Sculpting Challenge #2
Subject – Sea Creatures



Thread Naming: Your Name – Sea Creatures
Keep all questions in this thread

So as I was swimming my daily 100 hundred mile warm-up this morning, something I do regularly, something rubbed up against extremely muscular leg. Not being one that is scared of anything, I didn’t think much of it. Then, “it” rubbed up against me again. Seeing as I’m such an attractive specimen of a man, I instantly came to the conclusion that it was one of the many ladies of the world, going way out of their way to cop a feel of my body. Shrugging it off, I continued my swim. Seeing land in the near distance, I get yanked under water. Dragged a good 100 feet underwater in hardly any time at all, “it” lets go. I look around to see what tried to water molest me, but the darkness hides my attacker. I resurface and finish my swim. All the while wondering, “what was that thing?”

DUE DATE: February 19th, 11:59 pm GMT - SUNDAY

Idea:

Create a sea creature. It can be as real as a simple fish or as awesome as a sharktopuss.

Pedestals/Stands:

You do not have to create one, but it would be nice if you did. You can go as crazy as you want, or keep it basic.


Restrictions:

-Joint entries are allowed for this challenge, this means, you can have someone draw a concept for you, but you must do all the sculpting yourself.

-Your entry must be specifically created for this challenge. Do not use any pieces from previous works.

-You will be supplying your own base mesh for the competition, from which you will start sculpting. You can create your base mesh in any application (3dsmax, Maya, XSI, Cinema4D, Zspheres in Zbrush, etc) using any technique. Don’t use any pre-made base meshes, you must build it specifically for this challenge.

-There are no lighting restrictions.

-You must create a W.I.P Thread to show off your work in progress.

Final Pictures:

Required In The Final Post (1 post per entry):

- 1 x Winning shot (render or screen grab). This image should consist of your object depicted in its most awesome angle.

- 1 x Beauty shot of your object (render or screen grab). Feel free to put multiple angles of your object or just one big version or your object on this page. You are free to do whatever post effects you like on this image. Be careful how you do this though, simple is often better. It’s up to you.

- 1 x Construction shot of your base mesh and at least 3 shots (screen grab) of your sculpt as you work from beginning to end. Feel free to put more if you like, it’s up to you.

- Concept Sheet (if you have one)


Good luck everyone!

Want to team with me paulius???? I do concept part (matte) and you do sculpting.

I got some nicez sharktopuss waiting and da organic details are gonna blow.

[paulius-st]

if i'll have time i'd be happy, but if ou would let me do a little overpaint of it cause i have a idea or two that would make this creature more dangerous.

[washka]

Go man, go man.

[paulius-st]
