DYNAMIC HANDS

FINALS - POST YOUR FINAL RENDERS IN THIS THREAD

An expressive character is not only about a posture and nice facial expressions. Hands play a major role in how he or she communicates and comes across. And yet they are more often than not glossed over and ignored in the 3d world.

It's time to change that.

This challenge is all about the hands. Try to convey emotions through the palm and five digits. Look at your own hands, look at master sculptors and push yourself! You can sculpt just the hands or, if you feel you'll manage, a character emphasizing their gestures.

Have fun!

RULES AND GUIDELINES (MUST READ) :

Layout/Size: Keep all submissions to 1000-1200 pixels in height or width. Dont go too crazy on the number of WIP images - 2 pics say enough, we don't need 10 images with different matcaps each

At least two WIP images are required before posting the final piece.

Post your WIP images in this thread. Do not open a separate thread.

Submissions: Post Final Images in Finals Thread (To be posted later.)

-One Entry Per Person (the character should be new and created for this exercise)

-Beauty render, not just zbrush screen capture please

-Beauty render has to be in CLAY style only, Texturing is not required and shall not be considered for judgment .

-Follow the topic description to the best of your ability.

- Pay attention to anatomy, shape, form, and lighting. USE REFERENCE. Critical thinking is key to great character design.

- DO NOT post your image in your portfolio before the the results of the challenge are published

DEADLINE : 22 JANUARY 2012

Hey whats up CGHub Community,

Looking very good what came in as results , seems like we all had a very good experience on doing the dynamic hands. I was very useful and a awesome practice. Still hands are the most hardest things to sculpt i think

I am sorry that I didn't go any further with the sculpt, had some major private problems... Hopefully next challenge I could put more time and effort in it!

Here is my entry

.. I have to post this one than..

Cheers to you mate and I wish everyone good luck when the decision comes =)

Best regards and see you all next time
