That’s pretty much all I’ve been doing lately. Which is good, I suppose, since I certainly still need much practice.
That’s my 3rd and best attempt at a face in ZBrush recently.
The first attempt looked a bit like a squashed ball with features stuck on it. Like a Mr. Potato Head, but with a smaller potato. Okay, so it wasn’t that bad. But it was pretty awful, even for something that I had intended to be orcish.
No pictures yet. I’ve been heavy on the starting and light on the finishing when it comes to new projects.
Tried making an evil, angry demon-cat-thing in Zbrush (head only) and while it looks reasonably like a demon-cat-thing, it’s not remotely close to looking evil and angry. I think the word that best describes it’s expression is “cheerful”. Definitely not what I was going for…
Messing around with ZBrush today and ended up with something I thought was interesting. Just a random “practice head” but it’s different from what I normally tend towards.
I’ve imported it into Photoshop (as a document) and I’m trying out a new technique (for me) with it. So far I’m liking the result. If it turns out as well as I hope, I’ll post a picture of it soon.
On the drumming side of things, I purchased a Beatnik RA1200p last week. It’s essentially a high-tech practice pad. Not only does it have a built-in metronome, but it can give you a ton of feedback to let you know how well you are doing.
