Wagner's mudbook

[Wagner]

Hello,

I'm new to sculpting and mud, but so far so fun. Learning by speed sculpting :)
Some "go with the flow" speed sculpts, ideas came while sculpting.

One more, odd creature with stupid teeth :)

Mudbox starts to feel a bit more comfortable now , but lack of anatomy skills really shows in my work :D.. need to study a bit.

[gaganjain]

Nice work
Yeah anatomy skills come very useful...

Hmm.. again idea formed while sculpting. It's a wanna be Robocop ;)

Used more time sculpting the face this time. Hopefully a bit better anatomy wise.

[Wagner]

Haha, thanks for the laugh :)

I'll try to sculpt something new tonight after work. Something totally different I hope :)

[spybg]

me too :) I found 35 references of anatomy and i'll post all the pictures here tonight in a new topic Human Anatomy Reference :D I think that they will be useful for many of you and for you also :P I hope ::)

[Hulahuga]

HAHAHA, spot on Jawilutt.
What the? Spybg :)

Finally got some time with mudbox, tonight's odd flower creature. At least it's something totally different ;)

[ScudzAlmighty]

well that's just... i don't even know what that is but it's cool!
i like you're earlier stuff too, it's very different from the usual style of busts you'd see, though i'd be careful around the eye's and forehead. there's a consistant feeling that the head is being pulled back or stretched in that area of your sculpts.
keep it up!

[Hulahuga]

This last one looks good! You've used ambient occlusion, right?

[Wagner]

@ScudzAlmighty Thanks for the comment and yes, you're right, now that I watch my stuff the forehead issue is more than true :)

@Hulahuga, yep all the images are mudbox screencaps with tonemapping (glare) + AO. Some has added noise just for the looks :)

[Hulahuga]

Okay. :).
My graphics card can't use AO :(, at least according to MB.

[spybg]

First wip for the 2nd weekly challenge. ( Monster Dwarf )

Wanted to post these here because these are more concept work than finished ideas :)

Just a quick play with a freeze tool, very rough sculpt.

[Oscar]

That's because I did not have any certain intentions with it. Just random sculpting without any plans. I did start it just because I wanted to try to sculpt some hard surface stuff and especially practice freeze tool masking. There's no eyes and it's probably impossible to breath if there's a living person inside, so I guess it has to be a robot ;)

I like to sculpt without any goals, it's very relaxing. Results can be anything from good to bad, but usually somewhat interesting at least :)

[Hulahuga]

I like the front part, it has a good pattern :)

[Wagner]

Just a test message, seems that my sketchbook thread is invisible.

[Wagner]

OK, now it's visible again, I guess the silence killed it :)

[steelsky]

lol... i can see it mate.... :) maybe got gobbled up in the forum transfer???

[Wayne]

We did have a mysql database 'hickup' yesterday where it died o us for 30 seconds... it is possible that something got lost or changed during that.
