Would YOU do drawing requests?

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

Mythix, go download ZBrush, It will make your life so much easier.

And no that isn't Swabber, it was some random girl in my class.
I've done drawings of her though.


I can't draw very well with pencil, but with charcoals I'm alright =/

Ps. ZBrush now.

We're using mudboax instead of Zbrush. Is there a particular reason everyone vouches for Zbrush instead of mudbox? IMHO mudbox looks easier :S

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

half assed attempt of the dragon you posted in profile

just the head because im lazy

That's exactly what I'm looking for, lines cleaned up and stuff of course, and the dragon in the positions from the front side/side view.

Feel free to PM me if you're interested!


Also darkshark about it being too curvy, we're practising subdivision which is mainly what I want to model a dragon for..

Nice feedback though. leonid you and me appear pretty equal in drawing xD looks abit like my first dragon even though I'm doing tutorials now, the infamous "draw 50 dragons" book.

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

Check out my photo page and you'll find a couple of scraps

That being said I want to get back to learn some drawings

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

i'll draw whatever i can but drawing creatures isnt my thing so you'd have to get me reference pictures and i'll do what i can to make profiles from the reference

here's a dragon standing, sort of the muscles and stuff I'm looking for



Credits to Rinpoo Chuang for the black dragon and DragonOfThynHeart on Devi~ for the white.

They show sort of what I need visible, allthough I want them in a rather unnatural pose; standing upright instead of crouching on the pictures.

As for the head
Side:



No idea who made the doll, the sketch belongs to Auns.

That gives the big idea though, right?

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

yep

do you want the dragon to look a certain way? if not i plan to just do this one in all the views and stuff

Nope, that one is nice and clean, I like it. Allthough I like the epicness of the dragon on first page, the one you drew first... =)

Easier = noob

ZBrush has reversible poly mesh subdivision, as well as every painting option you can think of. It's just superior.

And why I say you should be using ZBrush with your model is this;
Create a VERY basic model in 3ds max, I'll boot up my 3ds max and give example pics in a bit, then move the obj file over to Zbrush (mudbox if you really want to) then sculpt out the larger dragon-like details from there, then subdivide, go into more detail, subdivide, more detail, sub etc. Wings would be something you would model separately then attach later on.

I'll try and make a quick example.

I'll get ZBrush trial and test it just because I believe you. I've seen movies of both mudbox and ZBrush on youtube but as you said yourself it's something I'd have to experience I guess.

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

ZBrush is amazing. Google ZBrush Central and check out some people's projects.

I'm personally not very used to the software, but in the future I'll definitely be taking the time to become comfortable with it- it's quite a fascinating program.

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

First off I box modeled the dragon, starting with one box, 2 width segments.



Then convert it to an editable poly. and start extruding the sides.
(switched to 3ds max 10, just cause I like the modeling controls better)


Save the model as .obj wherever (export)



OPENZBRUSHBITCHES

and then import your model



Then just subdivide it (ctrl D) and get to work! This part kinda depends on your own artistic level, but after you're satisfied with the details you have, subdivide again, and add more, and so on.

This is about 8 minutes of sculpting



15 mins



Will post more as i continue. Actually nah I think I'm done, but you get the picture.

rofl thats awesome

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

LOL I lol'ed so hard at my own stupidity right now!
It only loaded the first picture, this


and I wrote a reply to that, but couldn't post because I lost my internet, hence not loading the other pictures >

I really have to try ZBrush now, I did a human head in mudbox and after changing the skin, the lightning setup was no where as good as the one you have there in ZBrush.


It was good though. Will be testing, thanks.

But I still need the drawings because I'm doing this for class, and it's not an ZBrush assignment (unfortunately) but I will toy with it for decals if I'm happy with my model.

EDIT: Btw that's a happy dragon, lol.

Re: Would YOU do drawing requests?

Import it back into 3DS or mudbox or whatever after crafting it in ZBrush.
