Sculpts from last night..

Hey everyone!

So here is a 2 hourish sculpt from last night. I recently got back form my honeymoon. No cell phone, no laptop, no zbrush. All I had was my wife, the ocean, a beautiful room, and my sketchbook. I have to tell you it was an amazing time. It was great getting to spend so much time with my wife. Being away form everything can really up things into perspective. It can make you appreciate things. I haven't touched zbrush in about 3 weeks. Yesterday was the first time I even opened up the program. I missed it, I appreciated it. I think sometimes we take for granted as character artists, designers, concept artists, environment/world artists, that we work on the cutting edge. We work with some of the newest and best technologies in the world. I mean hell. I make shit in 3 fucking D! This was me actually just having fun and re-experiencing the magic that is with us everyday.

So i plan on polishing this guy up. Get some polypaint on him. This dude was a by-product of everything I looked at this week. As well as some of the things I have been sketching. I have been wanting to improve my pencil skills, specifically so I can start diving into doing my own comic. I love the human figure. I love that superheroes tend to be exercises in anatomy. I have been reading/ drawing a lot of Venom and various spider-mans. I have also been playing the first #Darksiders here and there. That game is adult zelda. I am diggin it.  Anyway!!!!! I think you can see all the influences coming together. Plus I got to sculpt with my man bootz via skype so there was an added level of inspiration. Remember everyone. If you are just doing a speed sculpt, don't put aside all the art you have absorbed in the last few days prior to sitting down. Use it, call on it. Get comfortable with it. You obviously like it, so do something with it!
