Week 2 Homework Submission

I had a lot of fun sculpting the guy and find it fascinating how the sculpting process could carry away. I actually hoped to finish the second concept also but the week was crazy intense. I still hope I could sculpt it for next the next week.

The character background would be semi-canon since the original story is not very rich. 

For those who didn’t play the game – Boogerman is a gross type of superhero who farts, burps and throws boogers to defeat his enemies, also flushes himself into toilets to travel between levels. Anyway the gameplay was great and graphics were very smooth for a time. So it is probably a comedy take on Mario (who eventually goes down sewer pipes). 

Snotty Ragsdale (that’s the guy’s real name) is a millionaire. He made his first million by winning a lottery and then invested most of his money into garbage collecting and recycle business. Boogerman is his company mascot and Snotty loves to dress like him on events. 

Prior to that he had some military training and was assigned to an air carrier maintenance team. That’s when he got hooked with canned food and also discovered having sensitive digestion system. Being exposed to winds and cold sea air he got himself chronic rhinitis, making his nose run all the time. That was the reason for his decommission. While in the hospital, he got his lucky lottery ticket with the newspaper. 

Snotty discovered Professor Stinkbaum was secretly building a machine that would save the world from pollution by transporting it to a place he called Dimension X-Crement. Disguised as a cleaner Snotty entered the lab to study the machine, but eventually broke it. The portal opened with someone stealing the main part of the machine. Snotty turns into Boogerman’s suit and rushes to the portal to return the stolen part (that paragraph is pretty canon 🙂 ).

Homework submission week 2

a fun and challenging week ! finally i love to work with a dead line .

my concept art is from Chris Walton , i found it on devianart, i was unable to ask him permession , i hope he dont mind !

it took me about 15 hours mouse sculpting , my diffuculties were tecnical issues , with a lagging Pc.

i’m not too happy with the result , i tried my best to stay true to the concept art , but my own style continue to pop out , i dont know if it is ok..

so here is One-legged Pete.

-I’m hungry..too hungry..
i’ve been roaming the streets for days..begging for something to sustains me..
all i got is their disgusted expresions..i hate them , i want to put my fingers deep in their eyes..
-One-legged Pete stinks..poor fools..you ignor the fetid odour of a roten leg..
Oh my leg ..it had been years since i lost it ..ican still feel it ..it still hurts..it burns..
-i’m hungry..
the night is falling ..this old hobo seem to hide something ..i’m pretty sure it’s food..
-i’m too hungry..
i have no choice, my knife is going to find a way to his throat..
tonight someone is going to eat..someone is going to die ..
-Oh dear …i’m so hungry.

Homework submission week 2

Wow guys it’s so fun to sculpt characters, i think i got a little carried away and picked a concept art that’s waaaaaay above my skills to replicate well in 3D, nevertheless i tried and this being my first full character sculpt, i am super happy with the result because i really had a hard time sculpting this speacially without symmetry.
The sculpture isn’t a 100% match of the concept art in terms of proportions, for example in the fingers if i had followed the artwork she would end up with huge dementor fingers. Also the places which i had more of a hard time sculpting were the shoes/feet (sorry Kent) and legs. Learnt a lot doing this!
Here’s the reference image: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3GXyo  .Kent you voted to do my character option B, i liked it but i am just a big fan of anime and was a more excited to do this one.

Here’s the story of my character (i tried to make it as anime-ish as i could imagine): 

Mia Lovelace, The little Witch or Pumpkin as the people of her village like to call her, she is a genius of a witch, despite her age she is capable of using magic as naturally as a veteran wizard. Although she’s really good at magic, none of her spells are close to being deadly. She can only cast summoning spells, and all of her summons either are scary pumpkins or the thing the her enemies are most scared of. Her mother says her magic is a reflection of her creepy personality and a way to counter her small size.
Despite her creepy looks, Mia is actually a nice person with good ambitions. Since she’s able to summon pumpkins, even though scary they are still pumpkins, therefore she feeds free pumpkins to those in need of her village until she’s out of mana, besides, the more reputation she has, the more likely she’ll get invited to the Grand Mage’s Race, a race where all invited mages go and the winner will be awarded a place in the group of it’s creators and so achieve her dream to be one of the greatest mages in history, or in this case, witch.

Now for the scultpure, i spent so many hours on the face and body that i pretty much had to do everything today all day.
This is what I did front thursday until yesterday:

And this is the progress today. It’s pretty much final, unfortunatly i don’t have time to refine it (the extract mask i did for the big scocks gave a lot of volume to the legs, for example I need to fix that):

[Henrique Celeste]

Woooooow that’s so good! You should be really happy with the result! Also maybe my character could give Pete some pumpkins 😉

[malhomsi]

really good for a 1 st character sculpture! and the legs and feet are great .

congrats for this one ! for next time u may increase the sampling , activate denoising , and add a glossy component to ur shader . 

[Henrique Celeste]

I just did a render with denoising and a glossy shader, the result is beyond comparison better! I did not know about the denoiser in the render layers, thanks a lot i learnt something new :p

[Bauke Post]

That is amazing!

[Omar Domenech]

That is incredibly good @malhomsi 

You guys know how to do characters really well.

Dear @malhomsi :

[Arthur de Lino]

Good evening (at least for me), I’ve been trying to get my character according to the concept art, I tried it in different approaches (posed, t-posed), but I couldn’t make it believable and/or according to the concept art.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and how to fix it. Could someone help me with this?

I’m leaving a link to a google drive .rar file if you want to play with it or with the images.

Thanks for your attention.

Do you mean Arnold Schwarzenegger? If so, I can see some elements of general likeness. But I’m curious to see your reference imagery. The hair in particular does seem Schwarzenegger’s type..Overall a pretty decent face sculpt even if the likeness isn’t 100%

Wow, your character sounds quite cool! Looking forward to seeing it become blendereality.

[Kent Trammell]

Love this design @silentheart00! I agree that the raven theme is very cool and present throughout – good stuff. I also really like her pose. This will work very well for the sculpt.

[Kent Trammell]

Hi katcap, welcome to the class! Based on my Googling, I believe this is Karel Roden. And you’ve done a pretty good job! Big thumbs-up on the forehead emphasis. That’s definitely a distinguishing feature imo. The hair looks good too. Aside from that, his expression and facial features are somewhat generically handsome. So it’s hard to caricaturize that…

The sculpt feels a little unfinished as well, with the blown out highlights hiding some areas. Despite that, I still can recognize Karel. It’s a B in my book  👍

HOMEWORK WEEK 2

Meet Rusley Cypert.  

Rustley grew up on a farm in the old west.  As a child he worked on his hunting becoming one on the most recognizable marksman.  He spent long years working in the family farm inheriting it upon the death of his Father.  Rusley, who married and had 2 children, spends his time raising the livestock and protecting everything he values this family and farm. 

When the sheriff was killed he stepped into the role to protect his family and land.  The town elected him to protect them as they know his character and that he will not step down from a fight.  He wears a family logoed eagle belt buckle to remember where he came from.

Ran out of time so posted my wip.  More work needs to be done to clean up the gun, and more detail added.  With the retypo phase coming up, I also didn’t want to include too much detail that could be lost.  Critiques are welcome.
