jonathan hoffman maquettes skip to main skip to sidebar sunday august 28 2016 derpy snail so here s my latest a derpy snail thing his body was originally sculpted in cx 50 then cast in resin coated in polymer clay he s pretty translucent although i regret how clear his hands are they re hard to make out against his body the slime trail is resin it ended up about 5 times longer than i originally intended but ah well works pretty well visually posted by jonathan hoffman at 5 27 pm no comments tuesday february 17 2015 the expressions posted by jonathan hoffman at 12 05 am no comments saturday february 14 2015 maldran so this is my first hardcore character figure sculpt in several years i really wanted to sculpt when the figure sculpting ecorche class was still fresh on my mind so this is a character from the most recent draft of my story she s the sniper and pilot for the ship that our main characters sail on during the book although previously she was a pirate working for various and sundry unsavory crews this is also the first test run of some second hand led lights i purchased as a christmas gift for myself so i was definitely going for a steam punk look here i m generally pleased with the figure although looking at it now i m still upset by a few mistakes i clearly made but i still think i m making progress i just wish i had more time in general to sculpt and develop as an artist posted by jonathan hoffman at 11 11 pm 3 comments labels female figure figure sculpture one of a kind polymerclay sculpture sniper steampunk saturday july 5 2014 ecorche so recently i took an ecorche class at pixar taught by alicia ponzio the class was amazing we started by sculpting a full skeleton and then on half the skeleton we built up each of the major muscle groups i ll post pics of this sculpt soon it was an intense class a 3 hour session each wednesday for the last 4 months i worried that i d forget most of it if i didn t practice so i decided to create my own ecorche at home and try doing a female figure instead of male so i set forth creating a polymer clay skeleton and after about a month of trying to do free floating ribs i gave up and did a solid ribcage as you ll see here i also struggled with making mistakes in my initial skeleton the spine didn t arc forward enough the spinus processes processi were far too exaggerated fat cankle bases to her tibias and since polymer clay is a far less forgiving medium i had to compromise a few times in order to finish in reasonable time i did hack in and shave down the cankles to a less egregious state still a bit fat perhaps but the lower leg muscles and ankle details are sadly mushy due to this late game fix she also ended up more muscular than your average female even than the average athletic female this one is a body builder long distance uphill cyclist but i m alright with that it will be useful for future reference to see more exaggerated muscles as an aside this is the first sculpture i have cured using my brand new labcorp oven it s a forced air convection oven that is perfect for polymer clay it bakes at a perfectly even temperature throughout and even tiny extremities don t burn or even discolor after extended baking it s perfect did i mention it s perfection after years of dealing with damaged or ruined sculptures cured in conventional kitchen ovens i am thrilled to know that from now on i have something that won t wreck hours and hours of painstaking work posted by jonathan hoffman at 11 31 am 1 comment wednesday may 7 2014 a long term side project so it s been a long time since i posted anything life has been crazy hard and has kept me from doing too much sculpting some time last year i started working on this 3d project so i could better learn zbrush and maya and it was a rather intense learning process i must say the sculpting in zbrush was fun but very difficult but getting the zbrush work through to final render was harder still by the end i had a nice smooth and predictable pipeline so i was able to iterate again and again and again which was both good and bad she s been mostly done for months now so i decided i should finally wrap it up and post some images i gave up on rendering the 3d particulates and just painted those in but otherwise these images are just what the renders looked like with some color re balancing posted by jonathan

whole process of character creation you can visit my digital painting blog to see the original design posted by jonathan hoffman at 12 44 am 1 comment monday october 18 2010 pele finally after wrestling with different ideas to light this sculpture after attempting a couple of sculpted heads i decided that this project couldn t be done proper justice with sculpii if i used uv light to make it glow i couldn t have gotten the nice rich reds uv light makes reds go pink and if i used internal leds to light it then i d never have gotten an even glow nor could i light delicate things like fingers or arms i d been meaning to learn zbrush anyway so this project provided a great opportunity to do so it s been a major battle taking far longer than a physical sculpture would have taken me and these renders are a product of 6 different software packages zbrush maya modo photoshop painter and uvlayout yowza the renders have very little doctoring in photoshop mostly i used painter and photoshop for creating and applying the textures you see on the model posted by jonathan hoffman at 1 11 am 3 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom links my digital painting blog about me
