LUNCHCRUNCH | MONSTER MONTH Pt. 4 (inspired by Cesar Dacol Jr.) June 7th, 2012

Oni! I can't even express in words how much I'm learning by doing these... I finally got to the legs on this one, but the feet need some love, and the hand with the club needs some more grip action.

LUNCHCRUNCH | MONSTER MONTH Pt.2 (inspired by Cesar Dacol Jr.)

Ningyo WIP These are so much fun! Discovering new techniques along the way. No symmetry, pure organic fun ;). Finishing a complete sculpt in an hour or two is a serious task. This is as far as 1 1/2 to 2 hrs is getting me right now. However, I'll be revisiting these without a doubt.

LUNCHCRUNCH | MONSTER MONTH Pt.1 (inspired by Cesar Dacol Jr.)

So, I've been following Cesar Dacol Jr's endeavor called "Monster Month", and he's inspired me to attempt to complete one monster a day for the whole month. Difference is, his stuff is 100X more amazing, and in clay. I'll be doing it in ZBrush since I don't have clay and tools readily available, I'll also be playing catch up since its already June 4th. This was a bit new for me since I usually work with symmetry in a generic pose. I have to admit, I loved it. I felt free, and it really brought a new organic quality to the sculpt. I encourage you to check out Cesar Dacol Jr's "Monster Month" on his YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIBjInCfRO6pttl0YDVTlAw?feature=wat

General Traag | Speed Sculpt | Concept

General Traag and Lieutenant Granitor are some of my favorite characters from the early 90's TMNT cartoon series. I drew up a quick concept for both, and took it further in ZBrush.

Usagi Yojimbo

I'm in a TMNT state of mind this month... This started off as a speed sculpt, but I'll usually take it further if I like the direction I'm going in. Went through several iterations of this guy, but finally got something I liked.
This is the intial idea, and speed sculpt. If you wish to see the speed sculpt lapse just visit my youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/JMC3D?feature=mhee

TMNT Revamp

Had to take my TMNT back to the drawing board... Wasn't happy with the overall design, so I felt I needed to change the design direction.
