Here is a new logo design I am working on rendered in Zbrush, 

Ok I have been away for a while so there are a lot of post to catch up with here are a few projects I have been working on both sculpting and ZBrush! 

I will start off with Transmigration of the soul Piece, Done in a classic clean clay and based on The Bhagavad-Gita verse The original concept was a painting done by  Pariksit Dasa

“As the embodied soul continously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.” Lord Krishna, Bg. 2.13

Detailing the Demon king Ravana head, eyes and teeth. 

Moulding isn't as hard as it looks!!!!

Working on Ravana armour after Sculptis:

I have started to work Ravana armour and arms but after detailing the armour first in the sculptis program I found so easy and quick to bring into clay, its still in the early stages but here are some photo updates!

Sculptis CGI software:

 Hi Guys I have been looking a long time for a really good CGI sculpting program cheap and easy to use, I have never really sculpt on CGI programs before so I have to learn as i am going. But this site and application is truly unreal its called sculptis very easy to use and great for drawing up your sculpture before you start, the program allows you to change scale and save, so you can get the exact size you are wanting to bring out into clay. Here are my first few attempts with the software

Still working on the Ravana piece I started to sculpt his head and armour, and just like sketching it really gives you another prospective into your sculpture!

You can change the materials you use to sculpt with in the program like the armour here I change to a gold material, it is very impressive to see the transformation!

I am having only one issue for now and that it starts to slow down and close the screen on me while I work on, But I have sent the company a massage and hoping to resolve the issue soon. The best part about it is that its free the upload "FREE" Yes it is but I think the catch is that the real program that is need with the sculptis is the ZBrush application and thats for sale for $700 US thats a pretty good price. I have been looking around and I know its a very good price. But the sculptis is unreally an unreal yes I said Unreally unreal. Just try it for your self here is the link for sculptis and the company pixilogic

ZBrush Tips and Tricks

 Ravana many heads defined!

Because sculpting can be limited to the realities of the material laws of nature trying to sculpture Ravana full ten heads was not an option. But based on the past time his heads came out after Lord Rama cut them off, so in many traditional painting sometimes three heads were out.

  Brahma granted him these boons in addition to his 10 severed heads and great strength by way of knowledge of divine weapons and magic. Thus ravana known as 'Dasamukha' (Dasa = ten, mukha =face). 
Here is a painting with 3 heads coming out

 For molding reasons all three heads can be detached at a later stage, when sculpting I have to always keep in mind the molding process and the undercuts and difficult areas that would cause a problem later. Hence the arms and legs will also be removable!  

I wil leave the finer details on the heads once the main torso is finished, this will keep work undamage, in the earlier stages to sculpting I learned that doing the fine detailing at the start can cause you to do it twice, and there is nothing more frustrating then when you just get it right and you have to go over it again! Finish the bulk of the heavy pushing and pulling of the clay and then detail your little hearts away. I will post detail description of the helmet being sculpt so keep an eye out for that.
