Progress on the horse body for the night; so far it really looks more like a dog. I'm wanting to go more for a draft horse look/ Freisian horse, and will probably be fattening the back end up a bit.

Progress for tonight! I still need to merge the subtools, and then tomorrow I think I will work on her face.

MissVantaBlack 2017-01-14 17:27:45 UTC #8

I've been sick so little progress, however I messed with her face a bit and body proportions more just to play than anything and really liked the results, so I played with colors and materials as well!

Lightened her up so I could play with markings paint. None of this will be final but it is giving me a feel for how it looks in 3d, to a degree. She still needs much sculpted detail.

Played with posing last night, as well as materials. This isn't final, more like a preview so I knew I was going in the right direction for me. SO far the answer is, yes.... though I will push the pose to be more extreme.

That said, I've started putting scales on her and while I really like them, they just seem a bit chaotic where the shoulder and rib meet. Any suggestions or insight on this?

For example, on the ribs you can clearly see the "rows" that flow, and same goes for the shoulder, but where they meet it's a bit muddy to me.

Slowly but surely, she is coming together.

I hand placed each scale to get the look I wanted, and her placeholder hair is being slowly replaced with clumps that I am also individually sculpting.

I'm considering her backstory now, I already knew what I wanted about her role vurrently but not about "how she came into being". It's being formulated and I'll post her story up as soon as I am satisfied with it- though it seems to evolve as I create her more!

Here is some progress I made last night on her hair!

MissVantaBlack 2017-01-27 04:18:10 UTC #13

Not much done tonight, played with her face to get it closer to her original concept.. it's not the same on front and side views in teh concept art so I kind of merged it and. You guys. I love her so much.

Thoughts?

MissVantaBlack 2017-01-29 08:33:18 UTC #14

Progress for tonight! Unsure if I am loving the hair on her back- I may redo it.

RogerP 2017-01-29 16:54:49 UTC #15

Concept looks sweet.

MissVantaBlack 2017-01-30 06:43:58 UTC #16

Thank you so much! I'm going to do my best to do her justice :c

MissVantaBlack 2017-01-30 21:22:42 UTC #17

Added more "floof" that's unfinished to her mane, and started working on her braids.

I'm hoping the dr visit on Thursday clears some things up so I can work on her more!

MissVantaBlack 2017-02-01 16:41:40 UTC #18

Made it this far tonight... only to realize her braid was upside down. D:

I know this is a way that can be done with braids it's just not looking right to me

MissVantaBlack 2017-02-02 09:09:58 UTC #19

HER BRAIDS ARE DONE! Any feedback here is greatly appreciated, I'm still a bit shaky on the fur on the braid side.

guillaume_depaepe 2017-02-02 22:14:21 UTC #20

Beautiful concept Looking forward to it !

MissVantaBlack 2017-02-03 09:01:10 UTC #21

Thank you so much! I hope I can do her justice, this sculpt is a lot of firsts for me!

MissVantaBlack 2017-02-03 09:02:15 UTC #22

Not much work tonight, but she now has arm fur and claws, as well as the start of her scales on hands and arms.

MissVantaBlack 2017-02-06 09:46:23 UTC #23

I've made a LOT of progress today.

-She has back fur now.
-SHE HAS A TAIL NOW!
-Fixed her leg scales.
-Sweet jesus you guys there was just so much fur to sculpt.

MissVantaBlack 2017-02-07 10:44:38 UTC #24

Made a lot more progress tonight! I played with the paint (which didn't really stick, mostly)), again just preliminary playing with stuff for now to see how it looks. Also did all her chains/jewelry and fixed a few Mat issues.

MissVantaBlack 2017-02-08 09:21:52 UTC #25

Made her clothing tonight, though truth be told it will probably be best for me to retopologize the entirety of her before I do the clothing.

If anyone can point me in the direction of some good fabric tutorials I'd love you! I don't need to know... how fabric falls, perse. I just need to know how to make it in Zbrush.

Currently, I'm modeling single planes in Autodesk Softimage, importing them into Zbrush and making them thicker in there, but surely there is a better option?
