Finally managed to whip up a hyper realistic resul

Finally managed to whip up a hyper realistic result using my new favorite 3D programs Zbrush and Substance Painter. This is a scan of a real human being’s skin applied to a face that I sculpted. I feel like I’m finally no longer just a novice at 3D art, and I’m getting ready to take on more intermediate challenges. Swipe for different angles and a few different lighting scenarios.

For the past couple of months I’ve been diligent

For the past couple of months I’ve been diligently life drawing twice a week at various places around NYC. Here’s a slideshow of some of the poses I’ve tackled from a lot of amazing dynamic models. I highly recommend the practice for anyone really, it’s a meditation, a fun hobby, a rapid skill builder, and learning alongside others is a salve for the depressive loneliness that many of us have experienced as a result of coronamania and all the other causes of general malaise. ✍️

Ozlo. My brother made up a character for an RPG we used to play, so I made him into a character in Hobo City with one of his names (with variations and nicknames) His shoulder pads are padded with straws from the landfill. I’ve been toying with the eye deah of publishing a game as in RPG old school dice and collaborative storytelling devices, PCs, worldbuilding, backstories can be revealed, comic pages can be thrown in, random illustrations, accompaniment books like what I’m building with these inked characters. It’ll be a novel in game format, that you the player and friends finish writing temporally. Good thing there’s a deity of time in my mythos. Does anyone I know have interest and experience in games dev esp rpg?

Made this Formica Daemon in Zbrush with the render

Made this Formica Daemon in Zbrush with the render as a turntable animatic BPR staying “inside zbrush” in the hive. My next challenge will be something finer in detail and taking another stab at Substance.

The Gynoid Blue Experiment is through trials, stam

The Gynoid Blue Experiment is through trials, stamped in renders fired off by the stoned lab assistant in the middle of the night. Concluded tests and made aware of enmeshed improprieties, but still slid into home with some amazing renders after a little greased lightning did the trick. We’ll be meeting in hangar bay 6 for cupcakes and Xian’s latest homebrew flight, including the one he named Blue Gynomite, blueberry stout naturally. Ok, this is Siggy, signing out, keep your triangles tight and your Ngons in the Nzone!

Ola- protag hobo girl, daughter of the alchemist k

Ola- protag hobo girl, daughter of the alchemist kinger, accidental mushroom tripper, the sullen innocent type, percolating under the rising persona a ferocity can be triggered when apropos. The character and the character creation are both 17 years old now. That was one of the times I fell in stupid love, when I do it’s always impractical, when it’s *convenient I always get taken for a ride. In the story she hurts the guy, by simply leaving. He’s kinda lucky cause it’s never that simple in real life. This is only a myth. Boy, stop crying. I like this kind of nose. You know?

A young Hobo King. You see, many of my characters

A young Hobo King. You see, many of my characters have grown in real time in a sense and non chronologically in another sense. I have a mythology with three epochs and multiple generations within each of these, and each with political factions, main characters, and cataclysmic events. The Hobo King was played by a live actor once, rooftop ventilator as crown, and I ironed black liquor store bags together to form a tattered cape. Here I am thinking about costume and coming closer to my wardrobe style, which has always been in my head, as if submerged, what my art shows is really the tip of the iceberg. I need a studio to take me on so I can produce it. I’m serious. Netflix spectacular. Open world game. I don’t assert myself enough in the pro world, I’m anti-narcissistic, and I think the need to deal with narcissists, the narcissist necessity, like pimps standing in every doorway, blocking entry with a heavy cowboy boot, this stops me from producing. I can’t navigate it. I need help. Help me circumnavigate the vassal state. We can split the loot.

This is Boscoe. One of my oldest characters. I mad

This is Boscoe. One of my oldest characters. I made him up during an RPG campaign when I was like 12. Then he was a thief, the leader of a group of three thieves. Later when I was incorporating old thought forms into my mythology, I combined the thieves into one guy with three personalities. I’m practicing here for an upcoming endeavor where I create an illustrated compendium of all the characters of the mythos. I’m not sure what medium to use, returning to this comic pen and ink style might be the way to go.

A gynoid to run through a transference from #dazst

A gynoid to run through a transference from #dazstudio to #zbrush for customization of the sculpt, maintain surface detail in the export, back to Daz to apply a custom pose I made earlier, then back to zbrush where I will continue the sculpt. I plan to separate the joints of the android carapace next, and hopefully get a decent render out of #substancepainter I expanded my matcap library and used a BPR render preset to get this slightly retro metallic look in Zbrush. Off to my day job as a decluttering specialist!
