zBrush Project - Female Anatomy Study

Trying to build a female model from the ground up. Went really basic and slowly moving up detail on different areas. Slow progress but hopefully less than 2 weeks worth of work should suffice.

Day 1 - Basic build

Day 2 - Small details

Day 3 -

Day 4 - Final for Base mesh

After some time I went back and messed with the final, I left out too much and my proportions were off.

zBrush Project - One-Eye

I wanted to make a character purely from fiction, so I choose the character "One-Eye" from the book series "The Black Company" by Glen Cook. The character is a battle hardened companion, so I'm trying to go for an aged look. The character in the book is in his late 100's, so I'm trying to do all I can to age accordingly. The skin has to tuck close to the skull and around the neck is stringy and loose, very hard to mold onto a mesh.

This weeks zBrush project - Infected

This week's project is made based off my basic mesh that I made last week. This focus for this project is the shoulder muscles when leaning forward, angry muscle expression in the face, and the mouth.

Day 3 - Remade teeth

FINAL

My 5th attempt at making a male basic mesh bust

I know I have made a few male characters, but as I learn new tricks and take more classes, I'm learning more about the anatomy of the head and I think I'm getting closer.

After aligning all the anatomy

After adding all the detail to the muscle groups. He came out kinda ugly with the extra. Work In Progress.

After some new work.

More work today

Final for tonight

How Much Do You Need to Make to Survive in Certain Areas?

I was doing some research for my upcoming jump start on starting over in civilian life. I was wondering how much I need to make as a standard to survive in today environments and where was best to start. I found a useful tool that shows you how much you need per area, per child, per partner. The calculator was made by MIT to calculate poverty in certain areas.

Might want to do the research before having kids. Happy hunting.

How much is your time worth to you?

The guys over at Clearerthinking have made a great online app to sum up how much your time with worth. I suggest you try it, it gave me some great insight. Apparently I need to go find a job worth $18 an hour. Happy hunting.
