Insect Man

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi all,
this is my latest model I did for the “Manimal” tutorial series for the 3DCreative Magazine.
I was asked to create an hybrid insect-man creature starting from a given basemesh.
All the work was done using just Zbrush and a bit of Photoshop as post-work.
Hope you like it!

Cool sculpt!

A critique would be that the face area might be a little too busy, it is hard to read.

Cheers,

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, really happy you like it!
@abe_Tamazir: thanks, yeah solidsnakexxx did an awesome job on that model!
@ncollings:thanks man, looking forward to see your mummy finished :wink:
@slocik: well the tutorial is about using Zbrush for everything, from the modeling to texturing and rendering. I’m used to other 3d packages for anything but sculpting and for sure to other rendering engine… Zbrush is not the most flexible beast to deal with lighting and shading though I did my best to render out a good looking image and I think that you should think about it more like an illustration concept rather then a realistic piece. Besides that I plan to rework him a bit with Mental Ray for the portfolio when I have the time. Thanks.
@brettSinclair: thanks man, really love your works, keep it up :wink:
@Datto: eheheh thanks but who is “boogedy”? :rolleyes:

Thanks again to everyone!

It remember me a Doctor Who episode that I’have spotted when I was very Young (I think I was five) and that scared me to death!
In the episode a man was trasforming into a giant pseudo bug monster… the FX was pretty ingenuous (You can spot it here)… but in my recall it was like your model!
Freaking awesome!
