Hadopelagic King - WIP 2 - Cutting the Pieces

Decided to cut all his exoskeletal plates into different pieces so they feel more like... different pieces.
Next step will be to work on each piece individualy to push things further and add more details to the shapes.

Hadopelagic King - WIP 1- Getting the Idea

Taking a break from Wonder Woman. I miss sculpting creatures so I had fun this evening. Still a work in progress though, I'm going to finish it tomorrow... or should I say later? Wow... time passed. Anyway, here he is, the proud ruler of the abyss! The most noble crustacean! The Hadopelagic King!
Early stage when he had no face
Trivia: "Hadopelagic" refers to the Hadal Zone, the oceanic space from depth of around 6,000 metres (20,000 ft) to the bottom. The hadal zone is generally known to have low population and low diversity of marine life.... but what if...

Diana of Themyscira - WIP 19 - Topology and UVs of her Hair

Saved myself some days of work and used ZBrush's ZRemesher for the topology of the hair. I might optimise it more if it's too dense.

Diana of Themyscira - WIP 15 - Added Leather Strips to the Body Armor

I added some leather strips to her armor. The idea is to get more secondary movement in the final pose, so, leather strips flying around during a combat move seem like a solution. Combined with her hair and lasso, it should add dynamism the the image.

For the occasion I made more variations of my UV checker to differentiate the UV sets, so.. here some free 4K checkers!

I was wondering how I'd look if I was in a Black Metal band so I tried something.
