One day I shall

C’mon don’t talk down on yourself.

Not with that attitude, practice makes the master, not the other way around. You think this person did it only when they were in the mood and wanted to relax? It's a everyday battle against your own commodity and mood to achieve progress, it all begins with self discipline 🙏🏻. Now go and believe in yourself, cause nobody else will do it for you.

I like his work, he´s putting in a lot of effort and my following comment isnt meant to question his abilities. But what many people dont understand is that sculpting with reference is really not that hard. Its just tedious. If you put in enough time and you learned the basics of sculpting, you will get there. Just keep going! :)

patience*

incridible

you are amazing!!!

Hey, What an inspiring work. Really beautiful! thanks for sharing it. How do you do this simple rigs for static characters? Can you tell what tool you used?

sorry, a little off topic, but how do you make such emoticons?

is it possible for you to upload some of your characters to VRChat?

There’s a thumbnail

Trust the process 👌

How has it been going?

10 years xD

you could actually learn to do this in a manner of months, weeks if you really pushed yourself.

@@yesyes-om1po With some experience in a similar area, yes. Like Some background in character design and illustration maybe. With some experimentation with the software first as well. But without any previous knowledge? Months if you really pushed it without a fulltime job or any other liabilities. Without the experience in lighting and staging at the end as well. But it doesn't take 10 years either. Depends how actively engage in practicing on a very regular basis and whether it's structured and includes any mentoring or atleast some peers to get feedback and guidance with as well.

​@@yesyes-om1powell definitely not weeks, but you can get very good at sculpting in under a year, but then there come other 3d areas

He was already pretty good at it 6 years ago so probaly 7-8 years or longer, so the dude saying 10 years probably isn’t that off

Thank you so much!

I appreciate that!

thank you!

Thank you! Cheers!

The tools are now the same in both blender and zbrush. You called it complex, yes for the artistic side and anatomy knowledge but the technical side is quite simple. Now you will need zbrush only if you need to sculpt detail with high density of poly and maybe layers and posing high poly. Not the case with a cartoon character. The polygroup and masking workflow are still way better in zbrush though. Can't wait for blender to go deeper with it, they only scratch the surface of possibilities that they offer

Agree

Zmodeler is a UX nightmare at first, but it can handle these operations pretty smoothly I'm pretty sure

You're right that it can handle basically all those operations. It's certainly possible that I'm missing something, but my experience has been that it never gets quite that smooth. I tend to use quad-draw in Maya when I need more specific topology like that, but it'd be nice to have it all in one program.

thanks!
