[collings]

cool stuffs Stephane, looking forward to see more work from you here man :thumbsup:

[Intervain]

nice - lots of character in that face - I really love it when people concentrate on this rather than adding more pores... looking forward to more:drool:

[Porkpie Samurai]

Agree with Mag, awesome forms. Great to see your work.

[clay]

Great to see new work from you Stephane! I particularly like the old guy, like Mag said, he's full of character.

[StephaneD]

thanks everyone for the comments
I'm glad you liked these, I'm never too sure about my own stuff when its fresh :)

intervain, I'm glad you say this as I feel detailing is often overated, it is very superficial to me. your stuff is great by the way!
there's actually so many talented people here its a bit indimitading :)

should have some free time soon to update this

cheers

Nice! did you add the eyelashes volume in there?

Very cool sculpt :beerchug:

[Manuel Poehlau]

Nice! A great mix of smooth shapes and hard transitions. And I like the shading :thumbsup:

[tonytrout]

Nice, eyelashes are interesting, wondering where you are going with those?

[StephaneD]

thanks
actually the eyelashes volume is just a quick dirty sketch to give an indication of the expression, just a sculpting layer I will delete later ;)

[tonytrout]

Thats a cool trick, hadnt thought of that, nice :thumbsup:

[jasonlin]

Did you come from a traditional sculpting background? Your works are so simple yet so amazingly expressive! Would love to see some of the wires and screens!

beautiful Stephane!

[StephaneD]

thank you!

nghia: I had no artistic training before I started 3D but I think digital sculpting softs we have now are clearly bluring the line from traditional/digital sculptors, it is now just a matter of approach in my opinion.
I am trying to approach digital figurative work no different than a traditional sculptor would do, learning about rhythm and forms rather than just trying to have the right volume at the right place like I think I used to do before sculpting softwares came out. such a long way to go :)
still I got interested in traditional sculpture lately, I may post some works here as well later.

as for the wireframe, I didn't pay much attention to the topology as it was just a sculpting study, so it is not very interesting there really

I love the woman. Great pose, very sensual.

[PascalR]

still I got interested in traditional sculpture lately, I may post some works here as well later.


Please do post them! :) Love the posed woman, feels very natural:thumbsup:

[tony-n]

Finish them!

[StephaneD]

thanks pascal for the frontpage!
nice to see a scultpure section on the board too, I'm in as soon as I find time to finish the one I worked on lately

Brett
thank you, I am not sure of it in hindsight, but well its a sketchbook
glad you liked the model :)

hey tony
thank you for the feedback, the idea of these sketches was to keep it rough but I must admit I have been unreasonably lazy with those hands :)
I may come back to it later
you're a busy man now but I hope to see some new stuff from you on occasion :)
