Thank you! I don't actully keep the symmetry :) just sculpt each side independently. Here's the stream recording of this sculpt in real time if you want to see the full process: ruclips.net/video/aUFVVhYMw8A/видео.html

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!!

Mostly ClayTubes. Also Move, Dam Standard and ClayBuildup

My pleasure :) Thank you for providing the reference!

Very rarely, usually I try to work from good references. This was the reference for this one: www.bodiesinmotion.photo/motions/79

@@EyesofLamia ok thanks

Hi! Thanks for the comment. I do 3d professionally, but I am not an anatomy professional. I just find it interesting, so I am learning and exploring it in my spare time. I can't recall now exactly how long this one took tbh, but usually these take between 1-2 hours. These days I usually stream my anatomy scupts as I am making them. You are welcome to check out the stream recordings in the Live tab for similar sculpts or join in on Saturday mornings when I am streaming to see it in real time :)

@@EyesofLamia ok. Thanks for the information

It's the adaptive skin made from a custom zSphere armature I use. Here's a video on how I created it, and there's a link in that video's description if you just want to grab the ztl file with the armature rather than creating it from scratch: ruclips.net/video/Na0tyEFQwS0/видео.html

@@ChronisArtthanks so much!

Thank you very much! Happy you enjoyed it 🙌

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! Hopefully more people will see it eventually :)

Thanks so much!!

Also congrats on getting half way to being monetised!! 🥳

@@DougFromTheBayou Thank you dude! Yeah the road to monetisation is long and hard xD Not sure I'll ever get there. My views/watch hours are very uneven. Yeah timelapses in Zbrush are easier than in other softwares - as long as you save the history stack, you can use that to create timelapses through their Movie menu. That lets you set angles and stuff. So I did a separate timelapse per angle, then combined them in edit. I am not really aware how to do good timelapses in other softwares. Short of just recording the screen with OBS. I think that has timelapse option where it takes a screengrab of your desktop at timed intervals. I haven't tried that though..

@@EyesofLamia Oh I forgot about the history stack! Its been so long since Ive used Zbrush! Thats a nice feature. Yeah I used OBS last time and its ok but you end up with a massive file even if you lower the capture rate and its just kidna ugly! I'd love one from a fixed perspective like youve done here. Maybe theres an addon thatll do it.

@@DougFromTheBayou Would be really curious if you find something. I'd love a better way of creating timelapses outside of Zbrush like in Substance Painter and stuff. Unfortunately not yet come across anything myself

Thank you very much!! :)

Thank you Solin!

Thanks a lot dude! I don't know exact times things took - because I was working on it in the evenings, weekends, between jobs and everything else. First Zbrush file is from mid October 2023, last one from mid March 2024. So was on/off sculpting during those 5 months. Then materials, lighting, rendering and putting together the audio was another 5 months haha. Rendering was a lengthy one for sure. It was 4K animation, think it was about 5-8 minutes per frame on average. And there were about 1.5 - 2k frames before I cut things. Also had to re-render multiple shots too due to some issues and errors. Loong time. Next one I will probably try rendering in Unreal to speed things up. Although depends if I can get a good marble material there. I rarely pop on instagram these days, but whenever I do, I see you're making some insanely cool stuff yourself in 3D these days. Very impressive, it's very cool that you kept pushing forward with it! You're an awesome artist!

@@EyesofLamia Yes, you can definitely see that you have invested a lot of time. That is dedication! Definitely far from a small "evening project." I wish I had that much patience with my stuff, haha. A super interesting topic you choose also! And thank you for your words! Don’t worry about it, Instagram is still dead, unfortunately. But I’m happy that our paths still cross here and there :) I will never forget that you gave me the jumpstart back then. I’m also very glad that I stuck with it, it has opened some doors for me, even though it was really hard to stay committed at times. Let's see what the future brings. Super happy to see that you are also pretty active, even if it's not on IG.

@@Amalgam3D Thanks again dude! I wanted to start doing longer pieces, because I couldn't keep up with pace social medias while also doing work that inspires me. I tried to keep the pace up for a bit, but looking back at work I created during that time, I wasn't happy with a lot of it. So figured I'd rather go slow and do what excites me. I'm getting too old to chase algorithms, might as well just go at my own pace and do work that I want to create. Sorry to hear Insta is still dead dude, I don't really know which social media is alive these days. I am mostly on X and here on RUclips these days. Sometimes things feel alive, other times not so much xD Glad that 3D stuff opened some doors for you and it's genuinely very impressive how you stuck with it and kept doing it all on your own. That must have been not easy and it's a massive accomplishment how far you've travelled with your work. Very happy if my ramblings helped back in the day dude. And likewise, very happy that our paths still cross here and there :) Hope there are massive things coming for you. Your self discipline and progress definitely deserve all the recognition!

Hey, thanks a lot! haha, the timelapse is coming sometime, just need to finish editing it :) There is a timelapse of the cloth part already here: ruclips.net/video/GlXr5feWyvs/видео.htmlsi=31OJw7tk3HfvWsFa Snake hook and move brushes for the main shape, then a lot of dam standard and claytubes for the folds. Then to refine it all I used these Selwy's brushes too: www.selwy.com/2009/zbrush-clothes-tutorial/

The model is CTL-472 - the small one. For hand gestures - due to the small surface area that I use - most of my action comes from the wrist, so it's just very small movements - there's really not much to show. It's basically same movement as writing with a pen.

