AnimSchool Fantasy Character WIP - Patrick Evrard

after a while of sculpting I like to render it out already, i don't care too much about topology so it usually are decimated meshes. Usually this helps me to rest from sculpting in zbrush and it will allow me to quickly test some overpaints in Photoshop

or just a quick screengrab in zbrush 

Hello Patrick - Is this your concept?

Could you please post the earlier stages of your work?

Thank you 😀

@jessedraper well no this not the original concept,  this is the zbrush sculpt I rendered out in Maya with polypaint to test further ideas
its already a few hours in the project
I am not that good in creating a concept on paper as it usually are more different doodles intersecting,
these were the original ideas from top to bottom some ideas were already implemented some didn't work...as u can see it is a bit all over the place 

Thank you Patrick for posting your concept art.

Do you have any screenshots from the earlier stages of your Zbrush sculpt?

this is the first file I still have...

@jessedraper is this ok?

Hello Patrick,

As part of the contest, we want all participants to start their 3D models from scratch and not from pre-made meshes. We are not implying that you didn't make this from scratch. However, we are asking everyone to post every stage of the process, including from the very beginning and what you have posted up to this point is fairly far along in the process. 

You can find the official rules on how to qualify your entry here

Hey Jesse,

I understand what you are saying. 
I am pretty fast in zbrush and a bit reluctant to post my first attempts as over the years I quit so many challenges.
This being said,

I understand the rules are the rules,

Good luck everyone 🙂 

Do you still have your first save, or something older in the quicksaves folder? You can always load up one of those, then page back on your undo history to show the full progress. On the other hand, you still have lots of time before the deadline, you can always start up something new since you work fast. No reason to bail out, and as long as you treat everything like it's a contest piece, it'll be great for your portfolio.
