Fortnight Project Introduction - Week 1

 Hello Hello! It's been a hot minute but I'm back with another "big" project. For this assignment, my instructor gave us the parameters that our character must be someone existing within the fortnight universe, and that we gotta match their distinct style! 

so...I've chosen the one and only, as well as one of my favorite X-men, ROGUE!!!

 


 

This page will go over my process around week one of work, starting on the weekend before because, to be honest, I'm too excited to wait until class starts. 

 

That brings me to the first stage of any project...compiling a reference board.  

I used PureRef to store my reference images in, and basically put what I thought I'd need for the initial blocking out stage, I'll add anything I might need later on in the process.  This part of the process took me around 30 minutes to complete.

 


 

Now...It's time to open up Zbrush and get to blocking, or what I like to dub, the "Monster Stage" 

Here's a super terrible picture.  In total this took about 2 and a half hours to make.

Fortnite Week 2 - HighPoly

Image
 This week I really locked in on this project. I started out with defining the body more and actually making it look like Rogue. I spent around 4 to 5 hours in total because I got so focused on defining muscle groups, trying to get the most accurate proportions I could and quite frankly, I really love this stage of sculpting.  Then, I crashed and burned when it came to making the head. This by it's self was a whole milestone, and I can see why, as it's what the audience pays most attention to, it's the "money maker". I made three different head's in total before I landed on one I actually liked enough to further expand on.  (Left is my first head and Right is my final head)  The most challenging part with this stage was definitely making the eyes and mouth. The eyes because shaping them correctly to the character's look, and mouth more so because the mouth-bag, which I hadn't done before. Turns out, sculpting lips to fit together after you've alrea...

Mavros Bust - Practice 05/31/2024

Image
     Hello hello readers! This bust was mainly just about practicing hair 'cause it's my worst enemy, using a character I've developed for a story I'm working on. Although, I did learn some awesome stuff about clothing and subdivision levels  (as a sole dynamesh user)! Now when it came to hair, I found this awesome brush that makes strands, and you can adjust them into whatever shape you want, which I used HEAVILY. Even though It made things a lot easier, the majority of my time was spent styling it and giving it a bit of texture to make it more hair-like.       I made a mistake early on which I only realized late stage, that I should have kept the parts that I wanted to be animated separate from the rest of the hair, instead it was all combined into one object. Whoops. I was going to go back and redo it, but I figured this is only a practice run, so I don't actually have to nit-pick everything, I just need to focus on making the product better, a...

Fishman model 04/10/2024

 Hello there readers! This is my first time blogging, and well, I'm a little nervous. I've been told to track my progress, failures and lessons learned, through blogging so here I am!  To start off, why out of everything did I decide sculpt a fishman? Well I woke up an hour earlier on Monday this week, and thought, "I haven't been on Zbrush for sometime, I miss it." So, of course, I hopped out of bed and started looking up references on Pinterest. That's when I stumbled across a drawing made by Desar Yuartha, and I thought it would be fun to make such a monster. And it was!  Within that hour, I had the base model sculpted out, then I had to head on over to class, which kinda sucked because I was fired up and ready to continue sculpting. On top of my homework, it took me three days to sculpt the entire thing, Monday to Wednesday, but I'd say in total less than 20 hours in total.  Any challenges I crossed? Plenty.  I kept on making mistakes with the keybindi...
