Digital Painting Practice

I needed a break from modeling, so I decided to practice a little digital painting. These concepts are not my own but instead from the very talented L D Austin. Each one took roughly 1 1/2 hrs.

Test Render WIP

This is a test render I wanted to post. I plan on rendering with maps and maybe a background.

Zsketch, 4 hr exercise for wrinkles

Well it seems almost all artist but me have an alien in their portfolio, so I decided to sculpt one this weekend. As mentioned it took 4 hrs to do. Just looking to practice some wrinkles. I will attempt to polypaint him and give him a decent render. Thanks for watching!

Final WIP

This is the final test before I start to wrap things up. I still have lots to do! Rendered in Marmoset.

ZBrush Central Competition for Dragon Ball Z

I feel I have gotten to a level in my skills where I feel comfortable posting in public sites. Therefore I have decided to start out with a competitions. This would give me more exposure and a slight possibility of maybe placing which would help greatly with exposure, something a staring artist needs!

My version of Super Majin Buu. Much older, more experienced, and far more serious than ever. Hope you like and feel free to comment.


Final Render and Composite! Done in ZBrush and Photoshop. Huge learning experience! Before this I knew nothing about rendering or compositing. But with the help or a few great online tutorials I managed to achieve a pretty good render for a first timer. Hope you like!
