Cannon Zbrush Bpr

Wood is hard

Zbrush Cannon Barrel

Zbrush progress for the canon part of the canon. I imagine that it's been sitting underwater for a long time

Drew Struzan Composition

For layout type, you could really make an argument for Circular, Triangular or 2/3rd's, but the one it is most similar to is 2/3rds so I'll go with that

Original with grids to help me draw the layout

Suuuper rough sketchy, grid is still visible because i'm still using it

Harder lines so that I can start blocking out with color

Rough value Mapping

Greyscale finished

With color Finished

Drew Struzan Pureref

Drew Struzan Moodboard. It was a close contest between pan's Labyrinth or Dark Tower, but I can't not pick Pan's lbyrinth when given the option

Value Practice

Frank Frazetta Pureref board

Value concentration in Frazetta's illustrations

It's crazy how much more I like his work when it's not just hypersexualized ladies.

Proxy Cannon

And In Unreal Engine

Brian Froud Silhouette Exercise

Original Drawing, visual takeaways: 'minion' type character?, small in size, 

 Collective Silhouettes

Below are larger images of each silhouette, to see them easier

Brian Froud Pure-Ref Board

Brian Froud Pure-ref, I like the little nymphs, gnomes, and goblins more-so than the more realistically proportioned ones, but they're all very nicely done.

30 min Proxy Model

A practice for proxy models, I think its like an ATV? Either way astounding rear-view mirrors.

Syd Mead Shape Recreation

The original piece 

Lines only

Rough scene blocking, just like horizon lines

Rough Shadows

 Here I realized that I made the background mountains even though it was a dome, oops, also some more shadows
