DESCRIPTION: I really liked the idea of making a self-portrait diorama based on one of my favourite paintings ever. I replaced the dog with a cat - since it represents me much better and changed a few tiny details in the fireplace itself. Trying to copy Tissot’s mastery was a huge challenge and a great exercise. I hope you like it.

Description:

[/b]I found this to be a pretty interesting challenge. I’m relatively new to z-brush so I really enjoyed getting to do a full little scene. It was really good practice for many elements of Zbrush. I created all my base meshes in maya, but put the entire scene together in Zbrush. Also all textures were painted directly in ZBrush. I was sure to leave my orthos untextured because I really want to ensure that my model is judged based on the model and not the textures. This is one of the better models I have done and many many hours went in so I hope you enjoy.

 The visuals say it all really.  Had a great time with this one, making a self portrait is definitely a challenge.

Oh yeah, I am having troubles with my web hosting service. Occasionally it won’t connect/load my images in my posts. So if nothing shows up please message me to let me know and refresh the page to try and bring them up. Tried hosting these on photobucket but they started pulling them due to the slight nudity…

Thanks for viewing :smiley:

I must admit I felt pretty bad about defacing such a beautiful work of art. This was modeled almost entirely in ZBrush, The exception being the hands and feet , they were modeled in 3DS Max. Rendered in Zbrush, with level adjustments in Photoshop.[/li]

DESCRIPTION: A replication of a portrait I had actaully never seen before, but I instantly fell in love with it while searching the net for a peice to work with.
I spent most of the time on the head. And if I could do the project over again, I would spend a little more time on the clothes, and alot less time on the textures. But then again, I learned alot about texturing. Just to mess a ltille with the original, I changed the buttons a little, just for fun.
Thanks for watching.

I just wanted to model myself as a classical statue …from many great works i choose Prima Porta . Why? I just liked it ,thought that it will be hard enough to be a challange and it was. I’m happy from getting that far ,but few things should be fixed in my model :slight_smile:
Time is the killer…
Once again thanks for tips,it was pleasure to watch your wip’s too.

• Name: Nico Strobbe

• Reference: Besides a mirror there was no reference used.

• Images:







• WIP thread: WIP

• Description:
The original idea was to make an image of a painting inside a room, where the characters exceeded their canvas boundries to interact with the real world. Here the 2 characters are stereotypical representations of myself. While one character tries to grab an axe, the demonic character holds him back to avoid a fast exit.
The sculpted models were converted into 500k meshes and imported into an 3d application where it stressed me out to get it done. The total scene is around 1,5 milion polygons. The beauty render has no textures. It does use a lot of blurry reflections.

Due to a lack of time, i was not able to give the characters a facial expression.
PS: yes the guy’s neck is too long. The result of rushing to the finish.

i decided to make my own version of the greek myth. i tried to do a different pose from the original but it didn’t end up as dynamic as the original… i know it looks like i’m baptizing the centaur instead of killing it and that’s because i didn’t finish :stuck_out_tongue: the pose is suppossed to be me pulling his head back by the hair (but i have no hair yet) in the other hand i was gonna place a rock. i was also trying to make a more round composition in plan view as opposed to the long linear one in the original which is difficult to break with a horse.

Well, guess I’ll start this off. First of all, it was really great fun participating in this challenge. There were some pretty awesome entries (yes I participated, but I’m not gonna vote for myself).

So, here, goes, this isn’t gonna be easy:

Best WIP thread: Magdalena Dadela (Intervain)
Best Bust: Paul Robinson (robo3687)
Best Model Collection: Magdalena Dadela (Intervain)
Best Diorama: [color=darkorange]Scott Broad (scottimation)[/color] I interpreted this as best all around pose, movement, action, scene. I love the tension and drama in this piece.
and the big one…

Best Model: Magdalena Dadela (Intervain)
[size=2]
[color=#fffffe]Well, there it is. Not really easy to decide although I do think maggie’s was really kickass. That dress alone wins best model imho.
