EHF02 Seabirdby ~Rhythem02

Hi Everyone

This is what's keeping me busy lately. It's "EHF02 Seabird". It’s completely sculpted in ZBrush and composited in Photoshop.

The concept design is not originally mine; it came from a mech illustration by Geoff Herndon he goes by the name ~Tekka-Croe. He illustrates Anime Mechs and Vehicle as a Hobby. There are a couple of illustrations of his that I liked but this one I find really interesting because of the weird proportions, thin arm and feet and yet the torso and thighs are quite large and yet it all worked very well. So I decided to sculpt this one.

By the way here is the link to his website in case you want to check out his concepts and Illustration.

Now on to my part, the sculpt is a bit different from the illustration. My reason is for one there are a lot of dark shadowed areas and this is the only illustration that I found for this mech it doesn't have any view from the back nor the sides so I have to fill them up with my own original details. Second, not all concept work well once translated into 3D so I have to change them up a bit while keeping its appeal and still staying true to the original design.

Challenges, there aren't a lot on this one except from the lack of reference from other views like the sides and the back. So the issue there is proportion. I have to figure that out myself from a 3/4 view illustration. So it’s a bit of a challenge.

On post production noting much worth mentioning except on how I did the depth of field. I did the ZDepth differently. Rather than using ZDepth side with Lens Blur, instead I duplicated my final image; then applied Chromatic Aberration with values +15 on red/cyan and -15 on blue/yellow, and used the ZDepth as Mask. This gives a sense of depth of field without losing much detail.

I hope you like it. Comments and Critiques are mostly welcome. Thanks

Good lord, I love what you've done with the back of my machine. Excellent work keeping the styling consistent.

Seriously man. you have a good sense of style, you keep things consistent, a good trait of a illustrator/concept artist. That helped me a lot to connect my design to your design.

You should apply for a real concept artist job.
