So I haven't traditionally been so great with likenesses. I've started to focus on that, in an effort to improve. This is one such sketch. Angelina Jolie bust; done in about 2 hours, since, like I said, I suck at likenesses at the moment. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
Likeness Excercise
A work in progress of the newest character I'm working on. I'm starting poly painting today, and I'll post again when that's done. The hands still need some work, but I'll come back to them a bit later. I think all told I've spent about 15ish hours on this so far.
Barbarian WIP
...It was a monster sketch!
A challenge on the
ZBrushed forums - "Cute Monster". This was my entry. I spent around 3 hours on it. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, given the amount of time I had to work on it before the challenges deadline (it was a weekend challenge, but I only had a few hours Sunday to work on it).
As an aside, I'm working on my next big project, and it's almost done. I'll post soon, when the sculpt is finished. Stay tuned!
It Was A Sketch...

Me and a
friend of mine were discussing the desire to be part of a 3D community the other day, and we got to talking about our attempts to join large sites with a huge member base, and kinda getting lost in the shuffle. Well, one thing led to another,and we ended up coming to the conclusion that, eff it, we're gonna start our own.
zbrushed.com - bookmark this link boyos. We are a small community, dedicated to showing our work, giving honest feedback, and growing as artists. We are looking for people that want to share their work, improve themselves, and most importantly, be a part of a small community of artists that want to do the same. If you are like us and are tired of getting little, if any, feedback on the larger sites,
come and see us. You'll be glad you did.

So my friend
Dave Dind was showing some work at the Toronto ComicCon this weekend and ended up snagging like a ton of magic card packs. He gave me 3 of them, cause I was looking to learn how to play. As I was checking through the cards I got, I saw this "
Diabolic Tutor" card, whose art was pretty badass, and so I did the bust over lunch. Total time was probably about 40 minutes.
Diabolic Tutor
Bust done over the course of a few hours today. The initial design was based off an image I found on the internets, but I can't seem to find it now... Oh well. I kinda think he turned out as some kind of amalgam of
Wrex and
Boss Nass. Anyways, ZBrush character sheet after the jump...
Alien Bust
Done today over my lunch hour. I've been working on sculpting more female characters; for a while they were all pretty dudesome.. I think I'm finally catching on though.
Quick Sketch
Another lunchtime project. Started as just a quick head sketch, but I decided to texture it. Made in ZBrush, textured with ZAppLink and just good old fasioned Photohopping too. Rendered with Mental Ray in 3dsMax. It took altogether maybe 3 hours.

African American Male Bust
My newest project. An anatomy study based off the classic Greek sculpture "
Farnese Hercules". Fans of the show "Arrested Development" will also take note that Herc here has a bit of a medical condition: He's a nevernude. I know, weird right?
This was made over my lunch breaks for about 2 weeks or so (Christmas break messed up my count). Special thanks go to
Goran Zovkic for the inspiration on the cutoffs.

Well hello there, world weary traveler. How'd you get yourself lost in this 'ere part of the internets? What's that? Oh, I'm Dave Boyle, pleasure to meet you. A 3D artist by trade, though you might have already figured that out from having taken a look around. This be my site, "Dave's Digital Doodels", or"3D" for short. Get it? No? *Sigh* well it's a clever pun, but don't worry about that, take a look around tell me what you think. I'm always modeling something, so check back often. Hope to see you back soon!
