Alien concepts

Doing 2D concepts for a change! Also trying to get them into 3D as well. Will only take them into a 3D concept, as the idea is not to clean them up yet.

Keraplast Sculpting

Keraplast & tools

Today I went on a small walking journey outside middlesbrough, and I stumbled over a small art shop. Where I bought some Keraplast! As I have sculpted for quite some time digitally, I am really excited to try to sculpt with Keraplast as I have never done it before! Especially not after I have sculpted digitally.

Creating an old mans head - sculpt

Working towards realism where I'm trying to understand how the wrinkles and pores work together to really make it believable. I also want it to be proper retopologized, so that I can render it in Maya later as I am trying to learn Maya too in the process. 

I have sculpted the head non symmetrical and working now with topogun to retopo the sculpt. This takes some time as I have to do everything twice, but in reward, it makes the result much better as we humans are not symmetrical. I started on the pores and more fine details  but I wasn't happy about them, so I smoothed them out and will start the fine detailing after the new topology.
