15 Minute Sculpting Challenge

in my last video I attempted to sculpt a Pokemon from memory and you guys gave me a ton of Awesome suggestions over on Twitter and I ended up just kind of picking one at random because I couldn't decide I ended up getting very lucky if you guys haven't seen that video go check it out I'll throw a link down below but in this one we are going to be doing a very similar thing but you guys sent so many awesome suggestions I want to try to go through a lot more so this time we're gonna do same thing but 15 minutes each it's gonna be really tough considering normally if I were doing this professionally for someone like Tomi or wicked cool toys which are the two US companies that own the toy license for Pokemon in the US this would take probably like 40 plus hours just for one sculpting prep work all that good stuff so this is going to be really really interesting 15 minutes each let's try it here we go you guys have sent in so many great responses I feel like it would be ill of me to just go ahead and choose one so we are just going to randomly generate a number and go with that one so here we go get in the first one number five we'll go ahead and check out who number five is here really quick number five is ELISA bye-bye act Charlie or Charlie C maybe but Galicia pod I don't think I know who Calissa is if it's the thing I'm thinking of it's like a green ball green sack of mush I think maybe I don't know we're gonna check it out though and attempt to sculpt this guy in 15 minutes so here we go okay so the first thing I need to do is find out who goal is so pod is I have no idea let's see here okay no this is not what I was thinking at all holy crap this is going to be extremely difficult to do in only 15 minutes Wow okay alright let me import this image into ZBrush and we can go ahead and get started I am so nervous to do this this is going to go abso horribly but I'm gonna start the timer here 15 minutes let's go ahead and start it okay there it's going it's doing it okay good just got to go as quick as possible and try to get the main stuff here so I am using a tool called sculptress Pro to kind of get out the the major landmark II shapes here and I'm using the snake hook brush to kind of sculpting the the the stuff real quick oh my god it's I'm not gonna be able to think and talk and do this all at the same time oh my god this is going so terribly okay so main shape I don't think we gotta do specifics I think that's going to be way too slow oh my god I'm hitting things I shouldn't I'm also going to be using like dynamesh and a few other tools here to kind of get the major shaped I just want to try to do this as quick as evenly possible I am a very naturally slow sculptor by default I am tend to obsess over shape probably a little too much for something like this for attempting to sculpt in 15 minutes so he's like got a bigger back kind of deal kind of like a cobra almost a little bit more skinny in the tum got some skinny freakin little leg things down here oh my god we need we need some color on this as well so let's just try to fill in as much of this holy crap as we can I am already like two minutes down so we can very uh what do I do next um okay so it's thinking that for these metal or like carapace esque shapes I can probably just like duplicate and cut out some stuff so we're gonna try that really fast here ZBrush can be a little finicky a lot of the time but not today not today I'm gonna get this to work really quick okay so what I wanted to do was these are such awkward shapes something like this it's just real quick oh my god I've never sculpted so fast in my life crap crap crap I deleted oh my god like to leave the wrong thing holy crap okay there we did okay we did the thing fill in some colors here I'm just gonna scale this up really fast scale scale scale turn on double alright how are we doing on time okay 11 minutes left we're fine we got plenty of time here plenty of time do stuff what do i do what do i do from here um okay I need I need what do I need what do I need I need an edge loop how do I do this alright little trick here with the zmodeler brush extrude where yeah extrude come on come on all polygons huh awesome okay run a quick auto groups on that why are those connected are you serious are you kidding me come on this is this is all part of the the master plan I definitely plan for this okay split these are all separate like carapace care peace Kappa peace shells okay holy crap that was mm-hmm a lot a lot of work or hopefully a proper amount of payoff here as I attempt to get this layered effect very quickly oh my god this is taking so long really I'm doing this super quick but for 15 minutes this is not this is not working out super well okay okay okay just focus focus focus focus my brain my brain what's next what's next okay he needs it his little arm things little arm things go let's see let's just take a sphere or something it doesn't have to be perfect right don't have enough time for anything to be perfect right now and I'm gonna cheat and reuse some some shell stuff from up here hopefully let's grab like these three pieces really fast something like that I know it's not the right shape and it's all kind of walking messed up in so many ways but that is going to have to do for now okay then he's got a bunch of these arm things going on here panic everybody panic how do I arms let's see okay curve to something like this yeah that's that's beautiful that's perfect