Inspired by the smile of a piece from an "ear" video from Taron, and wanting to sculpt a more "by the book" recognizable goblinoid head than my previous page attempt , here is my updated entry.



I was overlooking a lot until now the clay option of the draw brush, unsure my mouse sculpting would be precise enough to really make a difference, but i found during that one, that the clay function introduced a very nice visual depth to the facial muscles that the draw without clay can't do without the help of several other tools (multiplying then the face count).

Ahaha, that's excellent, hehehehe! A bit more focus on the ears and it'll be brilliant. I really, really like the eyes you're making! They have a very good touch.

Vladimir, it's amazing how russian the head looks, haha, awesome. Very good start!

Sreeivas, that has so much spirit, haha, great. I think, if you got to take the time and really work in the details, this one could have some great power and could become very delightful! ;D

Loving this software, coming from a technoberk stance as I do. I'm 2d guy, with little or no comprehension of 3d unless it relates to wearing those glasses at the cinema.

Some truly wonderful work about in the various threads including this one of course. That's a fantastic expression and over all sculpt on that last elven entry - or is that only to untrained eyes(?).

Been dabbling with this a bit, and have got a real kick out of your various vids, Taron. So inspirational - but do you have to make it look so simple (damn you - no, not really). Here's one I'm working on at the moment.

And a variation although rather similar, but with exaggerated features, and clumsy use of texture brushes in the sculpt.

And a close up on the thing I'm working on inspired by the 'plane scuplt' thread. I guess his facial expression would count.

I wanted to exercise on something different this time, then I saw the illustration "Redneck Bigfoot" of Kevin Keele and I thought: "why not?"
I know, I'm not even close to grasp the essence of the expression of the original, anyway here's my entry.

AH, Nickillus, you're born for this 3d stuff, I can tell! ...once you get really comfortable, you'll make some insane stuff, no doubt at all. Uhm...sorry for making it look so easy, but you seem to confirm it!

hieveryone, that's very neat. I love the beard!

Great works are here. I join with little contribution

Great personality there, wonderw! The eyes could've used a bit more love, but alltogether a great and very original piece! Love the hat, too! ;D

Old Man with Glasses.
Im not going to texture because . . . well no other reason other than my lack of wanting to do so.

The glasses look more like welders goggles a little bit hahaha

whilst i applaud ALL of these challenge threads i do feel its somewhat unfair..why?..let me explain before you flame me.
here we have all walks of life from the semi-pro to the complete noob
this is great as it brings all levels together to learn
however when it comes to "challenges or competitions" the pro's will always produce the most amazing stuff. I can tell you as a complete novice to any form of sculpting program seeing amazing sculpts next to your noobish effort is very disheartening.
so personally i think things should be split into categories ie.
complete novice to ANY sculpting software
amature some experience with a sculpting program
hobbyist fairly familiar with sculpting programs
semi-pro been using sculpting programs for a good while.
pro sculpting is what you do, you live to sculpt.
industry you work in the industry doing 3d modeling and sculpting.
at least this way the noobs can look at other noobs work and feel much better about what they are producing. but also look at the pro's work to admire and learn.
i might have completely the wrong end of the stick and it might just be me that thinks this way, and for that im not going to apologise because its part of my disability.
at the end of the day this is just a suggestion, end of story.

fragme, These challenges are for fun, and to challenge yourself as an artist. If your judging what you see here on technical skills, then your not seeing the art.
