Portrait drawing of live models turned into orcs

Portrait drawing of live models turned into orcs

Speaking of imagination during life drawing, here's some models in turned into orcs. I've always wondered what they thought as they would usually walk around the room after their pose out of interest #art #drawing

The more I went to life drawing classes the more I wanted to inject some more imagination stuff. So here I drew the pose with different proportions in mind, a 9 head height model, then a 4.5 one, like a dwarf. And a draenei-ish. I was quite into WoW. #art #drawing

Do you use a lot of references while making these? The process and end result always look super clean and very enjoyable because of the style.

A project that stopped at the sculpting stage. I had a plan to revamp my portfolio with some projects that would grow in scope and this was meant to be the first one. Blockout in blender and then Zbrush. Concept by Jourdan Tuffan #3d #3dart #3dartist #Zbrush #3dsculpting #zbrushsculpt #blender

Anatomy study from life with a pose broken down to skeleton, muscles and then body

As I was learning anatomy I did these exercises where I'd try and draw the skeleton/muscles and body. This was done from life in a museum #art #drawing

Here was something that was out of my comfort zone because it was more cutely stylized. Mostly done in blender with some work in Zbrush. Concept by Sebastian Wagner #3d #3dart #3dartist #Zbrush #3dsculpting #zbrushsculpt #blender

Portrait studies from old master paintings

Portrait studies from old master paintings

When I'd go to museums I would really only focus on a few pieces for studies as I felt looking at too many art pieces would just feel overwhelming. It's wild how on some stuff I can recall vividly the place and time. So here's a few painting studies #art #drawing

Been cleaning up all my files on my pc and combing through so many 3d projects. Some finished, most unfinished or abandoned. I'm going to start posting a bunch of them over the coming weeks. Starting with a vintage camera with sub-d modeling using #3dsmax #3d #subd

I feel so defeated. I graduated from Cologne Game Lab this week and I've been looking for a job opportunity for around 3 months. I haven't seen a SINGLE 3D Environment Art position.

If you know ANYONE in Germany that looks for a 3D Artist please help me.

I used to draw a lot as I wanted to become an illustrator (before pivoting to 3d). Been cleaning the attic and found some old drawings of mine. Definitely got better over the years. Order is 2008, 2009 then 2013 but I stopped drawing a lot between 2010,2012. Self portraits and a live model. #drawing

WIP on elven blade concept from Moniek Schilder. Experimented with a fibrous look on the blade but will implement in in the texturing for more control.
