Well Suited

Comfort. Suits. Armor. Ahhh yeeeahhhhh

Mi Armor Dos

Take 2 on the armor genre. Getting comfortable with the brushes. Possibilities gon' be limitless! Still not finished, just started the legs. Head is there, but I want to redo it.

Y-head

Ssssssspace....the final frontier. Getting a smidgen more comfortable with armor. Shiny things are cool. I should make more shiny things.

Darkness

Shedding light on the darkness. Started uploading last night, crashed and woke up to it almost done. Slowest internet ever. Damn you, Baja! Just glad Zbrush doesn't run off an internet connection.
Anyways, a dragon form of Darkness from the movie Legend with Tom Cruise. Tim Curry scared the crap out of me when I was a wee lad. I was thinking about his character when I sketched this guy out in my Moleskin.

Dark Times

Sweet petunias! 4 HOURS! That's how long it took to upload this! I'm practically sculpting half the face right now, while this was trucking itself on the interwebs. For my WIPs I'm putting them in this silhouette style to show its form and give it a little mystique, even though this concept was submitted in the previous months.

Back, Back, Back, STOP.

Reintro/PacRim:
I'm alive! At the halfway point of the move, now bumming some super slow internet. It took 20 minutes to upload this jpeg. :| Yeah. It's brutal, but at least my computer is back on and I'm balls deep in Zbrush. Right before the move, I saw a certain monster movie...Pacific Rim. I swear, everyone online is doing fan art of it. Why? Because it's bad ass, that's why! I don't know why some critics are trying to smash it for not having an Oscar quality script. WHO CARES!? IT'S MONSTERS AND GIANT ROBOTS! NUFF SAID!

Model:
These are silhouettes of the monster in the making. Still want to add a stronger form to it. This is closer to step 2 out of 5, just getting out of concept and making a model.

More to come....more to come.

Moving mode

Computer will be packed up for the journey. Will be back to sculpting as soon as I'm able. Wish me luck!

Armor-gerd

Ermahgerd...ermerr! Slash line and pinch...THAT'S the secret! and hPolish. The one thing no zbrush sculptor has ever said in any books I've ever read. Those jerks. But now I share this with you. GO! Hence forth and sculpt armor plated minions!

Blank Space

Making blanks for later is good time filler. Still trying to get that armor genre down. Digging the Slash Line brush. I can see its neck open the elements with all the tendons tensed up.

Mech Dragon

Intertwining dragons and mechs, mechdragons, mechgons...I dunno. Also got a hold of some new brushes like slash. Not even close to finished with this guy, but still not sure what else he's going to consist of.

Whagon

Whale dragon...whagon. Way-gon or Wag-on? All I know is it's a biter.

Whale Boy Colored

Hazzah! Vale boy est complete!
...well for the most part. I didn't know how or if even it would be possible to pop in an eye for the whale part  without doing that in a separate program. Looking at it now, I'd enlarge the face in general, add a tooth, and actually sculpt hair. Painting is still in its infancy.

Done for the Day

- tightened suit and skin
- whale eye lids
- child's eyes
- lots of pinching

SOoo Sore

A full day and a half of walking around San Fran for the fourth, then trekking from Market and up Embarcadero to catch a ferry[not a bad ride], then another walk from the ferry station back home....[gasp] and I'm back in front of the computer. Still sore, but wanted to make some updates for Whaleboy.

His whale eye, mouth with complimentary buck teeth, nose and my own personal addition to him...the back hatch[for when he goes boom boom]

Cetacean Child[wip]

Another one of my already traditional pieces, but not yet up to fruition, digitally. Cetacean Child! D:
Needed to keep up the dailies, but amidst a dumb BART strike and it being Independence Day, everyone who is partaking in any activities in downtown San Fran[this guy], one must find other means of transport over yonder. I'm with about 75-80%[no actual survey done] of the Bay Area population in hating Unions because of their PERFECT timing to go on strike...but alas the sculpt.

Whaleboy concept by Patrick Morgan
this design by Bobby Chiu[Nicest guy in the business]
I could only put in 45min before having to take off at the crack of dawn to get into the city reasonably[due to aforementioned groups, but I digress]. His tumtum is very picky. One must be very diligent in finding the most effective placement to achieve proper deliverance of extreme cuteness in this child's obesity[but an obese child is nothing to laugh at!]. And look at his boom boom room! :O DAWWWWWW!
So much more to do, but it's almost time to be an awesome American and watch huge colorful explosions in the sky to celebrate rubbing our freedom in from monarchy[I'm sure they're lovely people, though]!
I'll finish him when I get back tomorrow.

Happy Fourth of July errbody!

The Colors, Duke! The Colors!

Playing with paint like a kid with a clean wall...that shaped it into this alien thing. Super quick paint job...for my experience, which this is my first time using it.
The sculpt was about an hour.[Didn't know what I wanted, it just became this.]
Painting about 45min

Wrankles

Deco brush or as I would like to call it the lazy brush...or time saver. When all ideas are out of grasp...do dragons.

Slowly But Surely

I guess now I have a digital version of the orc I did traditionally. Original concept was done by Alejandro Mirabal.
One a day shouldn't be too hard to keep up with. Last night I think the tally was at 3 or 4, but they were too horrendous to post. Better get as much in as I can before the big day. :|
