Hello!
Welcome back to my blog! This time I am starting to challenge myself even harder by working on probably my largest personal project ever (in terms of work involved). This personal project will start involve 2D and 3D processes, character designs, props designs, costume designs, and keyframe illustrations and concept art. This project is heavily inspired by Alex Figini's work.
I am taking my time into this one, and putting a lot of effort on the research, etc.My main goal in doing this project is to:
1. Further develop my 2D drawing and concepting skills
2. Create 2D concept art pieces that can stand on their own as 2D portfolio piece and be usable for 3D concepting afterwards
3. Improve my 2D to 3D workflow
4. Further improve my Zbrush, Marvelous Designer Skills - Learn more and be more comfortable with the programs
5. Learn how to properly and effectively use created 3D assets into keyframe/ environment concept art illustration
Tools I am planning to use for this project:
Photoshop, Zbrush, Fusion 360, Moi3D, 3DCoat, Octane Render, Keyshot, Cinema 4D
I kicked off things by doing these rough silhouette sketches for me to find the best one that fits what I am aiming for based on a simple brief I established. I decided to choose the bottom right guy with the horns as the one that I will further improve on concepting.
For now, I am starting on creating the general anatomy of the character that will be the main focus of my project. Then the face design.
Once I am satisfied and find what I am looking for, I will move into creating the costume design as well as adding more design elements to the character.
I selected this character design and will now move in creating the costume for this gangster boss.
Moving now to work on converting the initial 2D concepts into 3D using Zbrush then Marvelous Designer
