Description Here's my final render of my handwalker. I figure I can finally let this model rest. There's alot going on in this render... originally modeled and retopologised in Zbrush, UVs unwrapped in Maya, displacement and color maps in Zbrush, Then rendered in Maya/Mental ray. The rendering was a whole thing in and of itself, Theres, color maps ,displacement maps, two directional lights in the back for rim lighting and one in the front, all lights have ray trace shadows, used a Sub surface scattering shader on the skin, and the camera has an image attached to it as well as a depth of field lens so that the background fades as it gets farther away. The animated turn in going in my demo reel and took around 6 hours to render 120 frames of the animated turntable. Was worth it tho. Hope you like

your monster desing and detail are much better than the ones of the latest silent hill (origins, homecoming, shattered memories...)
great work!!!!! I tried using zbrush but I didn't manage to do anything good

Thank you! I know it's cliche' but with zbrush you just gotta keep plugging away and practicing.

This actually looks like something from the Metro 2033 series.

It's Russian novel,made into gane eventually,the book I think is of 7 series,this creature reminds me to a mutant (Never seen in game with a few others as well) that appeared like headless mutated human that followed the main character and the other rangers(Kinda like the guardians of humanity from bandits,Red,Facist and mutants Read the book!) around on the surface ruins,eventually the had to flee from them!

Hi,

I am a game designer from Poland (FPS horror game called Insomnia is coming).
I am looking for great 3d model for my game.
Could I use some of Yours models in my game project?
or could I use your great sketches as reference to make 3d models for my creepy asylum level, please?


technical demo of the game:

...This would make an awesome Pseudogiant model for STALKER.

Have you considered it?

I really do like this a lot. Though you've gotten a lot of Silent Hill related comments, but I do see a lot of it in there. The lips at the top remind me a lot of the Closer monster from Silent Hill 3. I also really like how there's the extra mouth on the chest, and how it sticks out like there's something else under there. I'm also assuming that bathroom-esqe environment is where it would be found? It's good to keep it in places that would be dirty, because frankly it's a dirty looking monster. I got to talk to Kenzie LaMarr (if you haven't seen his work, you're missing out!) and he told me when making a creature, always think of where it would be found and give it a texture depending on that. Also, may I ask if this would be a monster that would fight, if it were in a game? From the looks of it, I would say it would charge at you or puke some sort of acid or bile at you, because arm sweeps would probably make it loose it's balance. But hey, you tell me.
It's a great creature! I hope to see more like it!

Absolutely Drool Worthy!

I love the Style of your Work!

Myself and a small team of people are working on a Horror mod for Half-Life 2. Your concepts and 3d realizations of those concepts closely match the feel we wish to create for the mod. Would you be interested in knowing more?

I love this render, I just have a little insight on the mouth in the middle of the torso. Hey, I love it, right? Of course I do. I was just looking at that mouth though and couldn't help but think of your Scraper dude. I just think it might make some more sense to maybe stick that mouth up on the neck there, and have the neck kinda...come out like some sort of turtle thing. With a mouth on the end. Gamewise it'd be very annoying because maybe the only way you could defeat it was to wait until the neck-mouth came out, meaning that you'd put yourself in IMMEDIATE danger for that. (means perfect) Of course this isn't my creature and you are the creator.

It looks awesome. The ground could use some work though, it looks like you just took an image or game texture and used it. It doesn't really match the high poly model. You should make a high version of it.

Very nice design ;D

Your work is beautiful.
Have you shown any of your artwork to team Silent before? I saw on an earlier piece through some comments that you wish they'd hire you.
With your work I don't see why not. ;O

Thank you I know that team silent is not doing Silent Hill 5, its a company called The Collective here in southern California. I tried applying earlier this year but I never got a response.

Well that stinks. I'm sure you would have been a valued member.
All I can say is keep up the good work. I can guarantee with art like this someone will definately consider you for a huge project one day.

Very disgustingly cool. The idea is grotesque, but it also entails some sense of weird beauty (not literal beauty of course). Nice renders.

This is going to be a fave. of mine...

...adding... now!
