Description Trying to do some new work for my portfolio

Turian based loosely on the original study in the mass effect books plus some inspiration from a sculpture by Jordu Schell.


I'm not a concept artist, so i tried to find something that I could sculpt from. Even though i'm an environment modeler by preference, i couldn't think of anything to sculpt in zbrush that was strictly environment based! sooo... here you go. turian.

I need to do some work with the stamp to do detail scale texture work.

Not only is this beautiful in the Zbrush way, but you could say it made an art project in high-school art so much more fun. <3
The project I'm currently working on is a clay sculpture. Now, when it comes to clay, I'm quite unimaginative (my heart goes out to plasticine). So I decided to not do something original and do a turian bust instead.

And my little joy at the idea would've been crushed if it wasn't for this Zbrush'd turian ya did~ Teacher would not have let my scupt if I didn't have something that showed various angles of the subject, and so this did it~

So I am eternally grateful for you making my art class more enjoyable. (And for indirectly creating the funniest memories of me going hysterical when my turian's head fell off while working on him) <3

This really makes me want to see a Turian skeleton. I want to know what's under there, even though I haven't even played ME.

you run across some turian corpses, but they're just models with bad textures. :/ no skeletons.

This is so awesome. I'd love to see a tutorial on how you do this sort thing, the stuff you use and everything. Just really awesome lookin' stuff.

i have a few things on youtube here: [link] but that's hand sculpting.

and this is how i learned zbrush basics: [link]

I also studied classic sculptures in the museums to see what they noticed about the human figure, and i got a few books on sculpting polymer characters from amazon. :3

Yay Turian!

I am in awe and have mad envy of how effortlessly you seem to be picking this entire zbrush thing up. I've tried it and felt so clumsy.

batchix In reply to rotemu [2010-09-23 23:30:31 +0000 UTC]

i think if you tried it you'd probably pick it up too. Sculpting "feels" the same to me no matter what medium i'm using. i know the shape i need to make, it's just figuring out what tools to make to get the shape I need.

You should try a doing one of a female turian! *nod nod* And would it be okay if I used this as a reference to draw Garrus nekkid? XD I need an excuse to draw him nekkid and my excuse is "does he have many scars under all that armor?" lmao

batchix In reply to ilikeshinyobjects [2010-09-24 04:37:40 +0000 UTC]

If they are like birds, i'd speculate that female turians are planer, look very similar, and possibly bigger than the males. XD

Go ahead and use it as reference! I was going to! XD;;;

That's so impressive! I really thought it was an actual sculpture until I read the description. I'm in super-Mass Effect mode lately... (the new DLC got me to do another playthrough). It's interesting to see what they look like under all that armor!

Oooh, not to be an enabler or anything, but it's such an awesome mission! I don't know why it wasn't part of the original game. But definitely wait until you can spend some quality time with it.

I will! I made up a dumb, college-schedule type calendar to help keep me on track - Flash study, with breaks to study Zbrush and a wee bit of Maya (HEY I MADE A CUBE ).

NOT JUST ASS, HOT TURIAN ASS. D:<
