Fibers Test #2

Almost immediately after uploading my first Fibermesh test I went back into ZBrush and redid the whole process. This time with far less fibers and bit more coarse. The results are much better the 2nd time around.
I will continue to use this method for the rest of the body soon.

Silverback Tests in KeyShot

Some early tests on a Silverback I'm working on.
I just wanted to share some progress shots, initially trying to see how KeyShot handles large amounts of Fibermesh from ZBrush.
These are 20-30min screenshots from the realtime viewport.

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!

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!

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.

Season 1 + Season 2 (Sabertooth)

The Engineer

The start of an Engineer sculpt....

Vlad-tastic

Forgot to post this the other night. Just another quick pose, trying to figure out how to get some convincing force from the Vamprey. Really over extended the jaw and forced the teeth out further to give more impact. This is far from my final pose. The Vamprey is undergoing a retop and after that's done I'll be able to really get into some Blend Shapes and poses!

Vlad Doe shader Update

Next I attack the parasite's details.
Special thanks goes out to Paul Gaboury. His book is extremely awesome!! I look forward to more from him! You can find it here:

Hour 3..

1hr A Day...

As of Monday I made a personal goal to sculpt 1hr everyday....for myself.
Sculpting Grimm busts all week leaves me hungry for more and the ideas are piling up in my head.
So here's one of the thumbnails from the other day, pushed an hour further. Dynamesh is such a deadly weapon I can't get over it!

Holy Hot-swappable Heads

First dabble with Mechanical/Hard Surface sculpting in Zbrush.
Very WIP and I really just wanted to get my feet wet....
But now I'm totally addicted after feeling the freedoms that come with Dynamesh.
Zbrush you are sincerely my favorite software hands down!
Done in one sitting....this is the future of thumbnailing in my opinion.

And yes...Prometheus melted my face.... to be honest I was concepting with no reference, yet you can see the impact it left on me.

Female Sculpt - BPR Skin Test

Just a quick look at a Female sculpt I'm working on. Hoping to use her in a few concepts I've got stuck in my head.

Quick Sculpt

Just a quicky I did after seeing Fernando Issamo's sketch:

Like I said in my ZbrushCentral thread, I may keep pushing this guy. I'm having fun and mouthless things kind of freak me out!

Hard Surface and Organics Final

Here's what I submitted at my final in my 3D modeling class. Didn't get as far as I wanted with it, but I'm soooo happy with my progression. I consider this my first 3D project just because of the time I've spent on it. I'd give an estimate but I quite counting hours long ago. Maybe 50? Anyway I will try and upload some other paint colors as well. I still have Headlights, Tail Lights, Fog lights, Wheels, And tires, Plus exhaust pipes out the back. I'm planning on polishing this bad boy until its demo reel material, so expect more updates as I get it done.
