Zbrush - Rock Assignment

Here's the reference for my zbrush rock assignment. I chose stibnite as my "rock." The combination of white limestone-like rock and reflective metallic extrusions made recreating this guy a fun challenge.

The final presentation sheet! The render came out really well and provided a substantial enough base to work on top of. Because I'm using zbrush as a tool for concept design I also incorporated several photoshop trickeries. I first composited the depth and shadow renders. Then I masked in the two different materials types (gun black metal and white tombstone). Finally I blended in some photo textures and painted up the finishing touches for lighting/color.

Inspiration Boards

This is a very small selection of my inspiration collection, but I consider these guys to be some of the most influential on my work. All credit for these goes to Ben Mauro, who was kind enough to put them together and give them out online. You can see the rest of the collection here
