First of all, sorry for the time during each post but I still have a lot of work besides my Albron work…

But I try to advance as much as I can and I managed to work on one new image. I know that it won’t be possible to make this for a calendar because we’re already in November… And the calendar should be finished by now if I wanted a release  for the end of the year…

But it’s always a new image done. I will change few things in the image, like the jeans he is wearing. I’m going to change the sculpt and give him more roughness and dynamism.

I wonder if I I’m notgoing to do other images with this character.

Tell me what you think of him and of the image !!

I hope you’ll like it !

Take a good care of yourself !!

Alex.

I just created a new gallery with all the latest works done with Zbrush and Blender.

You can see all the process of creation, from the sculpt to some final renders.

You’ll see also few exclusive images that I didn’t post for now : Some researshs for new characters and the image that appears at back of the blog.

I will post some more there.

And I’m working on the new images… Jeans involved so I’m sculpting one : Here’s just a little preview. I started yesterday so it’s far from being finished…

I’m so happy ! I just finished the first image for the calendar !

As it’s going to be sold (just have to figure out how…), I put some copyright on it… I hope you’ll understand.

I can’t put a higher resolution of it… Otherwise, there will be no one to buy it in the end…

Anyway, as you can see, I changed completely the set. The previous one doesn’t seem to exist for real.

Here, I used some pictures of hollywood villas and cool swimming pool to create this set. The result is more in the spirit of the character… And more into what I want to do.

Don’t hesitate to tell me what you think… I know, you’re used to see higher res of pictures on my blog but I’m sure you’ll understand that choice.

I hope you’ll like the image. The calendar image will only be the main one. The close-up is just for you, to have a better view of his face.

Alex (really happy with the water rendering !!)

Well, it’s just a preview of the set for the swimmer… So no muscle for this time…

A classy swimming pool.

Just to tell you that things are advancing.

Well, holidays are over… humm; for me, I mean… Even if I worked during July and June… But anyway, clients are back and I’ll have less free time.

Anyway, I want to advance on the calendar. I thought it would be a fun idea to remake some of my drawings in 3D: A kind of transition from my earlier work to what I’m really doing today.

So, here is just a tease of the first picture. If you go in the drawing gallery, I guess it won’t be hard for you to recognise which one it will be !!

And don’t hesitate to tell me what you think !!

Take care !

Alex

PS : One thing I will probably change from this render is the pubic hairs. I think he will be completely hairless…

PS2 : To celebrate the thrid anniversary of the blog, I decided to change the design of it. Hope you’ll like it !

Well, I continue to create the guys that will appear in the calendar.

This is a new one. I hope you’ll like him. Don’t hesitate to tell me what you think.

The next one will be an asian (not asiatic, thanks Michael ) guy, and then a bear style guy…

But for now, Curtis !! I think he will stay bald like this. I’ll made another black guy, more jamaican style, with hair and beard, later.

Don’t hesitate to tell me what you think.

Alex

I hesitated between the hair of Alcide from True Blood and the previous haircut of Kurt, but I wanted to stick with my first idea…

And there was some technical problems with that style of haircut that I wanted to resolve.

So it’s finished and I’m quite happy with that !

I redid the tatoo too, and made the slightly hairy chest…

I’ve done tests for more hairy chest but it doesn’t fit to this character…

Anyway, here’s a render.

As I told you the idea is to make a calendar for the end of the year… So there’s a lot of work to do…

Alex

PS : This is not an image for the calendar… Just a render of the character. The calendar’s image will be more sofisticated (with accessories and clothes (or not ) )

I’m back from holidays !! It was so great to go far from Paris and from work for two weeks…

I came back last week and had to finish some works for my main client. But now, he has left for holidays and I’m a little more free to work on my Albron projects !

I wanted to createa new character from the basis that Peter is.

So I rescuplted the face and remade the texture of his face, using the same photo reference that I used for Kurt. (Using the photographs I took of my neighbourg)

So here is Kurt 2.0 !! I think he will have a haircut like Alcide in True Blood. And with a hairy chest… And the same tatoo that Kurt washaving on his shoulder… :-)

This is just a sneak peak !! More to come real soon, maybe tomorrow !!

Alex

Well, I’m nearly done with Peter !!

Someone commented about Peter that he was reminding him of Jason Stackhouse…

I have to say it was a pretty close description of how I see Peter, and I didn’t make that connection with Sookie’s brother !!

I kept a bit that in Peter’s hair. Somewhere between the californian surfer and Jason…

I have to say I fought hard with Blender to get the hair to look how I wanted.

I have to say I spend so much time on this that I don’t see really clearly now.

I wanted the hair to have that same mix between realism and something a bit cartoonish.

Tell me what you think !!

Alex.

Thanks for your messages, really happy that you like Peter !!

Well, I continued the armature and created a kind of skeleton for the face, imitating the facial muscles…

So now, he can has expressions. Those here are maybe a little exagerated but it’s just for tests !

And he had teeth, and even a tongue now !

Oh, and this is two sceen capture of the skeleton of his face without the skin on… A little less sexy like this !

Take a good care of yourself !!
