Jose, nothing's stopping you from popping up a sculpt of your own. This is all in the name of fun and learning. So when you've got a couple of hours, put your favourite music in winamp, and give it a try.

does the 5 hours include any sketches or conceptual stuff?

[DELTATHUND3R]

hi all.
Freespace=ty
Classicgamer=ty
longhi=ty cant wait too see what u think of.
Jose=jump in, grab the bull by the horns.best way to learn..

This time i got into the main Demonicstaff.
Cobra head.I intend on having eyes inside the fans of cobras representing seeing all from a distance.same as on staff.

Okay i have given it a start.
didn't use a concept, all i knew was that i wanted a wooden carved staff...just started clay brushing and went with the flow.
after 20 minutes i knew wich way i was going...a plan formed to put a trinket in the mouth...but it might look like big teeth with a stupid grin.
have some plans for changes as wel....i want it to look a bit sad and will try and drape some vines down the staff for a bit more entertainment.(elemental)
don't think i will use trinkets..hehehe mostly cus i'm lazy...preparing for printing.......all ready done..it's one closed mesh hehehehe (not assuming i will win,,,but so far only 2 participants.
and i do feel we need more wips....common people
so far 1.5 hours spend on zbrush..oh wait heres my wip...

[jomuller11]

well thanks i´ll try to get some free time in the next one and give it a try....

great progress DELTA....you are going fast!

strict, good start, but for me looks like he is laughing....

Hey there mdale13. The five hours include direct sculpting. Any concepts, sketches or reference gathering is not in the five hours given. Good question.

[strict9]

concepting shouldn't be part of the time limit...it's sculpting time limit.
normally i guess you would get a concept and you go sculpting from there.......now you get a description...so now you have to be the concepty as well.....anyway my 2 cents
couldn't help myself,,,crawled back behind the computer:
add 30 minutes to the sculpt please hehehe:

[Freespace-3DT]

I like how the staff's shaping up, strict9. The ram horns are a cool touch. Looks like a nature magic oriented staff, to me.

However, maybe there's more to do with the mouth. It looks a little empty as it is now.

[M_Cederstrom]

well here is mine, magical Dragon Staff.

Delta _ looks great.
Strict9_ coming out nicely.

[Freespace-3DT]

Flamin', Cederstrom!

[mdale13]

hey guys!

this is my first entry in the sculpting challenge! i am very excited to be a part of this!

this is my staff so far. i am going for like a troll-witch doctor type staff (notice the somewhat shortened proportions) it will eventually have shrunken heads or skulls on it or something using the 3 allowable trinkets. so far i have the basic forms of a knarled staff. let me know what you think!

edit: oh yeah and about 45 minutes into the 5 hours

[M_Cederstrom]

thanks Freespace, I had to work quick on it so I can get Back to the concept work for Unearthly Challenge. LOL

[Freespace-3DT]

mdale: I like the area where the troll would hold the staff. Now you just need to give the staff something special, with trinkets. You've got the base done, give it life. Welcome to the challenge.

Cederstrom: The faster you're done, the faster you get to do other things. I want a staff like that for myself, though.
