Work Related Doodles

 

 


I've actually been looking for excuses to draw lately. Quite a change from never finding time to draw at all, huh? The images above are actually work related. One is a 3D image done in ZBrush 3 and one is a quick thumbnail I sketched in Art Rage. These two images are related. The thumbnail is something I'm going to have to build in ZBrush 3 this week. It's a six-limbed alien, and it's for a book cover I'm working on. The ZBrush thingie I drew is just a test to see whether or not I can still use the damn program. I've had ZBrush longer than I've had my kids, but have never really been able to get a handle on it. I can do the basic sculpting and painting, but nothing fancy. I opened the program up on Friday after months of not using it and couldn't get it to do a damned thing. Big part of the problem was that I was trying out version 3 for the very first time, when I'd been using 2.5 previously. They made some big changes between the versions. I finally got some things sorted out when I found the patch for 3.1. That made all these nifty tool trays appear in the program, making it much easier to find things. Any way, I stayed up way too late on Friday night test driving the new version of ZBrush. What you see is the results of my dabbling.

I've done some other drawings over the past two weeks, all on real paper with a real pen/pencil (whoo-hoo!). I'll try to scan those in tomorrow and post them.
