Final render 1. lots of re modelling of the mech concept, tweaking the pilot sculpt and refining the characters.

Its been a while since I’ve posted, not least because my workload has been chaotic since january but I’ve been developing a new personal project and just enjoying the process of creativity without feeling the need to post updates all the time. I felt that the Hatamoto sculpt had gone so well that it was time to develop my own series of mech characters based on what id learnt in z brush and keyshot. this is a test render and the first of hopefully many other poses / render tests. the central canopy opens to reveal a pilot inside and the controls for the mech (I’m still working on the interior), the goal being to also sculpt the pilot and then 3d print the entire thing as  a kit. as personal projects go, my goal was to work more quickly than hatamoto sculpt which i spent around 3 months on - this is probably a 3rd of that time in and around my other workload so its good to have learnt some valuable problem solving lessons for that sculpt which made life way easier on this new sculpt. Will post more renders / turntable pics later…..

Finally finished my rendered photoshop comp. Lots of keyshot renders went into making this, plus a lot of background assets I pulled together from various sources and friends. I really wanted to make this look like some of my favourite japanese model packaging, theres something frenetic and immediate about the scene that they capture in those pieces of artwork and I had a lot of fun throwing everything at the image and pulling back some of the carnage to clean it up a little. I wanted it to look a little like the last stand so really went at the model with various rust and paint damage passes in keyshot, brining it all into photoshop and extracting the sections using masques and transparencies. I may or may not do some more poses later on with the finished Z BRUSH model but time to move onto a few more exciting projects that I have lined up over the coming months. Will post a turntable of the final model another time.....

So I finally got round to sculpting the setpiece for the Alien Queen model, really wanted to test how lighting in situ helped with the final rendered scene. I'm really pleased with how this has come out, lighting using specular and diffuse lights was a totally different approach to my rendering technique so i was surprised the results came out as nicely as they did.  If anything finding the unique angle to render at was the trickiest part. 

The Alien Queen was probably one of the monsters that along with the predator had a profound effect on me growing up. There was just something so terrifying about in onscreen that it took me multiple watches to finally get through the film (i was 8 at the time) My dad was also equally as impressed by it and couldnt wait to show it when the vhs rental became available sometime in (i think) 87. Ive had a real roller coaster ride with this sculpt, really hope it does stan winston studios justice as a fan tribute. finally, its time to move onto a new project...

FINALLY. sculpt is finished. 4 months (on and off) of some pretty intense hard lessons in fixing shitty mesh problems. zremesher/ dynamesh and project all (plus some damn good guides) really helped save the day with this. 

For the paint job i went with blue which a lot of the toys do as I'm then able to control the tonal values in photoshop much easier, the results came out really nicely with this comp i think. theres a few more comps i want to try as well as a key shot render, but I'm pleased with this. even if the scene (or pose for that matter) aren't super exciting in this composition, I'm hoping to be able to have a little more fun with that in another idea i have based on some of the old dark horse comic covers from the early 90′s. Im certainly looking forward to starting a new project soon. 

I found some nice aliens colonial marines screenshots of hadleys hope on google, thought very lightly used it was less abusing someones else's hard work and just adding a hint of the movies environment. Hope they would agree ;0)
