Keiths Polybook

[Keith]

Wow, there’s some stunning results when I google these two names – Thanks Michael!

@beefkeef

I have to add that these guys are pretty good artists. They came from classes when an artist would model a bone in clay a dozen times, then draw it hundreds times from different angles, then practice on models for another several years. And only then he would dare to give a very humble advice on how to draw)

They are real deal and yes, very great teachers.

So here’s my Polybook! It’s been a while……..😅

Gonna try and get back into the swing of things with something relatively simple I hope, so I’ve opted for this Zombie character I liked on Pinterest. 

Not too much to show just yet but it’s something! Remembering my key binds is a bit of a mission but it’s coming back to me.

[Martin Bergwerf]

I’m excited to see you working on this…I’m sure this is going to be epic again, Keith!

[Keith]

Hey Spikey, thanks so much for the encouragement!  Not sure about epic though, I’m still feeling quite rusty!!!!! 😅

Just a little more progress tonight, I’ve added a bit more detail to the body and also thought it would be a good time to cut some holes in his side. I think the artwork hints at ribs showing there, so I’ve blocked them in too. Pretty disgusting when you think about it !

Going to give him that hair next or whatever it is, and the legs look a bit wonky so I’ll try and improve those too. 

[Keith]

Say CHEESE! 

A bit more progress on this guy today, I spent a bit of time on his teeth and gave him a tongue – all zombies need a tongue. 

I also gave those ribs a bit of detail, and added a stomach I guess 😅

I think I’m nearly there with the sculpting – I think that there’s a couple of drool drips in his mouth and also the gas coming out -I’ll take a look at that next!

[Martin Bergwerf]

Those teeth look great!

[Shawn Blanch]

They look awfully great.

Love to see your magic sculpting at work Keith. Looking abominable in the best way.

[Michael Mirn]

Can’t find my Polybook for some reason but it’s nice to get a new feedback from yours, Keith.
A good start and definitely a stylish pick) keep it going!

@michaelmirn ,

There appear to be some problems with the search functionality in the forum (I’ll report it  to the devs), but here you go:

(I was wondering why we didn’t get updates from you 🤨)

[Michael Mirn]

@spikeyxxx Thanks! Thats you, Spikey, right?
How come I was not able to find it? Though it is forever gone now.

I’ll put some updates in there, I promise)

[Keith]

Here’s a little progress on this fella.

I sculpted the gas coming from his mouth just using the snake hook tool to get the shape. I also tried to give it an “S” curve from the front angle so it doesn’t just look like a flat 2D shape.

Also used some of those amazing meat balls to make the drool! 🙂

I’ve also done another sculpting pass on the teeth, gums and body and decided that I’m not going to use Substance for my materials/textures – but rather stay in Blender this time. So I’ve started giving him some colour now and playing around with the shaders!

[Martin Bergwerf]

Gorgeous!

(Can I actuallly say that?)

[Adrian Bellworthy]

It is gorgeous!
Looks like he has eaten lots of cranberries…
I like cranberries!

Excellent work @beefkeef

[Shawn Blanch]

It’s creepy, and spooky, mysterious, and cooky.