we're doing it we're doing things he's so off balance it's not even funny he needs more arms he's got too many arms dude Wow okay that's not what we want there we go curve wow what what is happening there I click that click that so many times just make a freaking arm I don't care what it looks like we're getting there we're getting there we're getting kind of like the gist of him right sort of just say yes okay look so bad take a deep breath take a deep breath eyes eyes are important all right so so is his underwear thing how could I have missed the underwear thing okay let's give him his little dude end down there all right we'll try to delete that pull this down really fast and hopefully that dynamesh is together okay that looks like it worked kind of something like that sure oh man he is hideous not that the Pokemon is very good-looking either but okay five minutes five minutes what do we need what do we need he's got his little feet things down here any time we have at the end we'll save for like little tiny details if that's even possible because I don't have time just to like have a little separation down here come on we'll just do that really quick and maybe try to pull these out into point sure sure beautiful perfect couldn't be better okay oh man I'm panicking he's got more claws and arms and stuff so it's fine it's fine everything's fine just put a call here okay I don't know what just happened there things are freaking out I'm freaking out pull this with a cue curve and kind of like make a claw shape that's for sure what a claw looks like okay here is one and here is two beautiful claws okay amazing these these things oh my gosh this mask is way too detailed I'm just trying to fix the shape there so that we can actually put a face on it because it's way too shallow I could try using the curved brush again and there's so many things wrong with this it'll have to do I'm dying for it to not do and then I'll try pulling out sure sure whatever whatever works how much time okay we got two minutes left two minutes here we go here we go home stretch we got this there's no way we could fail stuff going on here sure fill that in beautiful beautiful beautiful real quick what's he got there he's got like a weird diamond to I shape why why is your eyes such a specific weird shape just quickly paint something in no it's so wrong why why is it so wrong I should not be focusing on this stupid little detail all right zoom out dallisa pod we did it okay one minute left what can we do okay um quick hurry he's got I'm gonna try something I'm just gonna add some slices I know this seems weird and crazy but trust me on this it's gonna make sense in a minute probably crap don't delete that that would be terrible group slit okay yes merge members down merge all the things down 22 seconds 22 seconds do it do the thing I want you to do oh my god it's not doing it it's not doing it six - five four they're close enough three two one go is there bud oh my god Wow wow that is that's kalisto Patil right looks perfect exactly like him okay we need to turn that off okay so for 15 minutes you know we got a lot of the stuff in there we're obviously very far off proportionally the weight of our character of our goal is a Pothier is super off and everything but for just 15 minutes I'm surprised I was able to get so many parts and pieces in here we're obviously missing stuff like the extra details of the armor plates kind of coming up we're missing just kind of like the wrong shape over here on the arm and the way that kind of has those little triangles and different patterns on there there's a lot of details going on in this guy its feet are completely just blobs that I threw together really quick just like yeah let's do the little stick legs I feel like this is something it looks like my first creation in ZBrush I didn't even get like the little mouth little things poking down so overall you know I'm I'm kind of impressed that I was able to get so much done in 15 minutes but that was a lot of fun so I think we're gonna do another one so let's go ahead and pull out the RNG number calculator and try to figure out who's next okay we just finished up number five which was Galicia pod let's go ahead and do our next one here Wow we went down one number all right number four let's find out who number four is number four is Oh a classic Vulpix sent in by Odie Thank You Odie for sending that een a Vulpix is a pokemon that I am very familiar with but it does also have a lot of details in its fur and everything else so I think this is going to be just as challenging as the last one especially since it's very cute it's very hard to make things look pretty or cute in a very short amount of time whereas alternatively making things messy and gross very quickly is very easy so this is still gonna be a huge challenge but let's go ahead and hop on over to ZBrush and get started now I know what you're thinking that last one turned out so well how could he possibly mess this one up well allow me to show you let's go ahead and start the timer year from number two fifteen minutes on the clock here we go all right you got to go fast man I didn't think about this I should have like slightly planned ahead mentally but that's okay well we'll just try to go as quick as we can get some of the basic shapes here I'm just gonna try to block out the skull the major shape there all right again I'm using I'm using this tool called sculptress Pro I'm not you I haven't been using