Lucretia V - Art School Journey

[NosferatuJr]

Thanks, Mitsuki! Your comments always cheer me up

[Araita]

Really good work! Folds looking very much alive

[mitsuki-youko]

Aw! Glad my comments cheer you up

[Lockenheim]

Really lovely work lucretia! One thing that may be useful with this piece is either boldening the sillhoette lines or reducing the opacity on the fold lines inside the figure. The fold lines are really bold and are competing for a lot of attention. That being said you did a really lovely job with the fold shapes and the character! Keep it up!

[NosferatuJr]

haha, great minds think alike! I kid you not, I had an extra layer for the folds but my scatterbrain kept on sketching on the lineart layer. At some point, I was like, "F it, it's fine"! But I do agree, the folds are excessively aggressive. I plan on doing this assignment again anyways; your input is very appreciated Thank you!

[NosferatuJr]

Dressed up my model! If any folds make little to no sense, please feel free to point them out, thanks!

[NosferatuJr]

Ok, this shall be my last cloth-related submission, I'm moving on to the ZBrush assignment... cheers, dears!

[NosferatuJr]

I've been meaning to learn how to operate ZBrush for a while now... here's my barrell! I changed the material to steel cause the shine so pretty Can't wait to get started on the bust sculture - this software is as infuriating as it is fun!

[NosferatuJr]

Here's my first monster. Wow, this software is a lot of fun but it takes some getting used to... I know this toothy guy could have used A LOT more detail but I lost my nerve and just wanted to get it over with. Not a winner attitude, I know, but I plan on going for a wendigo over the weekend as a second monster pass. Wish me luck! Have a great one guys

[NosferatuJr]

I'm REALLY getting into ZBrush... I love it! There are still so many things I want to learn about this software, but so far so good. Here's my first Wendigo pass... well, wendigoish. I'll finish it over the weekend. Yes, I'm totally making it a female-witch-costume of some sorts. I know I should have uploaded the final product but I'm so excited of how the skull looks so far, I simply wanted to share feedback very welcome!

[NosferatuJr]

Ok, this settles it. I'm in love with ZBrush. I've been stalling on Term 3 because I am SO excited to play with this software and, holy hell, I don't want to speak too soon but I might have just found my niche... I'm excited for what the next terms have in store for me!! As always, feedback very welcome!

[NosferatuJr]

i've been following along the first 2 portions of Term 4 whilst coloring muscles on this anatomy book I purchased years ago. I'm quite confused if the TFL should be drawn straight or if it should curve along the quads. This has been HARD, yo... I'm going to try to freeball sketching anatomically correct muscle distribution on a skeleton or two in the following days but I just know I'll have the anatomy book open on my lap the entire time

[NosferatuJr]

This is no joke> I sprained a backmuscle on my jog today. Error, sense not found? Yeah. I know. Ish like this is too ridiculous to be found in fiction. The bugger won't let me breathe. Every time I try to inhale, I feel like my ribs are poking my lungs. Judging from the placement of the sting, I think it's the serratus anterior. But I could be mistaken. Nevertheless, here's another study! Most of my struggles revolve around the legs so I might practice those a little more...

[mitsuki-youko]

oh noes, hope you feel better

also, nice study!

[NosferatuJr]

You’re so sweet Mitsuki, thank you! Yes, I feel a lot better no sooner did I learn with Marc what a serratus anterior is, I’m spraining it. I reckon, it’s a sign

[catsforsnacks]

Oh dang, I hope you have a speedy recovery. Its can be frustrating and a bit scary when that happens. I'm at the age where I have to be mindful of my back when sitting at the computer for extended hours - sometimes I'll wear a back brace haha.
Great studies so far! your 3d work looks really good. I am terrified/excited to get to the zbrush assignments.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[NosferatuJr]

Thank you so much, Grant! I vented here regarding my muscle because of pride and puzzlement. Pride bc I learned from Marc which muscle it was (I believe it’s in Term 3. You just finished Term 2 from what I could tell am I right? Term 3 is awesome too, you’ll love it!) Puzzlement bc I’ve never heard of an upper back injury from running before. Legs, sure, but… upper back? From running? What the hell? xD

Owww, the ZBrush assignment is a mammoth. I dreaded it at first but it’s been my favorite lesson so far. The software is a little daunting and the hotkeys/shortcuts get a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of the basics, it’s SO much fun. Just keep that back brace nearby cause if you’re anything like me, once you’re in it, nothing will unglue you from your workspace <3

Thanks again for your lovely comment! I'll be keeping an eye on you and your dope work too!

[catsforsnacks]

You just finished Term 2 from what I could tell am I right?

Just started it, pretty close though!
I'm glad 3D is in this course, I've been putting it off too long haha.
Keep up the good work!

[mitsuki-youko]

no sooner did I learn with Marc what a serratus anterior is, I’m spraining it. I reckon, it’s a sign

LMAO
Glad to hear you are feeling better

i kinda glossed over the hw on that one cus i didnt wanna spend too much time on 3d :3

[NosferatuJr]

Yeah, I get it... Zbrush is hella daunting. I guess, if you ever have a change of heart or finish all the terms, you can always go back to it
