Hi everyone!

I'm new to Cubebrush, and this contest looks like a great place to start sharing my work! I've only recently started working on art-work and have greatly enjoyed exploring ZBrush and Maya for the past months, so I'd love to hear your feedback.

Current status: sculpted a base in Zbrush

I'm going to be joining the FANTASY side, as you might have guessed from the title. Here is the start of my concept:

Some of the reference I'm using:

2D is certainly not my strong suit, but I wanted to sketch out a starting point. I'm still looking for some attributes to add to his outfit, maybe some more shaman influences, and I need to rough him up a little.

I hope you like it. I'm looking forward to work on this, and enjoy the work of all of you guys!
C&C always welcome ^^

Cool! I like the idea that his sense of vengeance is so strong that he is willing to put his body through so much pain. Can he spur out bones from anywhere?

@lmazzei Thanks! And yes, that is the concept, though I want to visualise him in the final composition in, or right after, that first fight. So he is not entirely in control yet of his newfound powers. What I want to do is make more bones spur out of his body, but in places were it makes the most sense for them to grow in an action.

For example, the 'spear/sword' from his fist makes sense as he already wishes to attack his enemies in a blow, and the magic and rage in his mind just make the attack much more deadly.

Hi everyone,

I had less time then I hoped the past few days, but I managed to squeeze out a base-model in ZBrush. This is the first time for me to model a muscled character, so figuring out the muscle definition was / is a challenge. C & C welcome!

Current condition of model:

Quick polypaint for a general idea:

I hope to get to some blocking out of clothing and accessories tomorrow, as well as some variations on body-paint / tattoos.
