This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I tried to sculpt a cat's head on Nomad Sculpt for PC. It is surprisingly more responsive than blender on the type of laptop I have... Feedback appreciated.

Looks really nice.

Since you asked for feedback: the nose doesn’t look right. I think it’s to accentuated and too wide.

Perhaps the forehead might look better a bit smaller?

It's the best I can do with my current skill. I know how to draw a car. But getting the tools on this program right is the hard part. Once I get used to using them I will have better quality. This was a test to see how well I could use the tools to get something that looked enough like something else.. I am a complete beginner.

If you're going for a big cat face the nose is too tall. On a real big cat their nose would stop around the time this one starts flattening at the bottom. Like 70% smaller at least. The nostrils also aren't in the middle of the nose like a pig. Instead they're on the bottom edge with the nose resting over it.

Otherwise it's a very fun and energetic sculpt.

Well the first thing you should always do when trying to recreate something is get some references. That being said I think the head would be more rounded, one thing you can also do is keep things like the eyes, ears, nose etc as separate geometry so you can move them more easily. Once you move from the large rough shapes you can consider attaching and blending things like ears. I'm not sure what nomad can do though, most of my hours are in zbrush.

Zbrush is too expensive. This is my first try with nomad. Only $35 on PC. I have seen people do very amazing sculpts on Nomad. I am far from it. I did look at a reference. But this was as close as I could get it. I am still learning the dexterity needed to use the program's tools. Zbrush is way more sophisticated and there is an easier way to get base meshes but nomad you have to make them yourself with the available tools. I am jealous of those who can afford zbrush. Isn't it around a thousand dollars for the program or did they switch to a subscription model?

Student license then not caring about buying it means I've never actually spent that much. Yeah I just looked and I guess zbrush doesn't even do decent perpetual licenses anymore...

That’s a swole cat!

It looks good, instantly recognizable, just very buff
