back to protossin.
Yet another chunky.
Next step in process
Some new stuff
This is the first 10 minutes or so of the 2 hours of my last web class test run. Just a basic run down of where my process goes. I edited out some technical difficulties so there are a few small gaps, but yeah. Here you go.

Online course dry run!
Tonight! 5 pm PST. Be there or…be…not there. Right? Gonna do basically my intro to zbrush and treat it less like a Q&A more like the initial class and see how the functionality for gotomeeting works for it in that context. This is not going to be an intensive breakdown of my workflow, more of a basic rundown of the little fiddly bits of getting into zbrush. I’d totally...

Another bit of work on this bad larry.
Online coursery.
Oh hey guys! I realize I am not posting videos as frequently as I used to. It turns out its a lot of time investment. However! Last weekend we did a test run of what an online course might be like. It’s happening. I’ll be teaching Zbrush through futurepoly online as well as the normal in classroom bits I’ve already been doing. If anyone is interested in that prospect, get at me....

It’s my intention to follow through on this one. Gonna try and record/complete an entire model. This means there will be a substantial length increase on the videos…I’ll likely have to mark the interesting ones.
Another lunchtime nonsense. I think I’ll be posting the critter I’m building during the FuturePoly class I’m teaching. We will see how that goes. I knicked this concept from www.sketchwich.com which is a blog a lot of the ArenaNet artists post on. Dougggggg williams created it—also at lunch! ya!

Quick sculpt I forgot to post here. Created for my class on saturday.
So I came back to brontoman after some time away. Pillaged his back legs for a base sculpt on the front. Will rehas most of the wrinkles, but its nice to look a little more developed for a hot minute.
In other news, FuturePoly has started all of our first classes. Mine is smaller than the rest, but it turns out it’s likely for the better. Very excited about it nonetheless! Aieeee....

Back at it, sort of. Been a busy boy. goodwork. stupidgirls. newproject. toomuchdancing. Some good, some bad. New project, though! I’m going to be teaching at FuturePoly—a school started by some coworkers at ArenaNet. It’s pretty exciting! We’re also doing a pretty dope ass digital arts seminar next week which quite quickly sold out. Check out the site, though!...

Sorta drunk when I recorded the audio. From now on, though, audio and video are recorded together. If i;m going to ramble, I want the time to do it. Know what I’m saying?
HEY GUYS! I RERENDERED THE VIDEO. THE AUDIO IS 6X LOUDER. ITS BETTER I THINK. K! BYE!
This was supposed to be a lengthy set of recordings, but i boned up the first one. As it turns out, having a full HDD doesnt allow for any caching of the video file as you are recording. So heres… part 2. Part 1 is gone. =(
Did this yesterday when I was experimenting with ZB 3.5. Kind of a mess, kind of fun.
eeieieieieie
Ano’za one. Short. less than 30 minutes. Wah wah.
Painting this bish! WEeeieeieieieieieieiei!
UVs and reprojectinggggggggg!

Another bit of this dude. Not necesarilly the most entertaining. It’s just retoplogy. However I felt it was good to post in keeping it all recorded, right? RIGHT?
Dry run using photoshop topogun and trying to remember how that max viewport shader worked. Really not final stuff at all.
Continuing that Carlos Huante minotaurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrro.
Lunchtime! I realize I’m lazy and it has been two months. It turns out I’m not disinterested in doing this stuff, I just got busy. (read as: I’ve been going to work late and so I’d rather not work until 9).
Concept by Carlos Huante, nonsense by me.

Gremlin. Lunch.
I took a couple days off this business. Had to work over lunch on weds and yesterday I took a break from work. Trying to shake this funk and it’s not working.
Anyway. Here’s a gremlin. A lot of people mentioned a few monsters ive done so far look like them. =O
First bit of sculpting on the fish dude.
Luuuunchhhhh!
From sphere.
With hot jam.
Did some work on the fish model after work. Still concepted by sean murray, still smells of fish.
Another lunch-time sculpt.
The beginning of a series of videos I plan to do over time(starting and finishing a game res character). This is just the blocking in of my base models for sculpting. Concept was done by Sean Murray.
Another speed sculpt! JURY IS STILL OUT ON ZSPHERES.
Also: FIDDLEFADDLE.
Another speed sculpt. Went a little too far on the gobbledigook detailing. Oh well!
Video tutorial on creating a cleaner geometry to sculpt on without losing any of your work.

Grot! Brian mentioned them today and sent me a link to a photo, so i decided this is my doodle for the day. Here it is.
Another lunch doodle! Dinowhatwhat?
Lunchtime doodle of some kind nasty-bad bird-dino-garbage.
Lunchtime doodle.
Test of video timelapsed from real-time in zbrush as opposed to a zscript playback. Also testing audio encodoing. =OOO
A chunk of my massing for stoopig. It turns out zscript recording is not without its flaws. Sadflavor.
Anyway, if i can sort out saving the last bit of this Bad Larry, I will. Otherwise I’m going straight to new topology.
