Z-brush/Sculptris project - monster bird

In an effort to broaden my skill set i will be 3D sculpting something .I always go in and muck around with Z brush  but rarely do i have a target in my head .I though i would try and draw up an idea so i can focus on a an end goal as i work :)

I'm going to Attempt to sculpt this :

Here is the very first sketch i did before light boxing  .Of course its too ambitious right off the bat .I ended up ditching the top hat and watch thing  but if  I succeed at the creature i may add the elements back in .

Here's the rough sketch after removing the extra stuff and also playing with more of a bird style leg(you can only see it faintly in the image ) .Even for a monster it was weird and awkward so i kept the strait leg .

Trail.weekly speed painting

a couple hours . did some quick thumb nailing on paper then scaled and squashed it into what i wanted .

Orbit 2

about an hour . hes embarking on a salvage mission .what will he find ? treasure ? death ? super death treasure?

Speed painting."Marooned"

hour and a half? we started doing themed speed paintings at work and its a total blast!its nice to pull the art cork out of my ass and just try and get an idea across.

 this is another "speed painting " i did last week that was anything but .spent hours and hours and got totally bogged down in noodling.gah.Some little parts of it i am OK with and  I did learn a few things and make some decent brushes  but i think there's alot that got lost in this. oh well on to the next.

last years lost art #3

Go GO Go Goat Warrior !!!

Needle nose dragon

good sketch night last night.Live Irish folk music showed up at Genuine Joes last night witch i was sort of dreading at first but it turned out to be pretty cool.

i was very much channeling how to tame your dragon last night :P

this was done as a little 5x7 sketch trade card with http://virginiacritchfield.blogspot.com/ .she got me into working in this format .i find it freeing enough to do random subjects but also quality enough to keep or paint if i chose to .its been quite a blast .
