LF Housing at Burbank

Hey! I’m looking for housing around the area of Burbank, Los Angeles for a gig I got at DWA. Intending to stay for several months–I’m fine with rooming with anyone too.

If you guys know anyone in need of a roomie please pass the word around, I’m pretty chill, follow rules, got no pets, though definitely a PS4 and Switch to bring to the table. Also lots of figures…and drawings. I don’t snore either and get along with anyone and any pet as well. 

AHEM, but yes! Any leads would be might appreciated!

Any art folks near Burbank/L.A. looking for a chance to have a Switch or PS4 in your home? Both consoles come with the latest games and a chill Gabo. You need one in your life. Studies show that having a Gabo in your home increases your life expectancy and safety against werewolves.  Help a super talented artist & friend.

Signal boost for any of my followers who need art programs!

The cs2 programs date back only a few years, and still have much of the functionality of today’s more modern ones. The differences between most of the versions are little more than slight modifications or additions of minor features, and UI changes. Go for it guys!!

Also, in case the page is down, here are the download links + serials.

First of all: These are possibly the weirdest (and most awkward to take) photos I’ve ever taken. I’m happy to share for the purposes of “ugly” solidarity though!

Since you seemed to think the description of my teeth was cool (I was the “beyond not-perfect” anon) I figured I’d send you some photos incase you wanted to use them as drawing reference or something.

P.S.: Sadly I didn’t have any x-rays to hand so you’ll have to take my word that there’s still some up in my skull!

Very cool! Woah your canines are awesome!! :D I really wanna draw a character with your teeth now lol.

I was thinking the same thing!  This is super dope reference for sculpting as well. This is really rad!

Instantly made me think of this hahaha.

Holidays are over, time to update! I finished up the low poly and baked/textured everything in Substance Painter. I then took that into marmoset and created some mood lighting with some fog and made a pedestal! Now time for the beauty shots.  This was a great learning process especially because of the input I received from others. The workshop I took part in was pretty damn amazing.

Yo yo! So I wanted to post the last images of the HR sculpt for Illaoi. There were still a few tweaks that needed to be made but overall after getting a few critiques the face improved immensely.  As far as the armor other then just a few minor details ie: scratches, cuts, dents still needed to be done but all others could be handled in Substance Painter with the texture.  Next up, retopology and UV’s...yaaaaaaay. =‘( 

[natesculpts-blog]

Yo yo, happy late holidays to everyone! Here is another update on the Illaoi sculpt. This update I really want to show why getting critiques is insanely important to improving as an artist. The top two images were the original WiP (work in progress) sculpt that I had been plugging away at. Then I posted on the amazing forum polycount, and received amazingly helpful input that I didn’t see prior.  Next up will be finalizing the high res before jumping to retpology and then rendering.

Here are some reference sheets that I setup before I start projects. Especially when I’m using an existing concept I always like setting up one sheet for body type and then one for materials.  This particular one is an unused concept sketch done for one of my favorite League of Legends characters “Illaoi”. I wanted to give off the definite bulky strong feminine type of body she has and finding ref for that was a task indeed.  The concept was done by: Alexandr (LittleDruid) Pechenkin. Check out his other sketches on his art station he’s bad ass.

Here’s an orc I did after studying compositing in photoshop. It was actually something I was pretty proud of for a while. I wanted an orc that kinda had his nose/face completely mauled in a fight and is now looking for some payback.  I used Zbrush for sculpting and painting and photoshop to make all the final touches.

“May I take your hat sir?” This was inspired by an inside joke a friend and I had for quite some time while we both worked pretty “meh” jobs. I imagined a little demon bus-boy running up to you with tingly little fingers asking to take your hat and or coat. This is the result! I had a blast sculpting him, he seems like a totally chill guy.

Here are some renders of a Bleach fanart piece I did a while back. I had just read the chapter where Kenpachi awakens his bankai and couldn’t resist. I decided on bringing him through the character creation pipeline and use some PBR settings for him too. A difficult part was getting the scale of everything to line up and seem realistic or atleast “realistic” lol. A lot of fun was had looking up reference and actually busting this out. Doing his hair cards was a bit of a nightmare too but came out great!  Rendered in marmoset and textured with substance painter.

This is another old Zbrush sketchup I did some odd years back. I had this idea for a queen of thorns or atleast plant/insect life kinda deal and this is what I was able to crank out.

Here is another sculpt I did quite a while ago. I was really into grassetti’s anatomy tutorials and this was one of the results of watching those videos. They were immensely helpful and insane.  I had a blast sculpting this one and rendering it was also a blast!
