Monster Creature Dude Head Texture and Render Test.

I completed sculpting and texturing the head of my new creature character last night. I learned a few more polypainting techniques recently and I employed them with this sculpt. This head was created and rendered in ZBrush and I composited the multi-pass renders in Photoshop. Let me know what you think.

WIP: New Creature Concept Blueprints

Pillager Concept. (c) 2013 Michael J. Barnes.

I had an idea recently for a new illustration featuring a fantastical monster creature dude. I’m not going to go into too much detail about the final illustration, but I will share my concept of the monster-creature-dude. Here is the initial “blueprints” for the 3-D model of him naked. I am currently working on his attire, which will be mostly armor. I will post that blueprint when I complete it.

I am working up some ideas for a new “fantasy” illustration. I’m not exactly sure where I am going with this yet. But here is a sketch of an alien creature. I know it’s an alien creature because it has four eyes. I have decided to call it a quadceratops. You can view more of my sketches in My Sketch Book.

The completed illustration featuring my “Grumpy” character overlooking his woodsy domain. This is a self-promotional fantasy piece. Hope you like it.
