Halloween Art Jam

I set up a monthly art jam at work where people can try their hand at new tools and techniques.  Octobers, rather predictably, was Halloween.  Here's my Z Brush sculpt.  It was about an hour for the sculpt and another 30 mins paint over and presentation

Creature Concept

I'd like to break this down and tell you what exactly its a concept of but in all honesty it was just a bit of fun in Z Brush then spruced up a bit in Photoshop

This was my first attempt at painting IN Z brush. My next step for Z brush is to get me some better materials or a better renderer.

Concept - Organic Armour

More experimenting with getting z brush into my work flow. The design could be alot better and cleaner but its still early days.

The DEEEEPP!!!

 I wanted to have a go at some creature design using the multitude of techniques I have at my disposal.  The first image is a quick image board of reference and inspiration.  Then there is some quick thumbnail generation which explore design and and shape.  I then roughly modelled it in 3D max and exported it to Z Brush (the model of which I'll post a little later) to flesh out the design and continue to make further design decisions.  Lastly I use that Z brush model as a base to a digital painting.  I'm sure I'll keep tweaking it and eventually ruin it but here it is as it stands.

LG - Awakening of the Titans

This is a first attempt at marrying Z-brush and 2D painting.

First Zee-Brush concept

Okay, so this is kinda crappy but I'm just getting into 'Zee-brush'.  Im trying out 3d concepting, this time a design of a elemental titan.  I'm compositing it into a pic I'm working on so it's really a base to work from at this stage.
