Goblin Dance

I smell Hobbits!

Just a quick test of my latest rig. The main body was sculpted and textured in Zbrush and then rigged and animated in Maya. I experimented with painting jiggle too.

Well here he is. All rigged and ready to animate in Maya.

This was just a quick (1 hour I think) concept for a goblin character I was modeling in ZBrush to be animated in maya. I ended up making some changes. First I gave him just 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand for a cartoony non-human look  (and easier to animate). Then I gave him blue-grey eyes to make him more appealing and less menacing.

Just a short test of the character rig. I did this before Xmas.

Here she is rigged, clothed and with some short hair.

Zbrush anatomy study which I have since retopologised and rigged in maya.

Beholder

I did this 2 years ago when the D&D Art Order were doing a beholder redesign challenge. Unfortunately I lost the original Zbrush file on my laptop. Until today that is when I found him lurking in the darkest dungeons of my laptops hard drive.

I thought I'd share this WIP. I may go back over the rigging as it is a little clumsy at the moment - most notably I don't like how the tail deforms.