Thank you for watching! 🙌

Thanks a lot Trevor! 🫂

@@anonemusofficial2511 thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! Love this question. Honestly - I am not yet sure where this project will take me. That's the short version :) Longer version: Initially I would like to explore scenes and characters that already resonated with me in some way. My childhood was filled with predominantly Western art, Slavic folklore and fairy tales, Greek and Roman mythology and to some extent the Bible (which is not exactly a mythology, but it's filled with vivid scenes and characters that captured me as a child and are still imprinted in my mind, so may be some works inspired by those in these series). South Asia's art and culture are incredibly rich, beautiful and yet unfortunately - it's not something that I am currently very familiar with. I would like to keep myself open to cultures and mythologies that are new to me however. And if I discover something that fascinates or inspires me, I'd of course potentially be interested to explore it through my art. Whatever culture inspires me for future artworks, I hope that I would be able to reflect some of it in the style of the sculpture too, to be respectful to the culture that inspired it.

@@EyesofLamia Awesome, looking forward to wherever it goes!

Thank you! I didn't have one specific reference for this. Was using a combination of multiple references. A couple of photo packs from Grafit Studio on Artstation. This one specifically was very helpful and inspiring: www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/k1p1k/370-epic-male-reference-pictures-bonus Also Anatomy4Sculptors book and the echorche reference on their website. Also Bammes' Anatomy book when I needed to understand something in more detail.

Thank you so much Lucien!! 🤜🤛

Thank you so much Doug! Huge praise ☺️ I was aiming for a very traditional sculpture feel here. I'll definitely check out the god you mention. There's clearly a gap in my knowledge of Greek mythology, the name doesn't ring any bells 🙈

Thank you 🙌

Ah dude, I am sure your hand looks awesome, so far all your models do! Still blows my mind everytime seeing how much 3D prowess you got. Wish I had that much dev skill!

Thank you very much for watching, glad you found it useful. I pretty much only use the third method these days :) Some further research, after I did this video, shown that this menthod is built upon Andrew Loomis's head drawing construction method, so his sketches and explanations are really helpful.

@@EyesofLamia I also think the third method is good, but the action of "cutting" is not as convenient as carving physical clay. By the way, if you use the third method to make a stylized head, what will be the process?

@@lazyng6631 Yeah it took me a while to get used to cutting too, ClipCurve brush is pretty handy for that. I don't do many stylized heads, but my approach would be to make a rough generic head with realistic proportions first and then tweak the volumes. That's how I approached sculpting Piccolo's head here (First 35 minutes are sculpting a generic head, then after tweaking the proportions and shapes to make the stylized verison): ruclips.net/video/mXQwg5vnVcg/видео.html

@@EyesofLamia Excellent. I'm highly inspired by your carving process. Additionally, thank you for sharing some of your experiences in the video.

Not sure what you mean. These are a few snippets from a sculpting timelapse. Shorts is not the best format to show off the entire process of sculpting. The whole sculpt was streamed here if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/9fVbXYA_ReM/видео.html

@@EyesofLamia I am interested. It just looks like your going up levels of density

Haha, I will do soon Doug, I promise! 😄 video is done, just need to edit and VO it once I'm back home.

Thank you for watching! 🙌

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for the kind words! This method was inspired by watching @Stecca. 's channel. I talk more about it in this video (the third approach to sculpting heads): ruclips.net/video/V4grvLUvn58/видео.html& (In the description of that video is also the link to Stecca's video that inspired me to try this) As I discovered later - it's a variation on Andrew Loomis's method for drawing heads. So looking at Loomis's drawings and explanations really helps to internalise it.

@@EyesofLamia Thanks so much for the insight, much appreciated. It did strike me as Loomis-esque, so that makes perfect sense. And I will definitely check out that full video and the Stecca one, thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more of your sculpts!

Haha thank you Doug! Yeah it was really fun to sculpt them, especially the second one 😄

haha, most definitely not xD

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the kind words! 2-3 days for a full body sculpt is already great. There are many variables indeed, and a polished sculpt can take a long time. One of the pieces I'm working on now - I sculped the body over several months haha. To improve the speed I think sculpting to a timer really helps. Set yourself a timer for 1 hour or 30 minutes (if you're feeling really brave xD) and see what you can sculpt within that timeframe. Even if the result is not perefect, leave it and move to the next one. Once you do these quick studies for a little while, your brain will start to adapt. The "deadline" will force it to concentrate on the important bits and stop it from getting too caught up in the details. Of course doing this regularly helps too. If full bodies are too much to do within an hour, then maybe isolating and concentrating on different body parts could help too. Good luck with it, and hope dating with an artist will all work out too :)

Thanks! Yeah definitely will be more. I try to sculpt both male and female forms, even though female bodies I find much more challenging.

Thank you!

Thank you 🙌
