One male bust
Just looking through my projects this year and I think I forgot to post this, the great aussie cassowary. One of the craziest animals running around the bush in Australia.
All the modelling, texturing and grooming were done with Zbrush, which was then rendered with Arnold and Shave and Haircut.
Happy new years ZBC! I want to share with you A turntable gallery of about 90% of my sculpts during 2014. Some are unfinished speedsculpts, others are more polished.
Thank you to all my friends and colleagues for the support, 2014 has been a great year. Wishing everyone an awesome 2015, may all your goals and dreams are fulfilled.
For the brainstorm group, topic was to redesign Darth Vader. Had a little fun in a few hours with Zbrush and Keyshot.

Ha, love it… very funny-:lol:
Also, very good, clean sculpt and render.
Nice study. Are you going to do the back as well?
Thank you very much. The back is done, but I wasn’t very happy with it, so I didnt post a photo 
Here is the video turntable. Cheers!
PS: I need to work on my muscle insertions and volumes, lots of random stuff going on lol
Nice work John,
I’m not in much of a position to critique such great work but for what its worth, where the hands connects with the bars there doesn’t seem to be much compression.
I would expect them to flatten out under the weight of the body and this would show some very visible spreading.
I’m new to zbrush so my feedback may not carry much weight but it’s just ab observation : )
Hi Kev, thanks for the critic.
I didn’t focus on the hands and fingers too much for this study, they should have a lot more compression I agree.
nice one, Cheers
This dude major works out! LOL Hey man seriously great job. I’m more of a hard surface guy myself, but I really do enjoy seeing work like this cause it helps in my understanding of the body which translates into hard surface form.
you do great work.
not a fan of the videos though. the constant floating is too distracting.
the back looks pretty good to me. It really tricky area. Do you use photo reference?
thanks Zeddie
@Vlad - Thanks, here are some of the refs I used. http://imgur.com/Z3Wq4na

Cool sculpture - the forms and anatomy are great here. But somehow I don’t feel like he would hold the whole body on his hands.
Instead it looks like he is holding something heavy in a standing pose.
In that position the body should be balanced somehow - maybe the pelvis should be moved backward a little?
The bent arms gives the feel of the movement - upward or downward but the straight thorax denise that.
On the front photo we can observe bent arms and rotated thorax forward (pelvis goes backward).
Hi John
I allowed myself to do a bit of paintover and show you what I would change if I had to. The sculpt looks quite good btw. I hope this helps.
@nebular thanks, I agree about the pelvis, that whole area needed a lot more attention. In the end I just got lazy and put some shorts on him
@Vlad - Thats a great paint over, thank you. I always tend to mess up the delt / traps / clavicle relationship, good tips!
