Hi, yes, it's me. I'm still kicking around with this project. Anyhow, I've been taking a few weeks of break from this project as I was finishing up my first year at The Game Assembly's Game Art programme! It's been great fun so far and I'm looking forward to what the autumn will bring. But before that: SUMMER! Yes that's right, summer is here. I took 2 weeks of vacation to recharge my batteries and now I'm back in action!

I've spent the week wrapping up the highpoly to some great results. Did a bit of a dive into the new cloth brushes (will need further research for that...) as well as some wood sculpting. I found the reference to be a bit monotone with only painted metal and cloth. So I decided to switch it up, adding leather seat and back rest to the mix, along with a few wooden pieces here and there. (Speaking of wood sculpting, thanks Ivanna for that awesome tutorial!)

So what's next? Well, essentially I'm gonna get to work on the final game res asset. Adjusting my midpoly from before ZBrush where needed, and remake what's needed (cushions for example). After that it's on to UVs and then finally textures!

Down below you'll find some shots of the new detailed highpoly sculpt in ZBrush complete with a turntable. I'll see you next week, enjoy!

(Oh you made it all the way, great! Here's a small tease for the diorama. We had an assignment at TGA to sculpt a skull, I'll most likely take it further later and put it in a glass jar in the diorama. It also needs more variation for the teeth. Anyhow, bye for now!)

 

So for the past 2 weeks it's been nothing but troubleshooting. Position issues in ZBrush but not when bringing the mesh back into Maya to check. Not to mention the Maya project got corrupted :(

Nevertheless I had backups of the files (always, ALWAYS backup Adam...) and could finally today get back to work. Hopefully this week will be more productive. See you in the next update!

Me when noticing my Maya scenes had all become corrupt:  

Hello everyone! I just sent in my submission for The Rookies' yearly contest "Rookie Awards 2021". Feel free to take a look. And good luck to everyone participating. I've seen a lot of awesome artwork already, looking forward to seeing more in the coming days!

This week has been quite eventful to say the least, and I feel like a lot of progress has been made on the project! The mesh is now inside ZBrush and I've started adding the hard surface details. Next up is most likely getting the lion paws for the feet looking nicely, and then it's time for the leather!

See you in the next update!

Finally got my midpoly finished! (Yes, late update I know. But I really wanted to get through the midpoly before this update :P) Time to bring it into ZBrush, polish aaaaaall them edges and sculpt some cloth! Gonna be lots of fun trying out what techniques work good. Any tips for a cloth sculpting newbie?

So yea, any cloth sculpt tips are welcome and most appriciated! See you next week! :)

This week I've worked mostly on starting to get the blockout to a more midpoly stage. I also some got some material IDs blocked in :D Got a bit of work left but it should soon be ready for ZBrush! Can't wait for what the coming week will bring. See you all next time!

It's been a week, and more!

For the past week or so I've been mostly struggling with the headrest and its mechanism. But today I finally figured it out! I also tweaked some of the proportions so now I'm feeling ready and able to move on to midpoly!

I also made a gif to demonstrate the mechanism.

Hopefully I'll be posting an update this weekend. On time ;)

Hey everyone!

So recently I got into starting up a new project. I want to make a 1900s dentist office diorama, but first I'm making the centerpiece. I wanted to deviate with the chair from the concept and really challenge myself to make a more ornate chair (which kinda is a project in itself...so here we are). I chose to go with the Wilkerson Dental Chair. I got the blockout pretty much done, but it still needs some tweaking. Especially with figuring out the shapes on the back.

Hello everyone!

Decided to really rock in the new year by joining a sculpting challenge with TheClub Discord. The challenge was to sculpt 1 rock per day in 1 hour. And now that January is over, I'm finally done! It's been great fun really getting into the nitty gritty details of rocks, analysing different references (both real life and from games) and try some slightly different styles. It's been a blast and I hope you like them!

Until then I'm leaving you all with an overview of all the highpoly sculpts in ZBrush. Great job to everyone else who participated and supported each other throughout the challenge. A special thank you to TheClub Discord for hosting this challenge. I'm looking forward to more art and fun throughout the year! Bye for now!

6 new finished projects in 2020?! What a year!

2020. What a year!

6 new finished projects. That just feels crazy, especially in a year like this. I feel like my art has evolved a ton. I couldn't have done it without the community! So a big THANK YOU! A lot of other stuff has happened this year too. Moving to Malmö and starting new studies at The Game Assembly was probably the biggest. Looking forward to what's to come!

Here's to another year of art and the game art community!

Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and good luck in 2021!
