@USMCWing556 no I do not but I will be offering the unpainted kits and full produced version of this.

@iswarboruah9014 time. Patience. Dedication. I've been doing this for a very long time, and everyone has a different pace and method of learning, but there is no substitute for time and dedication. You need to be patient and work hard to yield the results you want. Keep looking at other art to be inspired and aim for the sky when it comes to how good you want to be because here is the kicker... you'll never get there. That's sounds crazy but hear me out. You should never get there because you should always aim higher and better than what your current skills are at. Always want and need to be better. Stay hungry and tell yourself you always have room for improvement because it's true. The people that last in this industry are the ones that never give up and have a tenacious work ethic. Constantly challenge yourself to work harder and be a perpetual student of art. Be willing to put in extra time and never be content. More. More knowledge more skill more effort more art. It's not an easy path but once you see the fruits of your effort and your art improve, it's the best feeling to see the results. I hope this helps a little. There is so much that goes into getting better or improving at what we do and I hope you get to where you be. Don't ever give up and learn to love the process. For a long time I hate how my art or characters look in the early stages but I stick with it and trust the process. Give it time and work hard. Good luck, my friend.

@somuch3d thankyou so much for the advice

I will try harder

I also want to know how do you plan your day to be more productive

@iswarboruah9014 that's a great question. It really depends on your schedule and when you have time to focus on your art or improving. I work a normal day job as a lead artist for a studio. So i have to find time to work or practice my art skills on new things either in the morning before work, which means getting up earlier or do it after work. Finding time and trying to balance a work/ life relationship that is beneficial and healthy is something I struggle with. Everyone tells me I work too much. Lol. Depending on what you're focusing on your skills sets, I recommend always looking for reference or studying other people's art. It helps show up trends and ways people are creating. Study new applications or methods of creating art. I'm always watching little tutorials or videos on new tricks or ways of creating art even if I know how to do it. It helps to see how others work and it sometimes adds or gives me new ideas or ways to refine my own pipeline. And practice. You want to be a character artist, practice sculpting and anatomy daily if you can. Create little studies of throw away art that you can experiment with and train your eyes and mind to see the improvements and ways to fix your art. This will help you create a secondary level of knowledge on anatomy which is necessary. Always have reference, always plan and you will start to develop problem solving skills as you run into problems. Learning through repetition and muscle memory. I plan my days out and tell myself everything I'm going to get done and I do it. I keep my schedule manageable and I manage expectations for myself and my clients. Be smart and don't spread yourself too thin and try to do too much. The last thing you want to do is burn yourself out. And have fun! Being creative is a gift and you should always have fun doing it. 🙂

@cmdmeat6579 no, thank you for the kind words and support. Seriously. Any support means a lot.

@daviddaniels9551 i can't thank you enough for the kind words, support and i love that you saw all the details I put into this. Thank you, David. You just made the beginning of my 2025.

@@stuarture4749 ok, literally the best compliment! You have no idea how much it would mean to me to one day work with sideshow. Sigh....one day. Lol.

Thank you!!

@@Kurtsculpts hey! No prob! Hope it helps, my friend.

@MerdaLegal hey! I hope it helps. Everyone has a different process and pipeline, this is the one that works for me.

@jahsonlion absolutely. I wouldn't consider myself a hard surface guy but I have a work flow that works for me

@ChristianRivera-y3p first off, sorry for my delayed reply to your comment/question. Secondly, thank you for the kind words and support. I REALLY appreciate it. As far as something more detailed, no I don't but if you want to cover or go over some specifics in this area, don't hesitate to reach out via IG or ArtStation. I'd be more than happy to help or talk shop. 🙂

@Ismael.03 No, thank you for the support and kind words! I'm really happy to hear that this brief overview helped. The process isn't complicated, but it can take a while. However, the results never disappoint in my opinion. 😀

Hi, first off, thank you for the support and kind words. Second of all, yes you can both. The way I would do it but only wrap certain aspects of the model is mask it off. That way you're only wrapping parts that are not masked.

@@somuch3d Thank you for the info! I have udims on my mesh and it is polygrouped based on uv. I guess hiding polygroups might work like masking. Definitely will give it a try. Just finished the sculpting & UV unwrapping phase, currently looking into texturing step. Wrapping/projecting and procedural generation are two relatively easier methods I have run into.

@@somuch3d lol, I have tested out both masking/hiding methods, and ended up redoing the mapping 3 times on the scanned head. I'm writing feedback here so anyone else run into this situation might skip the headache. We're morphing the scanned head into the shape of our own sculpted character, and therefore, the scanned head cannot have hidden parts. To avoid wrapping unwanted parts such as mouth bag, we need to mask it off, but DO NOT hide it away by polygroup selection. If anything is hidden away, ZWrap can wrap successfully, but the scanned head will not change shape after exiting ZWrap menu. For our own sculpted character, it's safe to hide part of it by polygroup selection, since we're not changing the shape of it. For example, I have a full body character, and I can hide away the body and the mouth bag, only keep the head displayed.

Hello and sorry for the late reply to this comment. I must have missed it. I did merge of the two pieces and a quick retopo in zbrush. Creased the edges and subdivided.

Thank you!

@VisionsGames139 i hear you and appreciate your patience with my uploads. Between work, projects and life, I try to fit in time to make content worth sharing or that I feel could be helpful. Thank you again for the support and kind words.

nevermind found your Twitch channel..thanks brooooooooooo

@@DanielAlva360 thank you so incredibly much for the kind words and supporting my work.

Hi! Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to hear you found it helpful!

Thank you for the kind words and support

Thank you so much for saying that! It's been a couple of years but I'm still really happy with how he came out. Definitely one of my fav projects.

@@somuch3d it just showed up since all the news with Sabretooth in deadpool 3 has been confirmed but man you sir out did yourself. He's my favorite marvel villain

Thank you! LOKI was awesome. Totally inspired me to makes this and capture the moment of Glorious Purpose! Thank you for watching and support.

@@somuch3d I am truly grateful to you. I found you while looking for a zwrap workflow. I think it was a tutorial using zwrap and projection, and it was really realistic. Thank you for sharing your core workflow with others. I still can't use the vface source properly, but I won't give up.

I'm honored to help and equally grateful for the support. If you have artstation or ig, send me a message and perhaps i can help out further or see what issue you're having. Again, thank you for the support. Always a pleasure to share and talk art.

@@somuch3d thank you sir, I just follow your instagram. have a great day

Hello! I'm glad you like her! Thank you for watching and thank you so much for the kind words and support. It really means a lot. 🙏🏼💙

@@somuch3d You are welcome! All the best for future projects

I'll say this, it takes time and a lot of patience to do or learn anything you're passionate about. But It's never too late to starr and there's an infinite amount of resources to learn from. 🙂

Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I'm glad you liked Madelyne Pryor!

Thank you for your comment and question. Yes, easy solution. Mask off the area like the mouth so it's not included in the wrapping process. I forget to do this sometimes as well. 😉

@@somuch3d yeah I've solved thanks, i'm new to zBrush, I moved from Blender recently, zBrush UI make me crazy. Thanks for your answer!

Absolutely. Yes, the zbrush ui can be a bit jarring at first but customization really helps make it your own. Happy zbrushing and thank you again for your support!
