Personal work sculpt of humanoid creature based on a lovely old Ron Cobb sketch which was his homage to Lovecraft. Love the proportions of these creatures chunky hands and feet scales reminiscent of tortoise and crocodile. Ron cobb such a legend and key inspiration of most of the industry whether they know it or not and certainly one of mine. I hadn't seen any ones interpretation of this so thought would take a 1st shot as an exercise and see where i am with my sculpting after so long and on iPad proving out software and pipeline a bit more. Sculpted entirely on iPad in nomad so far - done a quick bake down test to game mesh in cozyblanket as well. Done in 30 min bites here and there in free time whilst son doing karate or football or any other times present themselves - a mobile untethered advantage of the iPad and the apps now available. Sketch used for reference created by the legendary Ron Cobb.

Quick Turntable recent progress playing with postfx in nomad learning as i go whilst working on beastie.

Timelapse intial steps recorded from primatives then snapshots in short wip vid to this stage.

Initial very rough "temp" head blockout from spheres.

Roughing out with primitives then voxel merging with rough forms in place just working it out  (the creature and the app) as i go.

Smoothing over the clay sculpting so quick smooth and with direct interaction it feels to me the closest approximation digitally to sculpting with clay that i have found over the years personally.

Critter is getting there finding forms - need sort sausage hands and fingers and feet properly. 

Scales and detail in clay so much fun to do - done symmetrical for time being will amend in due course were necessary fairly happy with tail trying to keep the chunky almost puppyish proportions of these creatures in the concept. 

Folds of skin like tortoise around their exposed limbs and neck.

Belly chest is ok want the ridges more subtle like a crocodiles belly scales as with the concept will keep fiddling when come back to it.

need to get most recent up as well covid has finally gotten me and been kicking my ass this past week or so unfortunately. 

A quick high to low projection test in cozyblanket creating the geo and unwrapping really quick easy to use prefer to quadraw tbh can bake up to 4k maps nice clean result in the normals. 

Getting there with the hands and palms - though not visible in concept the palms chunky paw like hands feet made me think of a gecko with scale forms across the pads used for gripping.
