Alien concept (just for fun)

ZBrush Artworks
#1

I have been using Zbrush more and more in my free time to make concepts instead of production models (like I do at work). I started from a zbrush cube then when the model was done I did a couple of renders in zbrush with different matcaps and ten I tweaked them and color corrected in photoshop, (I didn’t even textured the model). This kind of concept pipeline allows me to get something in a few hours to an almost final quality). I just had fun doing this image I hope you guys likes it! :slight_smile: So it’s basicaly 80% zbrush an 20% photoshop.

The yellow matcap is from NickZ . it’s called Yellow plastic

Awesome concept! Love the detail:+1: :+1:

So Matcaps can create HDRI like lighting effects? LOve the sculpt btw. I wish I was at the point where I could knock out a finished piece in a couple of hours. I’d have more time to waste on other things!

Great job man:+1: Looks like a top row to me…

it reminds me a bit one of your previous model, but still be very different…

is the render a mix a zbursh shaders only or you also mixed max renders?

Looks great but it has a Voldermort (film version) feel to it. So, I’ve tried painting with multiple materials on a single object in the past and sometimes I get this weird white border between mats…did you go over that in Photoshop or did that even happen to you? If so, how did you resolve it? Anyway, love your work (are we likely to see this on your eviant page too?).

Thanks Nicolas!

Sebcesoir Thanks a lot buddy it’s great coming from you! I’m looking forward to spend some time with you in L.A. at sigraph! it is only rendered in Zbrush this time! you are right! he does look like my other alien because it’s a variation on the same theme in fact!

Teyon- I have been getting a lot of that comment on deviantart! I guess it’s because of the flat nose! :slight_smile:

Thanks so much magdalena! :slight_smile:

razataj thanks so much but I don’t think I will do the whole thing!

That is great! You really ispired me on that one. What material are you using for the reflections? And the coloring of the skin, did you just do that in a separate photoshop layer? Or is it painted in zbrush?

Thanks for sharing!
