Fan art Dedicated to Dota Cinema 

My friend Ali AlKhiro was the one who provided the hilarious concept.

Progression as an artist

I graduated out of my course last year

had a lot of confedance but turned out that I still need so much more to reach what I thought I was already there, and than I hit rock buttom.

2014 was a year that I can't and won't forget, the year that I tried everything, drawing nude, drawing erotic stuff, drawing graphical illustration, story boarding for a client, doing game art and again lots and lots of practice, Value study was very helpful but the most helpful was drawing what i see in simple strokes, not caring or being afraid just throwing a line, did it until people thought I was tracing em.

all of these things has came to a result of being a better observer, to be an good artist you need observation, attention to details, which brings a drawing to life, not just small details but details in motion, details in forms and details in values.

this year I progressed, this year I have done so much and hopefully next year, will Triple it...

am thankful for all the ones who helped me from Mr. Danial Mervenne a Client and a friend, his Project Jables Creed has helped alot improving my skill.

My friend Ali Al-khiro with our game project and his demanding request helped me grow and an artist and do my best to listen to detailed feedback and have more attention to details.

and my friend and mentor Mike Parent from Brash monkey who helped me being a better observer ( shout out for their Spriter 1.0 release! woot! )

all of my friends from Hangout Hub Helped me with technical knowledge and inspired me to do more.

last but not least my lovely family :) 

too all young artists out there who feel furstrated with not progressing fast, it takes time, I know by experince, I was there in your position, I know how it feels, but progression will come. :) 

stay healthy, workout, and practice your skills, practice makes perfection.

Thank you all!

Merry Christmas and Happy 2015

Cable, Marvel, Zbrush Sculpt

to retopo!

Rick Tylor Splatter House Finished Model ( Zbrush, Blender )

SO!!!Finally finished Rick's Model, after I finished Retopo in zbrush I took the model to Blender for attaching the pieces ( as  we said before its better to retopo piece by piece ) and UV unwrap as well.

took it back to Zbrush Projected the Details and exported the maps! and thought I was done! but a horrible thing have happened! check here for the Full story Lunch Crunch if you don't want to check, just remember to put the normal map on tangant space and when you save any map, check if its 8 Channels and not 16! okay!?

so! after Solving all the problems Finally finished that Bad ass! still some retouching needed to be done here and there, but I can call this final.

Render testing ( Blender ) Modeling and projection maps ( Zbrush )

so after 5 days of suffering with the technical stuff I finally made it !.

Complete Zbrush workflow 

Sculpting a highpoly model 

Retopo with Zsphere

High poly to Lowpoly Projection

and Maps ( normal, displacement and AO ) generating

all inside Zbrush

Render testing (Blender)

notes:

1-In retopo, breaking the mesh into parts will make things a lot much more easier, if the whole character is a single mesh you will make few mistakes and it will start getting furstrating.

2- retopo as close as possible to the original mesh for more effeciant projection.

3- Save your work damn it! you can Save it as a Ztool and won't face any issues when you get back to work on it, just don't panic when you can't edit it and remember to click on Edit topology to be able to do so.

4- Remember to flip the texture vertically after exporting from Zbrush, I don't know why but Zbrush flips it.

5- Never Give Up, Nothing is impossiburu.

6- Yes Zbrush can do it all now, no need to jump from one software to another.