it like a ton so I'm not super well-versed in the tool I'm not super fast at it but it is a little bit faster than the way I would normally sculpt and start blocking out shapes oh gosh so it is a little bit better in that regard but either way what is this shape looks like a little chicken yeah so my brain all right so essentially what I want to do is I want to get the body and head shape basic basically down as quick as I can and try to get the arms legs all the parts and pieces just as fast as I can because that's really gonna help me that's gonna help me stuff my brain I'm so sorry I cannot think and do this at the same time I am struggling if you cannot tell I'm struggling a lot why why is my brush being so stupid I am trying so hard to not make my tools be stupid they just want to go against me though kind of looking a bit like a Bambi but I will take that we're going in in the right direction hey you know things are starting to look like a little vole pixie I want to try to get that tail shape really quick here so for that I've been using this curve to brush a lot and I think I'm just gonna use it again so it's like a curlicue kind of like this I know that doesn't look right but what I'm going to try to do my plan here kind is to inflate this a lot and hopefully that'll just make that curly Q shape correctly come on hurry of zremesh faster oh my gosh I shouldn't I shouldn't do any of these operations that take a long time to calculate because now I have to sit and wait for them come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on what the hell why is it frozen oh my god this is really frustrating just work do the thing there did it that time I don't know what was wrong there that looks that looks close enough is what we're gonna save for now close enough is what the name of this should have been that is pretty much everything that's happening sure okay so what I'm going to do is just duplicate that but I'm also going to reuse this shape for the hair okay we've got like 11 minutes left we're doing pretty good on time I think kind of the the part I'm the most worried about is the face because it's a cute face and cute things as I said before are very tough to make look cute when you have such a small amount of time I need to turn off perspective perspective it's very hard to sculpt with perspective for certain things I'm going to hopefully get this to look close enough with some kind of shiny material in there each yeah yeah we'll see we'll see if we keep that or not there's another material I can try really quick that might work if I can find it there's so many materials in here it's called jellybean where is it where's the jelly bean I can't see it if five more seconds four three two one where is it okay I found it all right something like that real fast this is important eyes are important towards a white why is it not brightening up everything is just a whole lot of panic and oh my god it's so ugly let's just make it look a little bit better a little bit better is what we want if we can get a little bit better than what we have right now I'll be happy we're not gonna be perfect but if we can get like the gist of the the Pokemon that's that's awesome something like that what's going on here with these poles and then for these back legs I'm gonna try to increase the volume there and my geometries gonna explode a little I need a brush I need a brush that does the thing I want alright we don't have time to deal with that anymore I'm just going to make the front legs a little bit more thick up towards the top we have six and a half minutes now I'm trying to just combine this stuff super quick so that I can kind of like blend it very quickly to make it not look so stuck on but I think that's kind of going to be unavoidable it's going to stay a little bit messy I think because I don't really have enough time to clean this up for the face okay let's let's fix the head let's lower the poly count so it's easier to work with hopefully this doesn't freeze and take forever come on come on little red lion go go go okay okay okay I think we're good oh god that looks so bad I'm gonna try to increase the size of the eyes the bigger the eyes the cuter the creature to go to go to rule definitely true here for Pokemon I know it has like a jaw I just don't have I'm just gonna try to get the gist of what it's doing here with its mouth and try to maybe like get a little extra volume down here oh man no stop don't get that big that looks super weird Oh No okay we got a serious problem down here our geometry is collapsing in on itself pretty poorly it causes a lot of issues hopefully that fixed it there all right let's get a nose let's get some ears let's get the rest of the hair let's just make sure we have all the pieces on there before we move forward and then I can spend I think the rest how I need to duplicate the tail too though there's so many things so he thinks I need to do hurry up and this is there's all this stuff that I'm trying to calculate it's taking forever okay um ears ears no wait what am i doing I have an ear brush I I have a brush specifically for this that I made that feels kind of like cheating but I don't care it is a similar enough shape and that is a human ear that is not the ear I want now I want the animal to stay this is uh why everything that I do is just going terribly wrong no matter what I do it just like nothing works ZBrush is not something meant for going super quick like I'm trying to do here