Colin the troll
Colin, a bust created in Zbrush and finalized with material composition in Photoshop as a 3D concept. This was one of my first five creations as a third-year student wanting to specialize in creatures and I decided to take the concept direction. This bust was created to practice anatomy and sculpting on Zbrush.
The aim is to try out different workflows, such as in this case material composition, photobashing and mattpainting, procedures that were previously unfamiliar to me.
Final render
Color zoning was used on this figure, as this practice is used in various fields of graphic design and painting. It organizes and divides the surface into distinct zones and reinforces the overall skin tone.
Several material renderings were performed in Zbrush and imported into Photoshop. Each layer was modified using hue and saturation adjustments, curves, filters or masks, and blending modes.
These procedures helped enrich the skin details. Three textures were applied using different blending modes by changing their saturation, then masked and painted manually.
Marmoset
The incorporation of a hand-created map into the roughness considerably enhanced the appearance of the character's skin, with areas featuring increased roughness and others brighter, offering greater diversity.
