Amidala Initial Textures

So here's my inital texture for Amidala done in Zbrush, same software for render. Needs more work and couldnt wait to bake all the maps and export to Maya.

Amidala

So many models Im working on all at the same time but curiosity has led me to do this latest piece. Ive been wanting to do Amidala inspired by the movie Star Wars for as long as I can remember but was taken aback by the thought of making the lace. Futile attempt to look for numerous tutorials has led me to make my own through alpha maps! Oh yes, they did work atleast for the look I was going for. So here it is. I hope people could learn something from my mini tutorial. May the 4th be with you all :)

Bruno

This is a WIP head model of Bruno. He's a retired Navy General who likes to smoke outside his porch and drink coffee with a dog on his side. Facial anatomy needs more work, i think. And so many things I could add up to this character but that's him for now.

Concept Gun

A model and texture of a concept gun inspired by the awesome Alexey Pyatov.
Softwares used: Maya, Zbrush, Photoshop, Keyshot

Skin test

Skin test render. Im not happy with the eyebrows.

Sea Monster

Something Ive been working on for a week now. I didnt quite like how the modern tank concept turned out so I added some twist to it. Modern tank engulfed by the octopus monster on a broken bridge. Still needs a lot of work but Im really excited to finish this up and make some time for this.

Pure Bliss

45 min Speed Sculpt Challenge
Theme: Pure bliss

A turtle eating a humongous strawberry all for himself is what came first to my mind when I saw the theme for today. What better way to express pure bliss than food?! I seriously timed my sculpting and it's roughly 40 minutes. I need to look into turtle anatomy because I'm not sure if I hit the right form. Sculpted this theme out of excitement and have overlooked some of the fundamentals.
