Segment Summary: Creature & Character Concept Sculpting - "I will be doing speed sculpts from a sphere, completely from the imagination. The goal here is to muck the clay around until I see some interesting shapes and design a creature or character from that. Lot's of fun, learning and experimentation!"
ZFriends: Pass the Sculpt - A game-like group stream teamed up with Ana Carolina Pereira and Stephen Anderson. Dependent on the theme, each artist with sculpt for a hour, rotate ZBrush files, and continue sculpting over a 3 hour time frame. The result is a fun fast paced, telephone style game with wacky results! Each artist will stream independently to our 3 social media channels, YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. View them here:
