Fortnite Week 2 - HighPoly

 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 already made the bag isn't the greatest of ideas. 

I'm in debt to Follygon for his tutorials on sculpting ears and eyes because they truly made the process a LOT easier then trying to figure it out from the reference alone.  (Follygon's Channel)

This milestone really did take me the whole week to make, including class hours, so I'd say around 8 hours in total. 

- A quick sidenote, I had to update my pureref sheet to include other fornite character face shapes/features to get a better idea of what Rogue needed since I couldn't find a lot of detailed reference photos of her.

Mavros Bust - Practice 05/31/2024

     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...
