Good day/evening,
my name is Jens, I'm 17 (update: I'm 18 now) years old guy from Norway trying to develop my 3D art skills. I've done some guns and other props for Source-mods although recently I've been trying to get a hang of digital sculpting (update: I've put 3D aside for now. Just focusing on painting and drawing at the moment).

Here's a dump of my most recent stuff:






I'm currently taking Media and Communication classes in High School and exams are right around the corner but hopefully I will get a lot of time to develop during Summer vacation.

Constructive criticism is more than welcome

Hmm, they are. I guess Dropbox can be rather unreliable at times.
Anyways, I've reuploaded them to imgur now.

Here's a head study I sculpted from squircle.

SeanEG: Thanks a lot
Eoq: Thank you! Ye, I'll definitely take a closer look at the underlying muscle and bone.

Here's a wip-shot of a Harrison Ford sculpt I started working on today. I'm finding it hard to achieve any likeness, and establishing form without either a) over-pronouncing or b) making it boneless goo.

Well, at least it's an improvement over my Desmond Harrington sculpt, which turned out to look like Kevin Bacon and Mickey Rourke's lovechild, heh.

I have come to the realization that my 2D foundation is way too weak, so I'm stepping out of the third dimension for a while.


Here's a rough value study.

I did a study on the skull and its muscles.
It really cleared up a bunch of things although I still don't understand cheeks very much so any help on that subject is very appreciated.

Well done on the new painting, like the others have said just keep painting and you'll grow as an artist. I also like your positive thinking, it will take you places you've never imagined. Keep it up...

Many thanks, sketch!


Haven't been doing much lately, I'm afraid. Having a general lack of motivation and the recent Skyrim footage got me back into Oblivion- Curse you, self-control.
Anyways, here are some studies of the body.

I wish I could sculpt faster so I don't get sick of whatever I'm working on halfway through.

I was going for a stylized macho Batman but I see now that it looks more like the Hulk dressing up as Batman for Halloween. Oh well.
I still learnt a lot though that's what counts I guess.

Your getting better dude, I really like the Rango painting. The main thing is your constantly doing art and in time you will see even greater results.
Keep it up and stay creative!

Many thanks. I will.

here's a torso, a head (based on the first one from this.) and a thorough study on the arm I'm slowly making progress on.

Here's a bunch of anatomy studies
of arms








and a bust of bald bloke I did to improve my anatomical knowledge and sculpting technique




Also, here's a series of Saul Bass- and Olly Moss-inspired posters I did a few weeks ago as an school assignment.




I later designed a tee off the Breaking Bad poster and submitted it to Teefury and it got selected and will be up for sale in the near future
