the mohawk gremlin

hi.
my name is zafer ustuner and this is my first post on these forums.

this was a gremlin that I sculpted for Scott Spencer’s intro to zbrush class in Gnomon. for reference I watched the movie Gremlins (it was fun) and I looked at various gremlin pictures to come up with this model.

basemesh done in maya, taken to zbrush and then back into maya again.
rendered in mental ray with displacement.
any comments are welcomed.

Looking great dude, from what i can see. The lighting is washing out the details a bit, id suggest taking a screenshot from inside zbrush with some cool matcap to capture the details. :+1: I hope you plan on texturing it :smiley:

I dont think it is just the lighting, because it is a very soft light rig. I think it is the displacement that is washing out everything. i didnt tweak it to its bitter end.

but we still have good old printscreen .
and here you go:[

Wow, I love the details and wrinkles on the model…ironically, I woke up to this movie…

Really nice sculpt. cant see anything wrong. might want to pose it for a better presentation. Definitely gonna keep my eye out for this one.

Nice job!
I especially like the body…
(the shapes of the bumps on the head seem to have been altered because of a too low resolution tho… probably retopo the face would have helped…)
but on the first pictures, it looks really good :+1:

xavier henry - thanks. yes the body came out better than the head. you are right.

danconia - thanks. there will be a final composition with this guy. textured and lighted. I am going to pose him for that.

haloanimator - thanks. the gremlin theme is awesome isnt it? :smiley: . I hope they make a new one with bunch of cg gremlins. I’d go watch it.

Perfect work, quite inspiring.

What a great model. Feel like pushing it inside a microwave hoven and turning it on…the best scene in that movie in my opinion. Congrats, you produced a classic piece.

Just noticed one thing, no butt crackage? :lol:
