Here comes round two of the already much loved and soon to become astronomically popular "THE Sculpting Challenge" -- so few limitations, accept no imitations! :crazy: :blah: :cry: Alright, corny slogans aside, this comp is going to rock because this time around we're giving the winner the chance to hold their awesome work in the palm of their hand! That's right, win this sucker, and 3DTotal, along with GrowIt will provide you with a $200 Super-high detail 3D print (http://www.3dtotal.com/3dprinting/). Not bad for 4 hours work eh?

This week we're keeping things broad and straightforward, and above all, fun for everyone... With that in mind, let's get the boring bit out of the way, so we can get on with it!

Rules:

1. The competition will last two weeks, with two weeks allocated to creating and submitting the entries, followed by several days of judging and voting the entries -- at which point the next competition will start.
2. The moderators will be supplying a base mesh for each competition, (this week's provided by forum user Crimson King! Thanks pal! :D) from which everyone will start sculpting with. This is so we all get an equal start and it keeps us on topic.
3. There will be a time limit for the sculpting. Spend no longer than the allocated time limit, then post a screen-grab of your model. No cheating, we are relying on your honesty here.
4. Do not add any meshes other than those sanctioned in this competition brief.
5. As the base mesh shows, the sculpt is a shoulders and head sculpt only, do not attempt to extend this into a full-body sculpt.
6. No rendering, texturing, lighting or rigging, let's keep it all about the high-res sculpt. What we are looking for is the quality of the sculpts you can produce "under pressure". If your entry is not complete, you can still post as long as it's recognizable and on topic.
7. For your final entry, post a screen-grab from your software with your finished work in it. It's fine to present this stuff nicely, with nice labelling etc, but do not add any post-production to the images themselves. These images must be uploaded to our servers by using the "manage attachments" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images files. Larger than the maximum size or posts containing links to external images (other than for reference materials) will be removed and the poster disqualified.
8. You can have multiple entries, but you can have only one final entry for each competition.
9. Do not create your own WIP thread. Simply post all WIP screen-grabs in here, and your FINAL entry in this thread.

These rules apply to everybody taking part, there will be NO exceptions!
We've attached the base mesh at the bottom of this post. Take it and go subdivide.

Prizes
The winner will receive a $200 3D print of their character sculpt, see full details of this amazing prize here. (http://www.3dtotal.com/3dprinting/)
Our guide for preparing models for 3d printing can also be downloaded here (http://www.3dtotal.com/services/3dprinting/images/The%20Basics%20of%20Growing%203D%20Models.zip)

Time limit - 4 hours
Deadline - Tuesday May 27th, 10:00 AM GMT +0
Subject - Half-Human, Half-Animal.

We've all been there, it's a normal night at the cinema, the movie's in full swing and you're just about to reach your arm around the neck of your main squeeze, when all of a sudden you transform into an anthropomorphic vision of frenzied destruction and kill everyone in the room. In this comp we want you to take the base mesh provided and sculpt your visualisation of such a transformation, in any way or fashion you deem fit. Realistic, fantasy, stylized, anything goes. Pick whatever animal you like too, wolf, horse, puma, slender loris...

We've also given you the option of having eyes this time around, there's a separate .obj file provided or you can add eyes yourself as sub-tools (or software equivalent) but you have to pick one or the other of these options, not both.

Manimals assemble!

[Steamtrooper]

Cool, something to realy get my teeth into :)

[funkdelic]

I knew it haha, when I saw the 3D print news in the front page this come to my mind!
amazing guys, really amazing!

[freesupra]

YAY this is gonna rock

[M_Cederstrom]

Dude this really rock man.:D Round 2 here I come.

[InsomiaInc]

wow this is cool! im in!

[omnicypher]

heres the starting base mesh, now we wont all have jagged shoulders and messed up neck lines! im in on this one.

[omnicypher]

30 min:

[Noodles]

can it be a mix of multiple animals?

[omnicypher]

1 hour

[Teyon]

Just so that I understand - we're allowed to have a series of entries where we:

have a creature with eyes

OR

have a creature without eyes

but we can't have one entry with eyes and one entry without?

Bit odd if that's the case but okay by me.

Something else I wanted to understand - can we use transpose (or whatever Mudbox has that's similar) to get the model into a pose we like before sculpting? For this challenge in particular, it would be beneficial to do so. I understand that we're not allowed to rig the model but this isn't rigging so much as moving.

[NeoGeo]

nice one i'm thinking man lizard

No Teyon its use the eyes they supplied or add ones yourself, but not both.

Tranpose does not alter the mesh it only moves its points so its perfectly fine.

[Iron Boot]

Here is my Lizardman. 1 Hour, I couldnt figure out how to add eyes in Zbrush without dropping the model.

[DJdude]

i cant wait to c the entries.

[Iron Boot]

Here he is with the eyes, I figured it out. SO 1 hour and 10 minutes

[Mindblade]

Now I start to love this...after I had no time to finish a model for the last contest I hope to participate this time;-) Fun for everybody

cheers

[DaddyDoom]

ok... seven minute doodle... lol
Behold > R A T M A N!
This is my first try at ZBrush so... be gentle.

[DaddyDoom]

ok... two minutes after posting this the light went kaput and I hadn't saved it yet.
How cool is that?

[JHarford]

Wow, great idea for a challenge. And a very nice base to work from, thanks Crimson!.

Just to be clear, are we sculpting mid-stage of the transformation or after the transformation is complete? Thanks

[Freespace-3DT]

ok... two minutes after posting this the light went kaput and I hadn't saved it yet.

Haha! The ratman did not wish to be seen...

[MiVaDeBo]

ok... seven minute doodle... lol

This is my first try at ZBrush so... be gentle.

haha! Cool! RATMAN heh? Aiming for a new superhero, are we? Hope you'll rebuild it.. Looked good!

[bgen]

Haha DaddyDoom i like that sketch :D.

half man half lion - 10 min sketch.

[Aleks]

Wow, great idea for a challenge. And a very nice base to work from, thanks Crimson!.

Just to be clear, are we sculpting mid-stage of the transformation or after the transformation is complete? Thanks

It's up tp you,Joe :) As long as it has both animal nad human features - you are good to go :)

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Wowzers, wonderful entries already, ok come on guys somebody do a Thundercat please! I really wanna see you Zbrush/Mudbox masters create Liono or Panthro, Or Tygra, hell even Snarf! Or Mumra, Monkian, Jackalman, Slythe, Cheetara, oh heck the whole cast! lol :)

DaddyDoom, shame about you losing you're entry there, but as a newbie in the program I think you started out pretty good, better than the stuff i've been creating, I need to study anatomy and correct posture shapes etc before I try anything like this.

I'm much happier watching you brilliant and talanted artists create away :)

Keep 'em coming guys.

Kind Regards

CG

[Freespace-3DT]

Haha DaddyDoom i like that sketch :D.

half man half lion - 10 min sketch.

That's looking great, bgen. You're fast. Keep up the great work! :wave:

[MonteCristo]

can it be a mix of multiple animals?

No. The brief is broad enough without having to look for ways to improve on it. :)

[Nocturn8]

Awesome wips so far... great work guys, this competition is on the heat.

I think i'm in... Will try and give it a go for a Minotaur type beastie man.

[Iron Boot]

The Half Lion is pretty sweet for a 10 min sketch. Here is my finished product. A total time of 3 hours sculpting. :dance:

[bgen]

That's looking great, bgen. You're fast. Keep up the great work! :wave:

Freepace - cheers, thec orc competition helped me to speed things up.
i am using mainly the clay and move brush in the early stages.

[MonteCristo]

The Half Lion is pretty sweet for a 10 min sketch. Here is my finished product. A total time of 3 hours sculpting. :dance:

Not bad, but I think you can do better. The problem with this one is it has all gone a bit out of control. :) Just because you can add lumps and bumps, doesn't necessarily mean you should. These things, while seemingly random, usually have a language of their own, the scales of a lizard, the plates on a tortoise's shell, the wrinkles on a rhino's hide... etc. I reckon you should try another one and this time, keep it simple. Also the shader choice here is not a good one. I recommend MatCap Gray. It shows things nice and cleanly, and doesn't obscure them.

[freesupra]

40mins so far wasnt really sure what i was going for then came out the idea for something camelish.. slow for where its at but owell. hope this falls into the category :)

[neolith]

Wow,i kinda expected this award thing,cool stuff :D I'm gonna try a bird man,hope i'll get it right :) Good luck,everyone,there'd better be at least the same number of participants this comp :p

[Nocturn8]

35 minutes in zbrush and this is what i got so far... Had to save the document and come back to it later. had so much to do. I'm hoping to get a much faster phase with it. Still a lot of necessary details and adjustments to do. Hope you like where it's a t so far. don't know if i'm on the right track.

[Mindblade]

Freesupra, I just love your idea and you sculpt. I am hoping to see more soon;-)

LG

[Multipass]

About half an hour in Silo. Might try a new direction though - not sure whether this is working.

[omnicypher]

i didnt even think of joe camel, cool idea

[graphicmate]

Here's what i got so far. comments are welcome. thanks :)

[Freespace-3DT]

Hey graphic mate, that's looking pretty neat. I think his collar bones are a bit too big, and the whole mesh could look a bit crisper, maybe give it another subdivision?

[Astaroth]

really great contest XD
i got some idea, but need to decide what animal i have to mix
before that, can someone tell me how to add eyes in a model??? XD

[M_Cederstrom]

I'm thinking of doing a rabbit.

[neolith]

before that, can someone tell me how to add eyes in a model??? XD
You have two .obj files attached in the first post of this topic,one is the head and one is the eyes.Import the eyes,go Tool>Polymesh3d,then import the head.Now go to SubTool>Append and select the eyes.The head and the eyes will now be two sepparate subtools.

[Teyon]

Man to Ape -Mid transformation. 30 minutes in so far

[Nocturn8]

WIP 2

35 minutes in the first WIP and another 45 for this one. So far I've used 80 minutes in the allocated time.

[Astaroth]

thank you very much neolith, i've leaned something new ^^

[aby arty]

well i wanted to conform are half dragons alright?

[Teyon]

Here's one hour in. I have to thank 3dtotal for doing this, it's really helping me to get faster.

Now to try and really get into the model. Not sure how well that'll go.

[bgen]

Teyon really great work man. i stand in awe and do not know what to say. Do you sculpt in real life as well ??.
Nocturn8 - well done mate , i like his nose and cheek bones.

so 46min. have past. will do the rest 3 hours in the evening - i like it how he come along.

[oliver1]

great!
i will post something today!

Alex Oiver

[Aleks]

great!
i will post something today!

Alex Oiver

Oh yeah,Alex is in da house! Great to see you here,sir :) Looking forward to another great model from you ;)


Good stuff everyone! I'd join but my head hurts :( Maybe will post something tonight...

[Teyon]

The master has arrived! Welcome ALEX!

[aby arty]

The master has arrived! Welcome ALEX!

just out of curiosity who is oliver sir?

is he a legend far superior than vitaly?

and i needed ur suggestion on what style should i give my half dragon

[Teyon]

This is one hour and a half in. I decided to post this version because I got it into my stupid brain to do extra detailing, so I subdivided twice more and well...my computer didn't like that idea too much. I don't know why I went two instead of one but...anyway, I think I like the clean look of this more so, there it is.

Edit:

Oh, and thanks for the kind words about the model. Nope, I have only ever sculpted teeth...out of DOVE soap....when I was 12. The only other sculpting I've ever done has been digital. I do have a comic book background though so maybe that's helping? Maybe not? I dunno. Anyway, thanks and good luck everyone! (Alex is here...you're gonna need it. lol)

[Nocturn8]

aby arty:Alex OLiver info: http://www.alexoliver.art.br/ - absolutely great artist with great sculptures and an arsenal of abilities.
Bgen: thanks for the comment dude. that Lionman is looking sweet dude. and the pose matches his personality,
Teyon: looking great dude. it's hard to portray the transformation and you're doing it really good.

[Teyon]

In my mind, Alex is to sculpting what Frazetta is to fantasy. A master of the craft. What's even more amazing about him is that he started with real world clay and then moved to digital.

Thanks Nocturn8!

[Multipass]

about an hour

[kazmamurat]

freesupra, teyon; great works guys...

[Teyon]

Thanks. Managed to get the extra bits I wanted done (this time I only subdivided one more time). I have to start work now, so I'll likely not be working on anything else today but I'll be checking in to see everyone's work!

So that brings the total time to one hour fifty minutes.

[Teyon]

Aw crap....I forgot to turn the eyes layer on. Awww maaaan.

[TonyClifton]

excellent modeling, teyon!!!

[oliver1]

PIG MAN

Teyon-thank you buddy!

Nocturn8-thank you!

here's my model ,22 minutes until now, today yet i will post more i just saved the ztool and i will work again tonight
commnents please

Yeah, I like the way this one is headed. Enjoying the Asymmetry. Welcome aboard Alex. :)

[Sathe]

Hi Guys,
I am liking these challenges alot,
Joe and I struggled to fit into the time slot this time. We only barely managed it.

Nice entries, and good to see Alex in. Hi :)

[Aleks]

Alex: For 20 minutes that's looking cool.Love that mean expression ;)

Grant: You know what I think of it =D

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

God you guys are good! and bloomin' quick too :)

I'm loving the entries so far, fantastic.

CG.

[bgen]

Sathe - simply put - beautiful - i am astonished ure sculpts are ace.

So much talent in this forum - i can learn here from "the" best people.

[JHarford]

Fantastic work everyone.. great to see you here Alex O.! and your aleks ;)

Grant.. wow , bad ass falcon man!! woah.

Here is my wip entry... well the first one anyhow.. although it's 3 hours.

It's a Spinxcatwoman. Ancient egyptian cursed race.
:)

115267]

[Multipass]

10 mins but trumped by the other excellent birdmen here

[Aleks]

That looks mighty cool,Joe =D I was actaully thinking of making something sphinx cat related :)

[Redregon]

crud... since i missed the deadline on the other one, let's see if i can do this one.

hell, even if i make it or not, it's still practise ;)

[JHarford]

Thanks Aleks.. those damn cat's are ugly! :)

teyon, just saw your work... it's real nice, I can feel the struggle.

[CapnMorgan]

This is it after 1 hour

http://apt80.com/Images/Content/Untitled-1.jpg

ive been working in Zbrush now for 2 weeks so let me know how im doing thanks in advance for critiques

[Steamtrooper]

and i needed ur suggestion on what style should i give my half dragon

I wouldnt have thought a dragon was realy allowed in this, unless your talking about a Komodo that is. It could lead to too many mythical options being available. Id stick with a Komodo or one of those lizards with winglets that can run across small stretches of water.

Along the same lines are extinct animals viable?

And too the guy thats doing a rabbit - dang you sir thats such a nice idea :)

[Teyon]

Cool work gang and thanks for the support!

[Redregon]

15-20 mins so far... heavy use of the Move, Clay and Inflate tool

[MonteCristo]

Along the same lines are extinct animals viable?
Yeah sure. Why not? :)

[arneoog]

Well.. I am kinda surprised myself..
This is my very first actual sculpt I have made in Zbrush, or any sculpting program.. o_O'
Ah well, hope you like it :)

2 hours in Zbrush, it's a man pig ^^

[grassetti]

great entries! nice to see a lot of people get in the fun.

I start to work in a Rhinoman :)

Almost 35 minutes from the basemesh.
I have a question. Can i add edges in the model!?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/gra3d/modeling_10min.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/gra3d/modeling_35min.jpg

Having fun with this one.

Take care all.

[NeoGeo]

ohw damn again very nice entries i think i'm behind

[funkdelic]

really? Alex Oliver and Grassetti here, damn we´re all going down =P
nice entries everybody!

Welcome aboard mate. Hey what shader is that? I really like it. Can I have it too. LOL!

Edit : As to the shader question. Nope mate sorry. We stick to the basemesh given. Thanks.

Welcome aboard to all the newcomers the more the merrier! :D :Dance:

[kazmamurat]

grassetti, it's looking excellent for 35 min. really liked your entry.

here is my entry, catman, 1 hours and 20 min. now, i'll continue later,

[graphicmate]

Very Inspiring Sathe, really like your version :lurve:

[neolith]

Hey what shader is that? I really like it.

Me wants it too!

[Teyon]

Awesome

[Aleks]

Holy moly another Brazilian pro! Welcome,Rafael! :)


Thanks Aleks.. those damn cat's are ugly! :)

hehe they sure are! =D


Man this challenge is crazy good!

[Teyon]

I have a question. Can i add edges in the model!?


Nope. :)

And too the guy thats doing a rabbit - dang you sir thats such a nice idea :)

thanks for the idea sir

i am posting a wip please do comment
made in z brush somewhere arnd 20 minutes

body needs more wrk so ill only proceed when u guys show me a green flag

[Redregon]

now at the 50-60 minute mark... using flatten and clay primarily now. total 750,000 polys.

[freesupra]

oh man the big leaguers are coming in, gotta pick up my game
oliver1 - be interesting to see what comes of your start
sathe - looks neat man. good job
bgen - really like the face
jharford - hehe reminds me of Dr. evils cat if it was mutated into a woman. looks good :)
grasseti - nice bulkyness your rhinomans got going on, be interesting to see what you have in store for next update
kazmamurat - like the forms you got starting there. keep going man

keep the updates coming everyone :) great to see another big turnout already

[blanktarget]

I can't wait to get home and try out doing this! I just started zbrush not too long ago and this will be a great way to try out what I've learned.

[funkdelic]

kazmamurat: Damn man, my favorite so far! nice anatomy flow

[Daye]

LOL

You all scare me !

You all can visualize and put into practice in a matter of hours what would take me . .
well. . . . with an infinite amount of time available to me I couldn't even hope to create
something along these lines.

It's more fun to watch the thread grow and watch the progress than it is to try and
fight with Z-Brush for a few hours. :) After all, if I can't pre-visualize it, there is no
way it's ever going to become a final piece. Think I'm more of a CAD type of modeler.

I'm guessing it's why I work in IT instead of an artist related field :D

Hats off to all of you who can create such works in a short amount of time. While I
can't possibly hope to compete here, you all are definitely an inspiration to those of
us who lack the skills needed to create such art.

[Iron Boot]

So i gave it another go. Heres Lizardman again. Hope you like this one.:haha:
This one is 4 hours I guess, Took breaks and stuff.

[CapnMorgan]

here is my lizard man from side and back after 4 hours i was about to start texturing when i rann out of time :-(

this was def fun though :-P

[Siege]

Don't stop there CapnMorgan, start from scratch again. Now you know the direction you want to go in...you will get there much quicker and have time for the texturing.

[Redregon]

no progress since last update, but for those that are new to ZBrush, i've found a great link in ZBrushCentral with loads of video tutorials (needs Veoh TV though, but it's not a bad program...)

http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=53087

i will admit, it's a lot easier to jump in with a bg in sculpting and a strong sense of anatomy (though mine's certainly in need of improvement imo.) but just knowing what does what and where to use it can really REALLY help speed things up. (and yes, i'm falling in love with the damn program ;) )

[JHarford]

Iron Boot: That's pretty cool., but certainly looks more like metal, like samuri outfit. Rather than the hard scales of a reptilian.

Redregon: Good link.. those tuts should help anyone out getting started

Alex : Can't wait to see that beast ;) It's been over 4 hours now :P

kaz : another cool sculpt.

[omnicypher]

alot of nice entrys so far, keep up the good work everyone!

someone should make a plugin for zbrush that allows morph targets to flow from one side to the other in any direction you choose, instead of changing everything all at once. the result in my mind is similar to teyons monkey man sculpt, were one side transforms first.

[Teyon]

That sure would've made things a bit easier and opened up some options as to how the transition would look. Ah well, maybe some wise person will develop a moph wipe or something.

[Vitor]

Damn some fast dudes playing here. Going to be a though one. And great competition idea btw

And just realized there was a rhino already, hope there isn't any problem doing another one... at least we are going different ways.

This is my 30 min. Still a lot to define...

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/2852/01rc7.jpg

[cojoMan]

you have a morph brush, don;t you ?
use it.

you can start from a human mesh, get an animal out of it and then with a bog falloff, transition it...

[cojoMan]

1h40 into it

[oliver1]

freesupra-thank you!

JHarford-thank you

grassetti-really great Rafa!

funkdelic-thank you!!

kazmamurat-great model!

freesupra -thank you!


here's more 30 minutes, i will work more tomorrow
thanks

use it.

Hmm...never used it before. One of these days I'll have to give that a try.

[Teyon]

Awesome Alex!

[aby arty]

hye guys this is my second try

but i forgot to note down the exact time .

it is somewhere between 40m to 60minute thats for sure.

guys please comment this time

[Freespace-3DT]

Awesome Pigman, Alex! Maybe some pig warts would be appropriate.

aby arty: What animal is that? I think you need to better define his shape, so that we can recognize what it is, to a degree. Also remember to respect anatomical laws, otherwise your sculpt will become pudding.

[grassetti]

Thanks a lot guys, all models are going great!

Nice update alex. Ill wait to see it finished :smug:

Im using a variation of the MatCap_Grey. I will post it somewhere and i post here at the forum. Anyone who want it just send an email for me and i share it.
(rafagrassetti@gmail.com)

Spent more 30 minutes in the model. Im at work and dont have so much time to work on it. Updates soon.

Thanks.

[Crab People]

Half Man, Half Bear, Half Pig!

Here is my inspiration, references and early bit of sculpting, about half way in on time :) I will be adding quite a bit of asymmetry towards the end. I also will probably try to work more human features back into him...

[blanktarget]

Haha, crab people, that's what I was thinking too when I saw this contest you beat me to it! Its ok I have some other ideas ;)

[Steamtrooper]

Its looking realy great Crab People, but I think Chimera arent allowed, I think theres a post about combined animals somewhere early on in thread, I could be wrong though so ADMIN??. Besides 3 halves make 1.5

[Freespace-3DT]

Somebody please do a French Poodle - Man !! :D

[RoboPencil]

Wish this started on the weekend, since I don't have ZBrush on the computer I'm using right now. Not that I won't be able to find four hours at the end of the week to work on it, because I will. But seeing all these fantastic entries really makes me want to get started.

Out of curiosity, does the four hours need to be spent all in one go, or can you start sculpting, save and go eat dinner, and then come back and finish things off? All assuming you keep accurate note of how much time you've spent sculpting the mesh, of course.

[Freespace-3DT]

Out of curiosity, does the four hours need to be spent all in one go, or can you start sculpting, save and go eat dinner, and then come back and finish things off? All assuming you keep accurate note of how much time you've spent sculpting the mesh, of course.

You can, of course, take breaks. You can sculpt 2 hours today, go on holiday for 3 days, and come back to sculpt the other 2 hours.

[Steamtrooper]

Bah! Freespace beat me to it, any answer on that combined animals thing yet?

[MonteCristo]

Its looking realy great Crab People, but I think Chimera arent allowed, I think theres a post about combined animals somewhere early on in thread, I could be wrong though so ADMIN??. Besides 3 halves make 1.5

Ya, this is true. The idea was one animal and one human, but currently, CrabPeople yours looks like a man + Boar. Not seeing much bear in there so this is ok right now. :) I would have thought with a name like yours, you'd be going for... well a cr... oh nevermind. :o

[chrisskinner]

Hi this is my first post, great idea for a competition! My manimal is kind of a cross between a walrus with a bit of warthog thrown in. Up to an hour and a half at the mo. Theres some great work being posted with this comps.

[Teyon]

Lol. Monte, I had the same thought.

Great job everyone keep it up. I'm getting off work in an hour so I'll be back on this soon! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA....ha.

[MonteCristo]

Oh crap. another Chimera...

You know what? The purpose of this comp is for everyone to feel free and have fun. So I'm going to allow multiple animals. :)

Is is me, or did that sound kind of perverted somehow?

[Rych]

Holy Crap this sculpting Challenge blew up!!

grassetti - Wow that looks fresh as hell, but looks more Rino than man though!

oliver1 - Scary half way there man - Love the pig snout though looking great!

omnicypher - I like him and the amor your starting to throw on him!

bgen - Nice model man the mane is gonna look sweet!

freesupra - I think he looks more camel than anything

graphicmate - That bird is looking good

Teyon, Ha that is awesome would love to actuall see more pain in him though like it is ripping him apart!

Sathe - That bird man is freaking awesome!

JHarford - Oh man I can almost feel the wrinkly skin man ew....

kazmamurat - Looks like I got competition in cat world!

Iron Boot - It looks good the transition on it from beginning to where you are is really good, I like that you are putting thought into where the scales are going now!!

Crab People - you know what someone had to go there with the man bear pig!!

Well I thought I would go for a Panther Man, kinda basic I know but Hope you all like

[Teyon]

Cool Start buddy. Yeah, there's only so much you can do without the arms to help express it. Maybe my second attempt tonight will be closer to the mark? We'll see.

Oh...and don't think you're off the hook. Ooklah will be making his return fairly soon.

[Rych]

LoL I was wondering about that! I am pretty much done with my model some refinements and texturing and I am done, better get a move on!

[biano3d]

Another catman, this one look´s like a Nosferatu. Use 1:45m until now.Think in a Goat-Man too.

Kasmamurat:Nice catman, a clean sculpty.
Oliver: Awesome man, scarry!(you rule)
Grasseti:Again, great work.

[Crab People]

Hey Monte - Sorry if I got a little off track. I just thought that would be the most fun :) Hope I didn't start something :haha:

Thanks for editing the rules a bit :dance: !

[MonteCristo]

Hey Monte - Sorry if I got a little off track. I just thought that would be the most fun :) Hope I didn't start something :haha:

Thanks for editing the rules a bit :dance: !

No probs man! Like I said before, just keep on havin' fun :D

[Steamtrooper]

Tee Hee!, you finally cracked.

And maybe its just you Monte, a bit of a dirty mind me thinks.

Manimal overloading in fit of indicision, this could get messy fast.

[Aleks]

It's all quite simple.I found a picture of an anteater (aardvark) and decided to make a sculpt using that little guy as a ref.I wanted to make something more realistic at first but went with a cartoony style instead. Oh and I was actually recording my sculpting session,but the recording program closed for some reason after one hour...

Anyway,modeling as usually in Mudbox,refining and detailing (hair,shirt) in ZBrush. 3 hours 52 minutes.I might spend the rest of the time on making a tangue.Don't think it will be possible,though...


Keep those sculpts coming,guys!

[MonteCristo]

LOL! Loving the entries so far guys and gals. Wish I could comment on 'em all - but it's late. Aleks, the aardvark is inspired!

So here's my first guy... Got about half an hour left, but I'll probably leave him here and move on to the next one... :dance:

[omnicypher]

aleks: your ardvark has a cool style to it, plus its base reminds me that if we win, this will be printed in 3d, so structural stability and balance may be a factor

montecristo: the sharks head and his clothing wrinkles look great, but it gets too low res to print text on the tshirt, unless you crank up the subdivisions another level or 2

[55joe]

wow there are some amazing entries....i wont win but i will participate for fuN!
here is an hour into mine, its a mole man
http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7599/1hourkb2.jpg

[Clean3d]

20 minutes left to work on the ape-man...

[Clean3d]

And done.

[lampshadehead]

Alrighty, this one is done. About 3 hours on the Man turned Rat!
ZBrush 3

[AutopsySoldier]

Ok here's my progress, i really wanted to join last one but didn't have time. Well heres about 1:20 to 1:30 into it I forgot what time I started -shrugs-. I didnt want to copy any one here so I thought hard about what animal to do...and had this ****ing mosquito flying around my monitor...then thought a flie would be cool...not really a mosquito...but close enough...anyways, please help!! lol not much of a sculptor so please crit away.

[AndrewQ]

Does it have to be a real animal, or can it be mythical, etc?

[tntang]

First time posting, figured I'd jump on this one, and get me away from GTA IV :crazy:

2 hours 15 min in.

[M_Cederstrom]

Well, Just going to say Bad *** entry so far from every one. Here is my first for this challenge. :D

Later,:)

Time: 3:15
Manimal: Half-female/half-rabbit
Name: The White Rabbit Queen

[Freespace-3DT]

Does it have to be a real animal, or can it be mythical, etc?

Mythical works fine, if that's what you want.

[kazmamurat]

Sathe, MonteCristo and Aleks, great models, very clean sculptures and i really like your imagination,

especially it s a funny sentence "i m fat because i eat, i eat because i m fat", peheh,

grasetti, i m waiting to see your model's final version in great interest, very nice and clean workflow.

jhartford, really great model,

rych, biano, welcome catmans.

[aby arty]

@freespace 3dt: oh well i tried to portray an ongoing middle stage of a dragon transformation.

ill sure try to make it more recognizable

and could u be precise about the anatomical laws

[neolith]

The bar has been raised even higher with this comp,this is really amazing!
Montecristo:I really love the way you're always being original,no matter what the subject is :lurve: I never know what to expect from you,i only know it's gonna be awesome :)
Kazmamurat:You're doing an amazing job on this,as you did on the first competition.Cant wait to see the finished result.
grasetti:That's one of my favorite entryes,i guess i have a soft spot for rhyno-headed men :D
Aleks and Sathe:Well,there is no surprise here,your stuff is awesome,as usual :)
Great job,everyone else,hope i'll find time to do something too,although i'll be put to shame by all these entries :)

[Nocturn8]

oliver1: incredible.
grassetti: that rhino's rocking!
Aleks-3DT: awesome concept and rock solid sculpting.
MonteCristo-3DT: man,:drool: I really love this shark dude.
tntang: same here, no gta iv for now...the sculptures looking sweet dude.
M_Cederstrom: i love the rabbit idea, reminds me of one my favorite characters from ****** roar.

truly amazing entries from amazing artists here(boy, who would'nt love this forum):drool: someday, i'm dreaming of becoming like you guys.

oh well, i think this will be my final. 2 hours total. Hope you guys like it.

[DaddyDoom]

Nocturn8, nice zbrush improvement going dude!

All the others, amazing pieces!!!

[Freespace-3DT]

@freespace 3dt: oh well i tried to portray an ongoing middle stage of a dragon transformation.

ill sure try to make it more recognizable

and could u be precise about the anatomical laws

I meant keep in mind that there has to be a bone structure under the skin, and on top of that muscle fibers, which influence how the surface will look and behave. You could search for some nice references on Wikipedia, and keep those nearby while sculpting, it helps a lot. Good luck.

[bgen]

I tweaked his mane and added some fine detail.
I will do 1 or 2 sculpts more this week. At least when i get the time to do so.
Well here is my Final of The Half Lion Half Man Garon.

[Redne]

my entry:

[Sathe]

Zbrush Never ceases to amaze me how messed up a basemesh can be but look totally clean in the High Poly, its looking great guys, I will do another tonight :)

its getting hard to think of Original ideas now :D

[Wveird]

Aleks and Monte love ur stuff, ant eater is pretty interesting idea.
M_Cederstrom - yours is quite cool, somehwat scary, rabbit woman nice.

Ill also join this one, im going fish themed. About 20 mins in.

[Aleks]

****! :grr: My computer broke down for like fifth time today! I have now three ATI x1650 Pro video cards and two Radeon 9800 Pro lying around here, all dead.I've received a brand new card today and as soon as I turned the comp on,it died... And I wanted to make another sculpt so much :(
Oh well,guess I'll be just enjoying the show.
I might us my laptop,though...:zzz:...

Anyway,good work,people :)

[DaddyDoom]

That's just a lame excuse for being all reclusive playing GTA IV Aleks :D

[kazmamurat]

this challenge is going mad, lot of very good works,

bgen, lion's face is looking good,

another 50 minutes of work, 2 hours and 10 minutes totally. I want to start little detailing but I'm in need of some spare time.

[Marv]

Awesome work everyone!
Here's my Manimal. It's supposed to be a ratman or mouseman. 2 hrs in and I'm taking a break.

Crits always welcome!

[M_Cederstrom]

So many; So cool. I'm going to try another one, I'm thinking a Frog Man, later.:D

Nocturn8 - Dude those horn are Kick *** man.

Monte Cristo - That so funny, love the model.

Wveird - I'm like the fish theme Idea, i like where this is going.

Teyon - I think you capture the transformation really well.

Freespura - Love the camel concept.

Jaharford - Kiss *** cat woman.

Grassethin - loving the rhino concept.

Here is my WIP piggy... after 2 hours. Trying to create an obese lil pig boy. Didn't realize that so many peeps were doing pig men. I think I might have to create another entry.

Some really really awesome entries here...

[freesupra]

wow theres been some great updates today. nice work everyone
had a busy day with dealing with family so didnt get to start anything till now
heres new one 25mins so far, very rough still i know but im liking this one more so up levels here i come :D
MANTISMAN

[JHarford]

Great, I was waiting to see a mantis!, Good job so far....
Another pigman.. phew... where else would we see so many fantastic sculpts? This is definately the best event to happen on a forum for a LONG time!. Fantastic work 3dt.

[Teyon]

That's an insect, not an animal though. I hope they don't give you a hard time about it. It looks great either way.

[M_Cederstrom]

Guhhh - Nice Seal man, loving it. :D
Rych - Man that head looking good dude. :)
Jharford - That has to be my fav right now. :drool:
Freesupra - Man can't wait to see how that turn out. :)

[MonteCristo]

That's an insect, not an animal though. I hope they don't give you a hard time about it. It looks great either way.

Yeah, they'd better not give him hard time. :grr: Jerks.

[Redne]

update. That hat will go of:

[freesupra]

oh damn, ahhwell either way practice is practice and im having fun making it so thats all that matters to me.
redne - looks cool. but the nose looks a little stiff as do the ears

[Crab People]

Some really cool sculpts so far, going to be a close competition!

freesupra - Mantis is an awesome idea! The Camel guy was looking good too! Tough one to call, but no one is doing insects, so I say stick with the Mantis!
Monte - Your shark guy has a lot of character, looks really sharp! I like the double back fin action, kinda reminds me of Sonic the.... - wait a minute.... That would rock, somebody do a hedgehog guy!
oliver1 I like this one a lot! Has a cool Harvey Dent (Two Face) thing going!
guhhh Also very cool idea! There is going to be one epic battle at the end of this thing! Land, Air, and Sea - nothing is safe!
grassetti Rinoman is sick! Some top notch sculpting!
Sathe Birdman looks great! Could easily fit into the He-Man universe.
kazmamurat You always rock, I don't know how you get skin to look so awesome!

I know there are more I haven't mentioned - but I gotta get back to work. Good job everyone!

[MonteCristo]

oh damn, ahhwell either way practice is practice and im having fun making it so thats all that matters to me.
redne - looks cool. but the nose looks a little stiff as do the ears

Hang on... you don't get it. I don't care if you do insects. Again, this is about having fun, not being jerks. :)

[silvaticus]

My first attempt, he is the beluga man. Maybe he`ll become some other sort of whale dude with less clean and smooth skin. An hour and 20 minutes so far.

[Innos]

W.I.P version of my model for this contest. 2 hours 30 minutes.

I'm gonna change clothes :P

[funkdelic]

Wow, really cool models guys, and so fast =]
Kazmamurat still my fav hehe...
I´ll try to do something

[Wveird]

Here's my strange hybrid. About 3hrs.

115341

[Redregon]

about 3.5 hours. going to call this one finished as i think i'm coming up against the limitations of my computer and my knowledge. was aiming for a cougar kinda thing :P

still, fun competion!

[bgen]

Well i tried another one today :P
Her turned more a superhero than anything....... less beiing on topic... :crazy:

well here it goes anyway.

[Steamtrooper]

Oh dear Teyon!, another person that thinks mammals are the only animals - the animal kingdom is a little broader than that im afraid to inform you, like anything that isnt mineral or vegetable prety much classifies, well at least its a good starting point. Seems to be a common mistake these days, what do they teach people in school I wonder.

Here you go Innos - someone for you to race :)

115350

2hr 40 min, but aborted as I spent too long making him turtly and now Id just have to make him manny again.

Im opting for a cute little kitten girl ala the Faun in Nightbreed.

[Marv]

A quick update. Got 30 minutes left. Starting to look more like an ape instead of a rat.

[DaddyDoom]

Anyone for a PlatypusMan? Or a AyeAyeMan? Or a WombatMan? Or a ElephantPenisMan?

Just ideas...

DD

[kazmamurat]

my catman's final version, 3 hours and 40 min (maybe +5 -5)

if i have sometime, i want to make another sculpt, funny challenge.

[Steamtrooper]

Marv - moves the eyes to the sides, it seems to be the forward looking predator eyes that are throwing his look off, rats are beady bulging raisins off to the sides.

kazmamurat - now hes realy nice, not sure hes got the cat thing exactly but he make a great wampire from the 'Necroscope' books.

[Adroit.jrk]

kazmamurat realy nice sculpting. very good keep it on. best of luck.

[Teyon]

Hang on... you don't get it. I don't care if you do insects. Again, this is about having fun, not being jerks. :)

I got it. I thought it was funny. Do I win now? lol.

Well, I threw this together - 1 hour 18 minutes (+25 more looking up a ref).

Not really thrilled with it but...whatever. I'll do better next time. Keep 'em comin' everyone!

[bgen]

i should learn law - but 3d is more fun :)
10 min in froggyman !!

[bgen]

kazmamurat - holy cat - that's a really beautifull sculpt, superb mastery there of.
i am now offically a big fan of ure Artworks congratz !!

[kazmamurat]

steamtrooper, you re right about the cat thing, i m not very happy about that, thanks,

adroit.jrk and bgen, thank you.

[bgen]

well i am in 23 min. now i will live it for today, when i get the time i will pick itup tomorrow or friday. awsome challange. sooo much to learn hear just by looking @ the pr0s sculpting.

[Yvansteiner]

Hi, great work everyone.
I hope to increase my skill at this level, this is mine , The deceitful SnakeMan.
About 30 min of work.

[aby arty]

@kazmamurat:sir no doubt its a masterpiece but i agree with steamtrooper sir , it lacks
hair , pores on the skin and whiskers.
try refering to thunder cats images.

i dont think u will even need the left 20 minutes for this thats a huge time for someone like you.

and yes thanks for the inspiration and providing me something to look up to.

[chrisskinner]

Kazmamurat - Great sculpt, some really nice detail going on there. What material are you using?

[Vitor]

You guys almost let me doubt of my biology classes, aren't insects part of arthropods, which happens to be the biggest group among animals? haha

[pixote_Mushi]

Hi guys my name is Pixote. here is my entry, Goadman
1 hours of work.
Thanks

[Teyon]

You guys almost let me doubt of my biology classes, aren't insects part of arthropods, which happens to be the biggest group among animals? haha

Made ya look. :)

Guess I should've double checked but any way you color it, they can make it into the challenge so no worries.

[Marv]

I'm out of time. Here's what I ended up with. It's a rat man, but not just any type of rat; a lab-rat, you know the hairless ones they grow the ears on. Couldn't find the time to finish the back.

Awesomeness from each and everone.

[Avatar-3DT]

Awsome entries. I'll see if I can squeez two hours to get me some of this fun myself :D

[mike_k]

This comp rocks!! I'm totally getting in on this!

[Aleks]

Hehe about the whole animal thing :D Insects,birds,fish,reptiles etc etc are all subgroups of the kingdom "animals".
There are two main groups - plants and animals...It's as simple as that.


But let's concentrate on the challenge and not some biology stuff. I'm sure all of us had plenty of that at school :haha:

[BiG ToE-3DT]

can I make a request? I would like to see a female anything, thank you.

[JHarford]

See my sphinx-girl big-toe

so what your saying is that I just missed everything, or that we need more breasts in this thread.

Hey guys, great works all!! A lot of people join it.

I spent more about 2 hours working on it almost done. Im thinking of doing a shirt and finishing the details.
Time is almost ending.

JHarford: Great tiger, he look like a traveller! I see him in the middle of a desert plains.
Grasseti: No comment, just asthonishing!

I'm far away behind you all. But i'm here to learn, and your entries gives me envy.

a little search about snake and 30min of sculpting.

This time Horse-Man :)

I figured I might as well give this a rag

this is an hour or so into Tarseir man

this is a tarseir

[cojoMan]

a bit under 3 hours
c&c welcomed...

grassetti: As usually great stuff,Raph :)

otas32: Looks interesting ;)

poopipe: Haha,that's so cool :D I love those little guys! And thanks for posting the name of the animal,I know it only in Russian :dunno: Oh and looks like it's tarsIEr,not tarsEIr.A little typo there :)

cojoMan: Cool stuff man :) Ninja Turtle is probably the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear "Manimal" ;)

[Computer Kid]

This is 38 minutes in. I've never really used the sculpt function on Blender, but this isn't quite as hard as i thought it would be.
Anyways, I don't really know where to go from here. I guess I need to start adding details.
Oh yeah, and it's a rat.

[Avatar-3DT]

30 minutes so far in zbrush and here is my Giraffe Woman so far. I haven't added the eyes yet but I intend to. If any of you guy can point me to a quick bone posturing tutorial I would thank you. I'm a real novice to zbrush and I work mostly for the fun of it.

[MonteCristo]

That's a very cool idea Avatar.

trying to give him a "owl man monk priest" look
what do you guys think ?

1 hr working on it

[Daye]

I dropped by the Z-Brush forums earlier today and may have mentioned
the current competition going on :)

Hopefully we'll see a few new members join in the fun.

[blanktarget]

Hey guys. I have been using zbrush for a very short time but I really like the idea of this challenge. I'm having a hard time with my idea though and was hoping I could maybe get some help :)

Right I'm trying to make a squid man. The hardest part is making these tentacles come off his face. They look really pixalated and bad compared to the hi res of the rest of the model, which I know isn't that great yet either. I'm thinkin I'll have to start over. Help me out :)

SQUIDMAN (http://www.20hitcombo.com/WIP/squidman.jpg)

[grassetti]

Hey rafa, nice model man!

I spent more time working in the model i dont think i will work more on it because i dont have more time hehe.

Here it is, im kind of satisfied with the final result. I make some preview images with 2 kind of materials in zbrush.

Hope you all like it. I will be watching all the other models.

JHarford: Already discussed it... :D Loving the model.

Oh! I thought edge loops where allowed for sculpting! I thought it was a natural process of deformation of the basic mesh. Sorry 'bout that, as I understood it, it was only sub-objects that posed a problem.

I'll restart my sculpt then (didn't save a version without the edge loop :(
It was only 10 mins after all hehe. And besides, it's very likely, like a lot of other people who are in this speed sculpt comp, that I'll do several manimals before choosing the final one ;)

[otas32]

JHarford, loving it man! Specially the slash on his right cheek, tells a whole story :)

Grassetti, stunning work man!

[Porkpie Samurai]

Really impressed by the entrys so far. Very cool speed sculpt comp.
So I chose the obvious route and started working on this werewolf. About 2 hours 40mins so far.
Like some crits or suggestions.

Well, I'm now at 95 minutes. There's not much more that I can do for this model, but I've learned a lot about sculpting, at least. Next time, I'll have to find some reference images so that I can pay closer attention to proper anatomy.
Everybody elses models look fantastic, especially grassetti's. I don't know how you guys do it, but you're doing an excellent job.

So "nehumanuscrede" posted about this in the zcentral forum where i normally lurk. Last week i got the awesome Animal Anatomy for Artists by Goldfinger book, and so that Giraffe is foremost in my mind, whats funny is so far i've not looked at reference, but i've taken a break after this 55min session and will now do so, i'm already finding it hard to decide what characteristics from both species to keep.
I know it needs lots of work, but i still have 3 hrs to do that :) C&C welcome

grassetti that rhino is so boss!!! I'd love to see that thing printed out!

heres my almost 4 hours, its a muntjac/woman. used natalie portman and a muntjac as reference, I really wanted to have the feel of fur, but had no clue where to begin, I'll fiddle around with that some other time. mainly mudbox, then zbrush.

Welcome aboard Spaceboy. I really like this one. A LOT. The pose is nice and it's clever how you managed to keep her looking giraffe-like, yet have managed to keep her feminine. I would say the balance is more or less spot on right now.

Vongn I'm in love with your sculpt. :D
