I've taken to Zbrush the start of this week and it's just taken my heart so fast! It was so scarry at first, Dynamesh, Z-smooth, what are tose words!? I've gotten the hang of it now and damn, I's been really taking a good bunch of sleep from me pff. I've really been sucked in by SD's since I have my Migidoll, the size is amazing for sewing clothes, detailed shoes and clothes, big enough to cuddle with yet not too big to take up too much space if you can spare some. So with that I've been looking for a doll that fits my art style and sadly? I can't find any. Not surprising lmao but it's still strangeley dissapointing. So I went to sculpting one: Derestrados is the name (Aka Angerey boy, mr resting bitch face, grumpy) and he's meant to be an angry kind of rough yet soft looking dude, a good chunk more masc compared to a good quantity of SD sculpts that go around 60-65cm range. Might not seem as special to some, My art style is not verry unique, I just like the way it translates in this sculpt. A mix of anime, semi-realism and then paired with the extremeley thick, exagerated eyebrows and just eyeliner-eyes is hard to achive with some sculpts. My Migidoll looked a little weird when I did his first faceup because of that. Have some more pictures of him! I'm tweaking the proportions still from different angles since it looks a little wonky on some. Hah! I was also thinking of making a body because I'd love to have a moving neck peace, tough I'd really need to get a better grasp on z-brush to do the jointing. Anyone able to give me some advice? He'd be athletic, clearly someone who has an agile body and participates in a lot of hand to hand combat. Like a football player of sorts yet with a cat-like elegance. Do I make sense? Lmao I did not sleep much. In short: The body should look like he'd be able to climb around the walls of your home looking for that baseball bat to beat you over with it because you ate the last eggroll. (Skin I plan on painting the print once I even get it, Haha It's a little darker there what I desire is a little more creamy) OOF, my next plans are tweaking the proportions from different angles, add teeth or not depends. But since his name is Derestrados a good few fangs would be sweet, even tough the lips dont add enough space for viewing well. It's the idea behind it that counts.. Then my other plans are: Deciding if I buy a body or make one myself, How to do the jointing either way I need to make a neck and faceplate system somehow and then kind of figure out how I'm gonna get him printed. I don't have a printer, it's an expensive thing and the material is just as expensive Then all this tech language that I really don't understand. I'll think about it when I get there. (That's a lie, I'll totally start making a plan for now in regards to all of the above) Keep an eye on this thread or my instagram @Purple.Space.Rocks (Something along those lines) If interested in my process. I got 3 other sculpts in working, one is an androgyn skinny sculpt and another is a chubby lady. Also both SD sized. (Might reveal them on Instagram by Firday)
So I've lost this one's file, I don't know how it happened! But, It gave me room for making a new one. I've seen many issues with Derestrados after working on some other heads and it made me a little discouraged to work on him. SO THIS IS DERESTRADOS 2.0! He's simmilar to the first version has some tweaks tough. His cheek bones are more pronounced and his jaw line is a little sharper I'd say. His eyes are less lidded wich I'll work on to make a little more lidded, I really like the looks and his mouth also is a little to small now but all is going to be fixed in due time. I made a quick mockup in poly paint and Clip Studio: He looks a little like Hanzo, just missing the beard! Here's all of him without the mockup from Clip studio. I have a body done wich is getting it's own thread in a few, Soo uugh: STAY TUNED??
