Sculpts Based on the Sketches

I took a  few of this sketches forward into ZBrush and made them, or part of them , into sculpts.

I also experimented with a few new ideas.

The Sculpt of the "Chicken Man" Sketch that i posted earlier, the head was really interesting and challenging to sculpt. I tried to maintain a link between the upper lip and the eyebrows of the faces, so that they blended seamlessly into one another while still maintaining the expressions. 

I also took what i learned in the human head cult and kept the face slightly asymmetrical.

The body was hard to sculpt and keep the humanity coming through and the legs ended up a bit  squat      for what i was envisioning.

I coloured the body using more greens than i would put into a normal skin tone to try to make it appear sickly or diseased.

This was an experiment in sculpting hands similar to "The Flute" by Zdisłaf Beksiński, it was very difficult to keep the definition between the fingers and the idea of getting gaps in-between them fills me with dread. I may practice by trying to sculpt the flute player or perhaps another of his paintings.

Experimenting with dramatic lighting.

With the idea that this creature was meant to crawl across the floor i tried to make the skin look heavy and thick, almost leather like. I also took the wrinkled appearance a step further than the sketches, adding more layers and grooves to the skin. 

This was another piece experimenting with multiplied anatomy, a man trapped and moulded into his chair, the hands and feet writhing into multiple copies. It was fun to sculpt, especially the hands but i feel with the focus points being so far apart there is almost no composition that i could show the whole model in an interesting way.
