Shanaynay’s Sketchbook

Hi guys!
First time posting on Cubebrush!
Wanted to start this thread here showing some of the work I do. I'm a freelance character artist based in Berlin, doing work for games, toys, figurines and more...
Mostly I'll be posting sculpts and realtime stuffs, so if that's yo thang you might find some stuff you like

Let me start out with something I did some weeks ago for a client:
This was actually printed (1m tall!!!) and a mould was made to be casted in a mystery material again!
Soon I'll be able to tell everyone what the purpose is and I think you'll like it!!!

Anyway I liked the sculpt a lot and decided to make a render of it in Modo, hearing so many great things about the renderer. And yes, these came out in under an hour! (only minimal post was applied and only a weekend was spent trying to figure out the renderer! I've had worse...)

And here's a picture of one of the printed pieces.

I also wanted to show you guys my latest artwork.
It started out as a summer character workshop with Lee Devonald but it turned out I needed more than just summer for this baby. It was my first realtime character in a while and needed to polish up on some stuff - like pbr and Substance in general. I learned a lot and documented most of my findings in a thread on Polycount. Don't wanna cheat on cubebrush here but I do want to share with you.

Concept is by Meomai (Jessica Madorran). Her work is super cute and always well designed. Check her out!

For the sake of starting a new thread here there's also some WIP images included in this long-ass post

Hope you like it!

Only rougyhness and metalness maps below!

And the flat shaded version below;

I also went ahead and rigged her completely in Maya. This was - except for the skinning - one of the faster steps and really fun to see her come alive!

And if you wanna give her a spin here's the Sketchfab version:

Here's some images from before the rigging and posing, where I was nearly finished (yes we're going back in time!!!)

Below the version with ONLY normals. Baked in Substance Painter (viewed in Toolbag)

And some topology madness for the fanboys. That hair was a challenge, let me assure you

And last but not least; the finished Zbrush sculpts! I did went back to the hair to add very fine detail (for the specular and normals to give a better effect)

So, on to the next one!
Thanks for checking it out

I started a new project this week, for the sake of Mermay and to the concept of the ever so awesome David Ardinaryas Lojaya. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTojssTjVCx/

I started streaming my progress (for the first time, I feel like such a newbie <3) and this is the result after two streams:
