When I see an elephant fly...

Ok, so I kind of felt like posting something a bit more fun than the skulls, so I sat down and sketched a bit.

It's, uh, Ganesha as interpreted by someone who's been watching way to may wuxia films when he had a cold. Everything is still super-rough and the anatomy is all over the place since I'm still in the "trying stuff out" phase, but I'm already having some fun with it. I'm thinking about bulking him out a bit. I was going for "skinny, with distended stomach" but I'm not sure that works, really. I also think the ornamentation on the belt is way to finicky  It works up close, but already at this distance it kind of just becomes a mess of detail.

First Post!

Hi there!

If you're here that probably means that I sent you here and that you already know me. So I'll cut right to it and tell you what this blog is for: It's basically somewhere I plan to post stuff I've been working on in my spare time and I'll try to do it on a semi-regular schedule. That means that unlike with a proper portfolio I'll post a lot of unfinished stuff here. 

Some of it will be bad, uninspired, pretentious and/or generally awful.

Some of it might turn out alright. 

I'd love any feedback you could give me. I guess you could say that's the point of this blog is to become better, unlike a portfolio which exists to show the quality of the things I've already done.

So anyway! I'll start off with tonight's project: Skull studies! (Whooo)

This was for an assignment  in a webinar course I'm attending. Basically we were to take a bunch of zbrush primitives and sculpt three humanoid skulls with a lot of variation in them.  I wanted to sculpt a wide range of "normal" humans. So I chose to sculpt a European female, and an Asian and African male. I included the references from boneclones.com. I spent way to much time on the first one (the European female) so the other two are kind of rushed. I didn't spend much time on the teeth either, they're mostly just there so that they are.
