Sculpting David Bowie in 3D - Blender Timelapse Vertex Arcade 2020-02-03 | I saw this concept a while ago and have it saved on my Twitter because I wanted to try and make it 3D. The original concept is by twitter.com/subversivegirl, a lot of the pieces are in this style so if like this one then you'll like the rest of them too!I've never been good at sculpting real people, it's one of those things that takes a long time to master because we see faces every day so if there's anything wrong then it'll look off. The main difference with my method for this one was that I just focused on using reference images and not trying to match my image from a set view until near the end. Most beginners will line up and front and side view of the person and then match them up, but it never looks right, that's why I waited until I had a decent likeness before I matched up the model to the mugshot.

What If Squirtle was designed by Tim Burton? - Blender Timelapse Vertex Arcade 2019-02-12 | So my first video on the second channel is a 3D recreation of this awesome concept art by Hatboy (http://hatboy.tumblr.com/tagged/burtonpkmn). I wanted to try and make it look as 2D as possible by using a hand drawn texture and utilising Blender's freestyle settings to emulate a sketchy outline. It looks like I need to have a play around with my recording settings/output settings because some of the menu text is a bit blurry, but that's something to work on for next time.I'm going to be many more of these in my spare time so if you're interested, go ahead and subscribe!Music:Cosmic Storm by A Himitsu soundcloud.com/a-himitsuMusic promoted by Audio Library youtu.be/U4wXUdhNxZk
