It’s been a while since I’ve been on here regularly, but I’ve started working on a T Rex sculpt. Ideally this is going to be a serious project that I’m going to finish completely, since my goal is to get some material for a demo reel in the near future:
So far, I’ve gotten the basic form of the head/neck, and I’m working on adding detail to the neck. I still need to address finer forms in the head as well. I’ve been working on getting some loose, leathery reptilian skin on the neck, but I don’t think it’s coming through that well. Teeth are placeholders. Any C&C is appreciated, please be harsh with it!
Thanks! The teeth are just placeholders; after working on other parts of the head, I’ll add better teeth, and try to stick them into the jaw crocodile-style. Perhaps I should clarify what my progress is in my original post.
Looking at some Komodo dragon pics it looks like their skin sags are more pinched and tighter together if that makes sense lol your sags look more rolling mounds where as the Komodo dragons skin kinda drops straight down and then right back up every like half inch. https://images.app.goo.gl/5YYST7QSZGxMsaTm9
Added some refinement to the face/mouth, and started redoing the sags. I’m a lot happier with the neck as it is now, I think I just need to fill it in completely.
Wow. This is looking really good. I’m curious to see the front view though because I just saw some video about the trex’s eyesight. Apparently they had really good eyesight and had almost no blind spot in the front. So I’m curious to see if your trex looks more like this or this . Anyway good job.
Wow its looking really good, the details are insane. The only thing I can critique is that the eye are looks like he is missing an eyelid. From this view you can’t really see the upper eyelid.
Some updates, baked down the sculpt details to a normal map and started texturing. Somehow the height info looks a little weird, and the roughness also seems a little off, so any pointers on shading would be appreciated. If you squint though, it looks quite good…
