I just finished reading a book called "Prowlers" which I kinda enjoyed cus I've always liked werewolves/shapeshifters, anyway I thought I'd make a Lycan image as a Zbrush test and here it is...
Heres the progress pics, base modelled in C4D - Sculpted and a basic texture painted in Zbrush - and back to Cinema 4D for a render:-
Rendered it out along with just the spec/highlights on a shiney version so I could pick and choose what looked wet/shiney etc by erasing the areas I didn't need...Then painted in some more details/blood etc in photoshop

wow the final result is different from what I expected, when I saw the image numbered "3" I was about to go "oh no not another cheap-looking lousy render" haha.
By the way I think maybe the saliva (from the first picture) would look better if it didn't have that opacity-controlled translucenct quality to it. Some of the painted fur also lacks the sharpness, contrast and definition which the shiny/wet rendered areas have.

Heres another one, added a Zbrush body, modelled some foreground in C4D rendered then painted in the fur, sky, blood etc in photoshop using a few refs:-

very visceral.
I just watched an american werewolf in paris the other night in a hotel... so this seems to fit right in.  |

hey there. nice work, i especially like those detailed renderings on the second full-scale pic. Just wondering, the proportion of the limbs seems strange - can't quite put my finger on it. I imagine determining werewolf anatomy is hard, since, you know, they don't exist (right?!) Perhaps aim more for human proportions with wolfish features. that would mean, i suppose, extending the limbs, with the forelimbs a bit thinner and longer, the back legs longer and more muscular (they don't seem to connect to the pelvis properly...) Also that rim-lighting on the underside of the chest seems unlikely...
only those things. sorry couldn't be more specific  |