it's a sculpting sculpting is not meant to be something that you do is super super fast either but we're gonna make it work alright this three will merge those three together and then we'll just duplicate them again and six-six tails perfect let's just try to do something like that oh wow okay that's beautiful sure sure oh my god that is so disturbing oh okay okay okay what do I need what do I need with what time I have left what is most important probably making the face not so disgusting the rest can be disgusting but I got it I gotta do something to fix this face very very quickly can we get a nose in there real quick that would be real nice what do I wanted to do here to fix the head I need to turn off quick save it's wasting time oh my gosh let's get rid of the extra badonk back here it's so so messy but I just can't find a reason to care so I just don't have time to do so I'm just trying to lower the poly count on everything it's gonna make it a lot Messier but it will also make it easier to to control it's kind of like this weird payoff right now just because I'm so out of time it's not even funny oh my gosh we were down to the last 30 seconds the hair oh my gosh come on I just got a I just got to do the hair thing I just got to get that hair on top where is the thing okay okay okay okay come on come on come on get the hair get the freaking little poof of hair it's too 18 seconds you can do it you can do it come on come on come on come on quiet quiet yeah it looks just like Vulpix it's 11 seconds 11 seconds come on I'm just freaking I can't move this correctly okay okay okay there we have it Vulpix in all her shining glory her his shining glory wow that is that's really good all right there's our beautiful Vulpix I guess is what I would call that oh my gosh there's just so much wrong with this and there there is a lot right though you know all the parts and pieces are kind of in there they're just super super wrong compared to glue so Pond we were able to get kind of everything in there a lot faster just because there were less parts altogether but it's still an absolute tragedy so for me we're gonna generate our third and final Pokemon let's go ahead and find out who it's gonna be thank you again for everybody that has sent in their responses god I am so nervous to press this button all right number 19 let's see here it is chuckle shot from G Hudson thank you for sending that in Hudson chuckle is an amazing Pokemon and by the grace of the faith's I have been given an easy one it's literally just like a round shell with some yellow tentacles sticking out so I think I got off really easy here with this last one and I'm very excited because I don't know if I can do another thing that would be as complicated as Galasso pod um so chuckle here we go let's let's shuck it it's time third and final Pokemon here 15 minutes let's not waste any time here in the beginning and begin alright here we go so the first thing I want to do is just get the basic shape of his shell there which is going to be pretty simple I imagine it's just like a sphere it's a little bit like off off kilter it's not like perfectly round or anything I think I'm gonna have enough time to finish this guy because he's pretty simple but I don't want to take any chances here so let's just make sure we do everything the right way and I think I'm going to just make this symmetrical oh not quite like that I'm gonna make this symmetrical hopefully there we go just to make this a little bit easier to to work on doesn't have to be perfect because we can come back and play with it a little bit later I'm even going to spend some time getting rid of some edge loops here really quick this is not something I would normally do on any of the other ones but because he's so simple I think time to do it we'll find out though sure here at the end we have oh my god already 13 minutes left Wow okay this does go a lot faster okay let's get the rest of the tentacles for the arms I'm just going to duplicate the one that I have for the head rotate it around let's do a mirror and weld over to the other side and they're not quite that long either we need to get these start getting these shapes on the body like immediately because they're asymmetrical oh gosh asymmetrical so there could be some issues with that alright so we got the basic shape of the shell we got the tentacles here I want to start getting some of these shapes so I think what I'm gonna do for this shape is create one of these and then reuse it multiple times so let's sample this here I'm gonna sample the color draw one of these out as with everything else just starting with a sphere I'm actually going to turn this into a brush hopefully we have eleven minutes left so I think I have plenty of time to do this essentially what I want to do is boolean out a cylinder from here so let me just make that a little bit bigger I'm gonna set this to negative turn on live boolean and voila we're almost there so I could have probably just used like a Taurus or something for this that might have made a little bit more sense but we'll just kind of stick with what we have because time is of the essence alright I think that'll have to do I could sit here and play with this a little bit longer but it's not really worth it and we got it okay so now I need this piece we got nine minutes left that's fine that's fine let's grab a brush create insert mesh new so this should make this into an insert mesh brush for me okay it's up there I hope