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

Exploratory Speed Sculpt

Lieutenant Granitor | Speed Sculpt | Concept

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.

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.

Oro Speed Sculpt

Creature Speed Sculpt

Humanoid Speed Sculpt

Took a bit of a break from doing speed sculpts/time-lapses to start fully developing characters. But, I'm back in the habit. Learning new things everyday, and getting a bit faster in the process.

TMNT | work in progress...

Experimenting with different shapes for the plastron, and with the carapace design.

Personal take on Lady Death WIP

Originally started as a generic Lady Death. But decided to get creative and make it a "what if" Lady Death. Might go back to the original plan for the sake of saving time, but we'll see ;). Very much a conceptual WIP.
