Ocean Crown

Our first assignment in the Zbrush class was to make a simple object so we'd get used to the software. I made a seashell crown which might be slightly familiar if you've been through my portfolio. It changed just a bit, but I like this new color scheme more. For my final project in this class, I'll be modeling the character who wears it. Anyway here is the crown:

I modeled the base mesh in Maya, sculpted in Zbrush, and textured with Photoshop.

Alien Thing

So as I had mentioned earlier, I'm taking a class that emphasizes Zbrush this quarter. Since it is my first time using this program I thought I'd look up a tutorial and just follow it step by step. This way, I can familiarize myself with it, and try to find an efficient workflow. In this case I used the Starting guide in the Documentation folder. It was a pretty nice and simple to follow tutorial.
Anyway, this is my end result:

It's interesting I suppose. Well at least I can only go up from here, and I have a better understanding of the interface. More (and better) work to come soon!

Color Scheme

I haven't posted much in a while, because this quarter has been pretty hectic for the first two weeks. It doesn't seem like that will stop anytime soon, but hey, at least I stay busy.
Anyway, in the meantime I thought I would post an older piece to prove I'm still alive. This one was another quick painting I did for practice. I used a photo I took of a sunset for reference, and a randomly provided color scheme from the internet.

This is the scheme I used. Tetradic Color Scheme. The site is pretty cool too, check it out if you are having problems coming up with one, or are looking for a color challenge.
