[ENDED] BC2-1803 – March 2018 Class Homepage – Creating Stylized Characters with Blender

[Kent Trammell]

Very cool concept. It’s more toward realism than anyone else’s choice so far, but so long as it’s at least a slight deviation from reality it’s all good 👌

[Jere Haapaharju]

I can totally see the similarity. Too bad you ran out of time and thinking of the hair before starting made me choose a bold person 🙂

[Kent Trammell]

Nice job on your caricature @richm! I can definitely see resemblance to your friend. The only note I’ll give is that the exaggeration appears more subtle than extreme. Maybe 20% exaggeration. I would have liked to see 50% or more exaggeration for the challenge of the exercise. But still, you’ve certainly accomplished the homework.

It’s a B+ in my book – good stuff!

Your character concept choice is a good one 👍

[Kenny Q]

Wow, you really nailed the caricature look of this characture. excellent job!

[Kenny Q]

Impressive work!

[Kent Trammell]

I nearly forgot about this caricature since it was posted so early – I’m going to count this as your Week 1 homework. And it’s quite good! The neck’s length is clearly an exaggeration, so in terms of caricature, I’d give it about 20-25% emphasis over the photo. But it’s a good sculpture with recognizable features! B+ in my book 👍

CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT #2 (Mar 12, 2018)

Week 1 is done! Thanks to everyone who submitted by Sunday. It’s been a lot of fun seeing your caricature work and concept art choices.

Week 2 begins the 3-week process of building a character based on the concepts we choose. Don’t forget to RSVP to the Live Event tomorrow – See you then!

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

QUESTION:

From Week 2 on we are going to work on our own character.

On my level (which can be seen below). Is it better to work with the own concept, even if it is very rough. Or is it better to search for a character from a “real” artist, which is more refined. I know I have to practice drawing, what I do, but what is better for this class?

Concept1: Drinking Women Concept2:Big man who likes do paint small things Concept3: Simple mining Worker

I love how you captured his expression and likeness! It is hard enough to do that with a pencil and paper. Great work.

[Matthew Ullrey]

I really like how you painted the skin tones. Rendered very nicely. My guess is swayed towards Ms Stewart too. 

[Matthew Ullrey]

Thanks for all of the positive feedback! The CG Cookie community is the best. 🍪

[Zsolt Cseh]

Kent @theluthier before of anything – thank you very much that you had a consequent positive and encouraging word for everyone on Week1. The grades were objective and fair, good to see again that the class system works.

Checking the statistics anyway it is amazing that again a big number of 26 homework submissions arrived with completing a really not easy task.

It is also interesting that in the March class 21 new members posted homework in comparison to the January one, while 5 members participated in both January & March classes. The short conclusion seems from that there is quite a big percent of people on CG Cookie who are quite advanced and especially interested in sculpting 🙂

That was a real fun so let’s continue it starting with the Live Event tomorrow 🙂

[Kent Trammell]

Honestly, I would recommend choosing someone else’s concept art. Not that your illustrations are poor by any means! But just that they’re maybe not quite as high quality as what you can find from more established concept artists online, ya know?

[malhomsi]

Another quick sculpture ! i love this assignment !

hopefully the likeness is here

[Zsolt Cseh]

My giraffe character has too big distance between of the front and back legs in Right view, could you please someone advice with which technique that box selected part could be pushed left?

I thought that maybe simply in Edit mode could move it left, that anyway sure would mess the topology, although with Dyntopo could fix it after
