Cornrows Full Body Stage 2


Not much more work on the clothes just yet. I wanted to bring in some hands and feet first and take them up to a basic level of work. I also had to adjust things to fit the head properly.

Cornrows Full Body Stage 1

I decided I needed to do some contemporary clothing practice. I wanted to do something baggy and as it happens the cornrows guy reference I used for head 4 was wearing some baggy clothes. So I've decided to make a full length version of him.

Here's stage 1. Level 3 subdivision. Just enough to define the basic folds. No seams or details yet.

Head 4 Stage 3

Minor change. Changed the overall shape of the top of his head and moved the hair line forward a bit.

Flat Top

I fancied doing some monsters. Inspired by Guillermo del Toro's awesome nightmarish creature designs and the solider demons in Constantine.
Sketched from the Mudbox base head, retopologised in Silo, further detailed and then painted back in Mudbox. It's the first time I've used Mud 2011's new painting tools beyond playing around. They're certainly improved. I still want selections and masking though.

Head 4 Stage 2

Finally got the time to finish this guy off. The cornrows took quite a bit of effort but I'm quite pleased with how they turned out in the end.

Head 4 Stage 1

I started sculpting this guy a few weeks ago, but went on holiday before I got it to a stage I was happy with so didn't want to post it before I went away.

It's still at a pretty low level of subdivision, so there's not much detail yet.
