This was an easy one me, I watched everything Spiderman along with reading the three comic series they had out at the time.  Like my previous post in the GIJOE theme, I'm taking advantage of these art blog posts to learn more ZBrush and I'm really liking the program.

Here is the base mesh I worked up from a low poly model.  I'd have to say the painting of all his webs in his costume almost drove me crazy.  I couldn't tell you how many times I almost switched him to his all black suit :)

After the model was done I had to figure out his pose.  Spiderman has always had very acrobatic type poses, so I hit the Internet looking for some classic poses.  I had never nocticed before but most of the time he has his legs shooting out in front of him, so I had my starting point.  After twisting my model up for the pose I had to go back in and rework much of my sculpting due to the severe amounts of pinching and stretching i had from the pose. 

Anyway, here is what I ended up with, hope you enjoy:

Hello again!  Didn't think I'd be posting again so soon, but some of the other artists wanted a little more time to tie off their stuff, so here I go again.  I actually wasn't going to do another post for this topic since I had already done the Skyhawk, but Moffitt finally got me to start using a new software package for modeling called ZBrush.  I started out with just a basic sphere and started sculpting over our lunch times just trying to get a feel for the program.  I was having a blast with this new program and had come up with my first head sculpt.

After a couple of days of playing with the program I decided to take the head I created and try to turn it into a GI Joe character.  Due to the oversized jaw I'd given the dude, I knew he'd have to be one of the big guys.  After a quick reference search over the internet, I found Gung Ho and he matched up nicely.  Normally I get reference first and then try to create, so this is not my normal process.

Well anyway, here is my final image:

Thanks for stopping by again.

Hey all!  Here is an image I worked up for the latest GI Joe theme.  Like most, I was a huge GI Joe fan growing up and had several of the toys, but unfortunately for my toys they lost the war with my BB gun!  I decided to try a vehicle for this theme, so I started surfing the web for an interesting design.  As soon as I saw the Skyhawk I knew it was the one.  I didn't want to do a straight remake of the toy, so I added some "slight" modifications to it.  Like Grimm2021, I took part in the 3D Challenge put on by CGHub but due to lack of time and my laziness, I never got around to finishing the final composition. 

Here is a work in progress image:

And here is my final image:
