Spaceship 3: Blueprints

I've been working nightshift, so it's taken much much longer to make these blueprints than I intended. This is more or less what the ship will look like from the side. I'm using the top of a pretzel jar to make the front clear dome. Now I can start building!

Spaceship 3


   These are the rough sketches of my next project. I'm sculpting and lighting a space island cruise ship. Right now, I'm drawing out 1:1 scale blueprints. I intend to have fiber optic lights, LEDs and clear plastic domes for the various island sections.

Teaching myself ZBrush!


So my at-home art plan has been one real sculpt, one zbrush project, one real sculpt, one zbrush project, etc.. etc... etc... Well, looking up youtube zbrush tutorials is extraordinarily inefficient, so I manned up and bought 'Introducing ZBrush' by Eric Keller. It's been very good so far. I'm on chapter 4 and the book takes you through making a dragon from beginning to end (among other things). So this is what I've got so far. Up to this point I've learned about most of the important tools, making armatures with zspheres and polymesh. I'm eagerly awaiting texturing, adding scales, posing, and coloring. The program, like most others, is frustrating and slow to learn at first, but by the end of chapter 3, I feel much more comfortable with all the crazyness that is ZBrush.
