Three ladies, one month.
Two of my friends and I need to get back in the swing of things.
So we're challenging ourselves to complete a whole project in January.
So here we are. January is here and it's time to dive right in, right?
Wish us luck and determination!

is it a collaboration or individual projects?
Sonia and Ann will have their concepts and such up midnight on the second at the latest.
But I plan on doing something along these lines-
It'll be just a sculpt.
But it'll be my first time using z-brush fibers, which I'm so pumped for.
And my first time doing a no symmetry sculpt.
And my first multi-person sculpt.
=] I'm pumped.
i should do a no symmetry sculpt too!
anyhoo,good luck!
The main ref I'm using is the one in the top right corner. Since I'm using my own dog as my main inspiration, I'll be using his coat coloring and his fluffy tail in the sculpt.
I can't waaaaiiit.
Are you sculpting the fur or going with fibers?
I'll probably experiment with creating a fur brush or something. I haven't upgraded to the newer zbrushes yet, so can't experiment with the brushes and stuff they have for that already until I do, lol. Johanna wants to do a fur system at some point too, so I'll probably wait to do a majority of fur work.
She acquired actual paying freelance work, so I can't blame her.
So now that ann and I have our concepts together. We'll have our first wip up very soon!
I hope every that's subbed here will be very happy with the final results and help with critiques along the way!
=DD
I know I still have a long ways to go. The feet and ears are giving me a bit of problems right now. Feet especially since I wanted them digitigrade. No matter of tweaking they just don't seem right to me. =/
But things are pushing forward. I started by doing to very base models, now I'm posing them and I know it looks super silly, but hey. I gotta put something up. =]
I'd say try and push the knees forward a little, more like a dogs. I know its supposed to have human-ish legs, but I think it would help make your feet look less like weird high-heel feet.
Also. Bless your heart on those paws. I tried to so some once, member? Dear lord they're hard. And then they start looking like really skinny hands and then you just get super creeped out and can't look at your reference anymore.
I hope you have a better time with them than I did. XD
He also needs a bigger bulge.
Other than that looks great so far.
Sorry I haven't got much done since last time, been sick all week. Anyway I think things are starting to shape up nicely. I'm liking the legs much better this way. Thanks Julia. So arms, head and torso fixes are in the future. Hopefully clothes soon too lol.
I'm pretty excited. =]
bleh
Well. I'm so completely disappointed in my progress that I'm setting this project down for a while, picking up a different one.
But I think Ann is still pushing along. =] So that's good.
It's just so hard to work after working a full day. We're so young and fresh out of college, I think we went overboard with the time limit. XD
Anyway. Ann will eventually update after she gets a good weekend of work done or something. =] I hope we didn't disappoint you guys too much so far.
Besides that keep it up!
Hey everyone! Sorry it's been awhile and that the sculpt is still kinda behind on looks, but I hope to get a lot done this week since my seasonal job is over. For the moment I'm gonna leave the body be and move onto the clothing, but I will return and get all the other goodies (like fur lol) in there. I also wanna do a mouth bag for this char, but I have a feeling that's gonna be a big pain once I get there. Meh we'll see.
The only things that really stick out to me are-
You should try to maybe tilt his ears a little more straight up and down from the front. Does that make sense? Most dogs with stiff ears like that, you can see they do have a tilt on them but seem more straight up and on top of their heads. Unless you were really middle grounding the ears.
Second. I'd make the top of his head just a smidge wider, not including the ears. I might be wrong, but I think it feel a little more canine?
And lastly.
Don't be afraid to really cut those muscles in and make him pretty muscular. You're going to be covering him in fur and clothes. So a lot of your shapes might get lost, and you did so well on them I'd hate for him to look very blobby.
Speaking of which. You're doing the clothes before the fur? won't you be missing the volume of the fur under the clothes?
I didn't go too crazy with the muscles specifically because they were gonna be covered up. But I suppose depending on how the fur looks I may have to cut it in deeper which is not really a problem. And since I sort of took a bit of a break from the sculpt, I'll probably just leave the clothes as the bases I have for now and get back to guy's body.
Thanks for your help!
