Zergz gots picked

Got a pleasant diwali surprise this morning , the ever awesome fellas at cghub  picked my zerg hydralisk as one of today's editor's choice :)  .Honored and humbled  i yum.

Mitti De DUbba 2011 edition

Oh Well Ive been using Zbrush for around a year now  so much so that im really used to all  its tools and quirks , 

Aaand  for a change of  pace i tried out the Mudbox 2011 trial today (btw they have a 3 month special trial provided during the Warriors Challenge hosted on CgHub   )

Its definitely got a different feel to it while sculpting , (something to do with how the mesh reacts i guess) and So far im liking it , howeverit does  take a while to get used to the simplified interface after getting bombarded with ZBrush 30 something brushes , but its a robust interface and i think ill be playing more with it in the future. 

This was a quick doodle done after breakfast  btw... yeah ..ugly dudes with deformed features....thats my thing...yosh.

Mini Interview and Making of for Zerg Hydralisk

Im Still alive....(couple of quick ones in zbrush )

These 2 were done as quick sketches to take a break from real work ..
Ones from reference and the other ones a doodle slightly inspired by mass effect 2 (awesome game btw ) ..you can probably make out which one's which .
