Monster Project 2017

[AJ Jefferies]

It's that time of year again! This was my fourth time taking part in the wonderful Monster Project (https://themonsterproject.org) and once again, it was incredible fun!

Here's Reagan's monster drawing:



And my interpretation:



Modelling was, as usual, a mix between Max & Zbrush.

I thought it would also be fun to make a little behind the scenes process video. Nothing too exciting, but I figured it might be interesting for anyone who wants to see my though process as I layout the scene in 3D...etc.

Amazing!
Just like every year.

[bmcaff]

Wow! Fantastic mate. I love it.

[AJ Jefferies]

Thanks chaps!

[Nearl]

This is great! Nicely done.

[Macker]

I genuinely wish this was a weekly thing. I enjoy seeing these so much.

[M.Max]

This is so impressive man!
really creative with a very good lines and colors
I liked the video progress too

[AJ Jefferies]

Thank you!

Here's another little behind the scenes thing of me sculpting the Dad's head if anyone's interested

[Nearl]

Thanks for sharing AJ! I need to get better about recording my zbrush sessions....

[AJ Jefferies]

I've got in the habit of saving one file with all the undo history enabled, then incrementally saving ones with it turned off, as I've occasionally had them become corrupt - as the one for the monster did in this project

Obviously the one thing about recording time-lapses from your undo history is that it will often not show the mistakes!

[Nearl]

I've had the same issue...good idea to save a with and without history versions

[Syclone1]

Awesome job on this! I almost look forward to your monster posts.

[AJ Jefferies]

Thanks Syclone1

I've been sent a lovely video of the kid (Reagan) getting to see the illustration for the first time

[M.Max]

That's so sweet and adorable!
