I added more detail and texture to the skull.

Jim Zombie 01(warning this is a bit graphic)

This is a screen grab of what the finished Zombie looks like in ZB. I spent about an hour transforming my face and skull model into a zombie.

Quick Zombie 01(warning it's a bit graphic)

I wanted to show how easy it would be to make a zombie after you have a skull to morph to.

This shows the work workflow of how I went about creating the female head.

The original head topology was used to create my head. I plan on detailing her out more soon.

Grandpa Sculpt Post 5.

I've been trying to get the structure of the face more symmetrical as well as flesh out the ears. I've probably spent another 4 hours on it...sheesh.

Grandpa Sculpt Day 4.

Today is my Grandpa’s birthday. Needless to say I was a little extra inspired. I spent about 3 hours smoothing his face out and adding some finer detail.

3rd Grandpa Sculpt Post.

I haven't spent much more time on it. I had to get a better stand to put it in and add a little more foil to the back of the head to get the shape right. Also, I spent a couple of hours adding some face detail.

OK, I finally got started on my Grandpa's Model. It's going much faster this time around, but man do I have a long way to go.

My Grandpa Rice Sculpt.

I'm going to take a crack at modeling a real head this go round. I think my Grandpa Rice would be the perfect subject. He was nice enough to sit still and let me take a couple of pictures this Thanksgiving. Here goes...

Super Blooper!

I loved working on the Superman Returns game...too bad nobody liked playing it. Oh well I got to do some fun stuff. Here's some of the heads I modeled and textured.

Zbrush version of Alien Sculpt.

After spending months working on my first sculpture I decided to take a pass at it in good old Zbrush...It took 4 hours to get it looking pretty close to the original sculpture. I've been working with Zbrush for 4 years now...Zbrush rules!
