Those T's look great SalviaDroid, stoked for you. I will have to grab me one of those as soon as my bank account allows :thumb_up:
 
Here is my latest contribution. I dedicate it to all women with balls, such as Adry del Rocio who inspired me to work with colour and my sister who can use some extra strength with the things she is dealing with. (I consider it not yet fully finished work, needs some more plants and/or animals).

Thanks, mang. As close as I can figure, it was probably about 1,200 hours, soup to nuts. I've been working on it everyday since February, and two of the tools (Yama's head and Hiranyaksha's pet spider) I already had completed.

This is the first really complete concept piece I've done, and the first time I've worked in this manner (with a completed piece of 2D concept art to work from). I liked it. I rejected some choices along the way and discovered a few new ones, but I knew when I started exactly what I needed to sculpt in order to get there, and I figured the timeline would run about as long as it has. The assemblage and rendering of all the separate pieces was by far the biggest challenge - much, much more so than the sculpting. That I kind of had to learn (and make up) as I went, and I felt uncertain until the past month whether or not I would actually be able to get there, or if this would just end up being a very long and tedious exercise that I couldn't actually finish.

It's 100% 3D, and probably 99% ZBrush. I used Maya to initially model a few of the hard surface pieces, but they were all then imported into ZBrush, where I did all of the heavy lifting. It's all polypainted in ZBrush, rendered with BPR render passes, and then comped together in Photoshop.

At full size it's about 5'x8'. I think I'll try to get it printed, and I still want to do a black and white clay render.
 
If you download the image and blow it up to full size, that's how big it is. The detail just doesn't read any smaller, and even at that size, a fair amount isn't really visible.

Oh i meant irl, like on a wall. Would be pretty epic. Awesome job
 
1200 hours is madness Art, what an incredible amount of patience you must have (had).

let me know if you're looking for a solid printing deal, my guy might be able to help you out. he does some really high quality stuff, i'm not easily impressed but seeing the next level aluminum and resin finish prints he sent me in the flesh sure blew my mind. i posted a shitty iphone photo of one a few pages back but it really doesn't do it justice at all.
 
I did, and I have to say that his prices are very reasonable. I'm printing 37x60" on aluminum (which is about as big as he can do), and it's $633 (which includes shipping).

Very excited to see how it turns out.
 
Man oh man Art. That image is crazy. At the small size in your post I wasn't too thrilled with it. It just didn't seem like a style I prefer. But when you said it took 1200 hours I had to see it full size. I downloaded the file and viewed it and was shocked to see the level of detail throughout. Amazing work! Then I centered on the crouching figure's face. I swear it started to pulsate. There is some serious power going on with this image. Utterly amazing!
 
Thank you very much. My aim is to fuck up yo brain.

Yeah, not to get all prima donna or anything, but you have to blow it up. It really doesn't read that well at any smaller a size.

A grey clay render is coming up within the next few days. I think it should look equally compelling, but I'm still very much in the thick of it.

:thumb_up: Yes! I know exactly what you mean, as it is the same formula i use.

Drown the Brain in details until they can't take anymore and everything starts moving.

But 1200 hours. Damn! :shock:

How do you motivate yourself?
The longer i spend time on a project the more likely it is that it fails.
I tend to bite more than i can chew.
 
I'm impressed with the level of work that floats around here. I especially love, love, love Handel's collage work!!

However generous it is to have them downloadable on your Flickr, you should be making money of those Handel... Or maybe you do despite also having them downloadable? Are they digital collages or scans?

I am a professional architectural photographer myself. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to but I'd like to link to my hobby project, a blog on which I post urban landscape photos from my hometown, Utrecht, the Netherlands.


Keep it up guys, some really awesome 3d stuff here as well (Sebastian for instance)!
