Creature Bust WIP

This is an early sculpt based on a silhouette I created in the previous post.  I was mainly going for an interesting silhouette.  More detail will come much later.  Right now I need to focus on nailing down a background for this guy.  I imagine him serving as a hulking guardian of some abscure artifact on a distant planet.  I think he reminds me of a mix between a gorilla, a horse and an eagle.

I started with a base human head mesh in homes that I could continue with decent topology but as it turned out it looks terrible.  I'd like to learn TopoGun very soon to correct some of these issues.

Character Bust Silhouettes Evolved

I took one of the busts from my previous post and developed it a little more.  I didn't like the shape initially but after this set of bust sheets I'm liking him a lot better.  My character busts give off an elephant/ rhino sort of feel.  I imagine him being very brutish and strong, but passive if left alone.  I created a few with shaved off horns and I started drifting off into space wondering why he might have had them removed.  I can see a story might be in development with this creature.

Character Bust Silhouettes

Just some quick silhouettes.  I wanted a wide variety of characters because I'm not sure which direction I'm going to head in for this project.  Here are a few ideas.  Some have some potential to be developed further and some are complete crap.

Head Modeling Base Mesh

I'm still having a few issues, mainly with the ears.  I've watched some tutorials and I can't quite nail them down, but I'm getting a lot better understanding of proper edge flow on heads.

WIP Head Modeling

This is the start of my base mesh head which I will most likely end up kit-bashing for future projects.  Topology is crucial here so I'm being very maticulous about this.

Daily Sketch #2

Having fun with Zbrush.  I started out with a sphere and went from there.  I could do this every day.  Really fun stuff!
