WIP 1 For the Bow

Ran into some early problems and started in modo to build the low poly in different parts and keep topology before bringing each part into Zbrush. Still need the grip, the lower limb cog, and some mesh editing before i can effortlessly move each part to Zbrush.

Clockwork Bow (Concept)

Concept sketches for an original clock work design for a compound bow.

This is the base design I like the most out of all the combinations I sketched out and tried

Multi-pass

Multi-pass rendering using Nuke and Photoshop

Nuke's node system is pretty easy to understand. The tough part is getting the merges with the A channel and B channel to output correctly. Also i closed nuked and reopened the project and my back drop and render shots no longer scaled. Last second bugs when your taking screen shots

I compiled the passes in Photoshop as a back up for technical difficulties. I like this final output  because of how fast i can move each render pass around. Also where i had issues getting the creature to appear as a "solid" object in photoshop i could easily  fix without getting lost in the node "web"

Anatomy Sculpt and Torso Topology

Multi-pass rendering Result

It was tough to figure out how to get the shading of the small ball because of my issues with colors and the transparency.

Flesh out of Humming bird snake (side profile)

First time using sketchbook pro with my Turcom Tablet. as i was getting in some detail i desided to stick with the bird like features  and fill in the snake parts as I go. So far the scales are coming ok despite it looking like an armored bird. Still looking for what type of eye fits. the snake like eye just dosnt fit well so far. Still looking at some referances
