Stygimoloch: Head is close to being done!

Is that a textured tounge and accurate teeth? Why yes! Yes it is! ..... are the teeth too large.... yes.... yes they are... : (

Stygimoloch

 Still messing with the proportions. It's hard amassing reference on an animal that is left mostly to interpretation. 

Zbrush Project: 6 - Stygimoloch

Well, I've decided on the next project. A member of the Pachycephalasaurus family, the Stygimoloch. 'Why the Stygimoloch' you may ask without slowing on the pronunciation? I really want to do a dino that's rarely ever done. Everyone does T-rexes and incorrectly sized Spielbergian Velociraptors (that are really utah raptors, Velociraptors were actually very small). I wanted something compact, no sauropod stuff. And I really like the detail and spikes of the head! The image above is the z-sphere beginning of the body. I'll do the arms legs, head and neck as separate subtools until I get the pose I want. 

This one wont be as quick as the Headpiece to the staff of Ra. But it shouldn't take nearly as long as the tedious Bird of Prey!

Headpiece: Rendered in Flamingo NXT 5.0

Damn! Rendering makes my stuff look crazy good!!! Hey, California, can I have a job now?

Headpiece: Side one all finished!

Like a good record, I decided to finish the most important side A, before doing all the B side stuff. Not to say the B side isn't important. If you only do side A you'll be digging in the wrong place. 

Next Zbrush Project: Headpiece to the staff of Ra!

Working for Universals' Prop shop, I should probably start doing prop related projects to beef up my portfolio. What better way to start then by one of my favorite props of all time!!! This shouldn't take too long either!

I just purchased Rhino 5 and Flamingo NXT5. So once I'm done sculpting this, I'd like to render it in Flamingo and see what I get!!

2nd Bubo all done!!!

You've probably wondered where the hell I've gone over the past several months. THIS is partly the answer. I got a commision to make a 2nd Bubo!!! Here he is all shiny and new! I've made a lot of progress on the garage too that I haven't posted. I'll do that soon. I'm also restoring and refurbishing a full size Thestral head that I can't post pictures of, so I've got a lot in the pipeline.

This second Bubo is actually more accurate to  the first one I made. The face is taller, and the eye openings are full circles instead of the oblong ones I had before. I also made this one MUCH stronger, each piece isn't glued on with super glue like the last one, they're all polygemed in! This thing needs to ship across country so I'm taking no chances.
