. I'd love to have this bust printed in 3D at some point.
More to come....

GRIMM - Creatures

I've had a blast working on Creatures for GRIMM. All in all ~30 for Season 1 but here's a small sample of some of them via promo stills.
