Troll (posed and painted)

dankatcher · July 4, 2019, 8:18pm

HI All,
Just thought I would post picks of a Troll concept sculpt I’m doing for my reel. It was created using Zbrush and Maya. The color is simply painted on in zbrush.I still have to learn how to render my models in mental ray so the shadows and perspective are off, but here are some Zbrush caps. As always crits and comments are welcome.
P.S.
I need a job! I was a traditional sculptor for years and I am tring to break into the digital realm. If you or anyone you know needs a zbrush and maya modeler please let me know at [email protected]

Thanks and best to all,
Dan

Wow very cool, bottom jaw seems rubbery like those plastic dinosaur toys but overall awesome

All your new stuff is looking really really strong man. I love this concept and the idea of him charging across this bridge. I can just imagine 3 goats having a heart attack just on the other side. Looking forward to seeing more, keep rocking.

this is really awesome. i went to your site and found the untextured one and it looks alot better as well. in my humble opinion id work on the texture or just get rid of it and take screen grabs like you did here http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AwxguzVHKE8/SiWtHXV-F3I/AAAAAAAAAA4/QmD2XF4OQiY/s1600-h/orcquater.gif because this is pretty close to perfect. it could also be the black background thats killing it here.
one minor crit, while all of the modeling is bad ass there is so much fine detail in areas like the face that it becomes a bit too noisy. also the armor looks really nice but id like to see it slightly more damaged to match his crazy look (maybe put an arrows in hit or him and some chunks missing fromt he armor). this is top row work though. also saw your hulk sculpt on your page, that is amaaaaaaaaazing!

That troll looks hungry! Give him some troll house cookies.
Nice modeling job. I also like the untextured version. Your other sculpts are fantastic - especially your Hulk!

HI Again. I have taken a few screens of the troll without the textures. I used The Hulk Matcap and applied a gray fog to the render. also I am posting this cat person I started a while ago . My friend Dave told me to put him in a pose and give him a spear. so I did. I still have allot of detail to do but I thought I would share some WIP shots . I look forward to crits and comments,
Best,
Dan

Awesome! They’re both really nice sculpts, but I think I like the cat person the most. You can really see a character coming through in his face.

I worked more on the cat man. I think he was looking a little too bulky so I reworked him quite a bit. I also reworked some of the waist armor lemme know what you all think. Thanks Stan for keeping me going on the piece.
