Mudbox Final: Goblin 2.0

This is my final project: Goblin 2.0. I started with the basic human body provided in Mudbox. From there I sculpted the face, starting with the ears> I first pulled them out and then pinched them to narrow them at the tip. Next I started on the nose by elongating the original nose and then cutting the bottom to add nostrils. I then started to add clay to make some more defined features.

Next I worked on the body by adding clay to the belly to make him fat. I the elongated the wrists and hand to stretch out the fingers.

Finally, I added his armor by molding the models chest to look like a chest piece and back to look like straps crossing his back.

To add some depth to the character I used a crack texture to give cracks to the body and a fine-grained gravel texture for the chest.

The final process was painting. Anytime I think of a goblin, I think of a dark-green to dark mustard yellow color. For that reason I painted the entire goblin a dark green with some highlights and painted his cracks a dark mustard color. I finally added warpaint to both the face and armor.

Croquis: This set of croquis were actually drawn on the third drawing day. My original idea for croquis was drawing a body follow the curve of the model and then adding the arms, legs, and head. Eventually, I found that drawing the curve of the spine is simpler and achieves the same effect.

Figure Drawing 1: This is my favorite drawing because I feel like it is the best detailed. Once I finished the main drawing, I decided to focus on the upper body itself and attempt to achieve more detail. This was from the week 1 model.

Figure Drawing 2: This was my second favorite drawing, having a little less detail than the first one. This was from week 2 model.

Skeleton: When I was drawing the skeleton, I was attempting to make a more characteristic piece based on my own skills. I did not achieve what I wanted but still enjoy the piece.

Character: I was heavily influenced by the box people art shown in class. I first attempted at making a whole body but later decided on just making a "croquis" style box figure, with pelvis, shoulders, and spine heavily focused.

Drawing of a Friend: This was my out-of-class piece and drew my friend sitting in a chair.

First Mudbox Creation

Here is my first Mudbox creation: a goblin. I started with a sphere and started pulling out the nose and ears. I then cut the indentions for both the nose and ears and smoothed them out. I used the reverse sculpt tool to indent the area for the eyes and then used the grab tool to adjust the eyebrows. I then used the reverse sculpt tool to indent the mouth. I used the grab tool to bring out the chin and point the ears. The bulge tool was used to create the hair. I then smoothed the back of the sphere to flatten the head.
