Butterfly Final

This is the last time for awhile that i'm going to be working on the butterfly, starting to resent the project, sculpted it to be less symmetrical and more beaten-up. That's where i'm going to leave it.  Been receiving a lot of helpful advice from people, but in the end, it also takes skill to know when to stop a project.

I'll be moving on to the interior from tomorrow.

Inserted the two versions (Shiny and what i've dubbed post apocalyptic.)

Troubleshooting

Good evening,

Up late working, resculpting the butterfly / dragonfly hybrid ornament, had some difficulties that made me have to come back and do it again, so this is a word to the wise, so no one makes the same noob mistake.

Within Zbrush I was working and imported my mesh, by a combination of accident / habit and sucky tutorial videos I pressed Make polymesh 3d, which so far as I have been able to deduce, destroys any pre-made UVS, so that meant that my work in headus was all for naught, and it turned my mesh into something horrible that yous aw in the previous wips, so here's a quick update of progress, the first is my uvs that I created, nothing fancy, second is the destroyed uvs and the planar tiling from when I tried to save it, and the third is just a screenie of what it looks like at the moment.

Greetings once more.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

I'm back in the new year, and I hope you had a chance to rest during the festive period.

I've been going along with illustrating with pen, a fun but at the same time terrifying change as I can't erase anything, ah well, it's fun nonetheless.

I haven't admittedly modelled anything in 3d for quite some time. Buuuut there are some fun fun things underway, and I'm going back to a project I never had the skill to finish.

Sadly though, nothing may appear for a while in 3D... but I have a very muggy, dark and blurred photo of illustrations in so far, preparing for the modelling stage, trying to get a solid design down, focusing on form rather than details, A very close friend of mine who is a brilliant illustrator gladly allowed me to bounce ideas off of him, and so began a back and forth design between us and we're on to something here.

For those who know me personally (Aka Learn3d) The illustrations may seem familiar, and bordering on unhealthy obsession.

The scene itself is to be an animation the storyboard is underway but if time becomes to short I may settle for a still shot, and it will definitely take some time to put together, it is an old scene that I as I mentioned I never had the skill to finish, (Actually I didn't have the ability to start it in all honesty.), Short said it's to be extremely detailed in regards to the interior and the butterfly.

I hope that if you find this interesting that you will drop by from time to time, and thanks for sticking around for the past year, let's have a good start to this one.

Regards

Francis

Signing off

Hello there.

Just wanted to drop by and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a great New Year, I'm not going to be developing much over the holiday, actually going to have some fun, play some games, sketch with a pen (something I was definitely too afraid to do in the past) and perhaps set modelling aside for just a bit.

Have a great time, and I'll see you sometime in the new year.

Regards

Francis

w/o butterfly

here's a render of the scene without the butterfly, currently going through a major redesign, sketching out designs for a solid silhouette.  Hope ya like it.
