Maya Model

For this terms project we have to make a statue to put into our battle arena. I have decided to make a gladiator. I have made the model on maya and then imported into zbrush to add detail. muscle and some cracks.

This is my maya model after I have uv rapped it and cleaned up the topology for my model, have also put in screen shots of the maps that I have baked using xnormal.

This is a screen shot of my model in Zbrush; I have added muscle and a lot of detail on to the model using the clay build up brush.

These are the screen shots of my build in unity with my model as an asset and all the textures put in place

 This was the last Life Drawing lesson of the year, and because of some complaints the model had to stay relatively clothed for this lesson. For the first time ever I had to draw clothed a clothed model; but it turned out to be very fun even though it was extremely difficult to get the clothing right and I also liked what had turned out. The shading on the dressing gown had turned out extremely well and I really liked it. In some drawings though u can clearly see that I had focused too much on the clothing instead of the models body.

These are quick drawings of the models doing different positions, I also used Charcoal for the first pic of drawings while the second I used pencil.

In this drawing my focus was not the model so I got the basic outline as soon as I could not worrying about any detail so I could focus on the background around the model.

This is where we used prospective in our drawings so the position where were to the model was important. The farther something was the smaller it would be while the closer it is the bigger it would be.

This is another drawing where I used two different colours as well as two different media to draw in the hot and cold areas on the models body.

Both of these is where I tried different techniques that I would never try when I'm normally drawing.

I find both of these techniques extremely difficult, because if I lose focus al of it will go wrong.

This was about a 5 min drawing which is where I did the outline as soon a s I could to try and focus on the shading more then anything.

In this one I tried again to only use shading and lighting to make the form for the body; even for the fingers I didn't use any out line only shading where the shadows and dark areas where on the models body.

These are Quick drawings of my class mates because the model was late so we decided to start by drawing each other in different positions.

In this exercise we tried to use two different colours that signify Hot and Cold to draw the model; I used blue and red which are the typical colours for hot and cold. 

These are a series of the quick 2 min drawings where the model tries various positions.

This is one of my main drawings for this day which is were I tried only using shading and lighting to make the form instead of using out line.