that the poly paint is still on this it doesn't look like it but we have polygroups setup okay so we need to do a few things here okay so we've got one for the head and I am just going to try to quickly do these let me see if I can grab that brush and then he's got like a few extra ones just kind of haphazardly placed on him he'll try to get a few of those maybe like a small one back here it's kind of like a barnacle almost but what's great about the way we did this so like I said some of the stuff got messed up like the color isn't transferring properly which is fine should be able to invert that like so and that does look to be working pretty well the shape isn't isn't quite right but I don't think we have enough time to fix this hope for the best I am going to get some like haphazard shapes on these just by kind of masking them off really quick and very quickly pushing and pulling some geometry around nothing is cooperating I'm just using my move brush for all this it's the most simple brush that you could possibly use time is running out time is running out as always with this let's finish the shell really quick I'm just going to paint on the inside of these to fill them in with black so it just looks like it's an empty cavity and we'll just kind of create the illusion of depth there and that will have to be good enough for what we have if I can kind of soften some of this shape really quick that would be awesome you know it kind of seems like a minor thing and it doesn't really add a lot but little bevels two edges kind of add a lot more shape and form there okay finishing off the shell let's get a few more little spots here we don't have a lot of time so we're just gonna do these pretty quick a few different places and we're all they're all going to be relatively the same size and shape just because that's what we have time for with four and a half minutes left all right like one more sure maybe like another one on the bottom whatever okay eyes let's get his dumb black is in here and the mouth and then we'll be like really close to being done and maybe we can like work on proportional stuff like the head needs to be bigger and the head needs to be like more up here oh my gosh this is this is what happens now I'm gonna spend the rest of my time just fixing stuff that I broke all right eyes no more time eyes eyes I work on the shape of this get kind of like the nice curve that we have there possibly possibly more rounded through here something the eyes are kind of sticking out a little bit too much now slide those eyes back in and for them the mouth I'm going to do a very similar tactic using that curved brush from before weird line going through here make it really tiny I said really tiny you know that's actually pretty close so I think that'll do I'm gonna turn on perspective actually so we can try to fix a couple things here the shape in our mouth our mouths word of mouth go I hope this works I hope this calculates quickly okay that did calculate pretty quick and it completely broke on me it doesn't really want to do exactly what I want that's okay that's okay we got a minute and a half I'm just trying to clean up the line so we get something nice and clean there that'll have to do for now finishing touches the material on this shell could be a little bit shinier I don't think we have time to do that I'm just gonna try to clean up some of these legs and the rest of this really quick with the remaining time make sure nothing is interpenetrating the other geometry make sure none of this stuff crap is like sticking out all the hand-painted shadows in there okay okay I think we are good I think we got pretty much all of that worked out okay 40 seconds left what can we do with 40 seconds we are going to hop into transpose master stupid fast and here we go breaking symmetry on our chuckle boy and hopefully that will do it for us do some of this and make them a little bit more haphazard he doesn't want to be perfectly symmetrical because I don't think he normally is eight seconds t posing back and I think we should be good three two one alright there we go there is our beautiful chuckle boy his mouths the wrong colour that's okay that's that's a freebie right I can just change the color on that his mouth doesn't have to be red I kind of warped him a little bit too much there at the end in that extra direction just trying to give them some asymmetry super fast we didn't have enough time to do a symmetry with any of the other Pokemon so I thought just because he's so simple we would probably have like a few seconds there just to do something really really quick but there is there is chuckle he looks like chuckle I guess there's still you know a lot of stuff we could do to this to like clean it up and get it to be a lot more accurate to the original Pokemon concept but I'm pretty happy with the way he turned out for just 15 minutes I'm pretty happy with the way all three of these turned out I hope that you enjoyed watching me be super just not stressed at all and attempt to sculpt all three of these Pokemon in 15 minutes each I had a lot of fun I hope you enjoyed it as well my brain is like completely fried after doing that 15 minutes is not a long time but oh my gosh my brain was firing on all cylinders I don't normally sculpt that fast I like to be really methodical for what I do when I'm sculpting I like to really pay attention to shape and form and try to get it as perfect as possible so that was really hard for me to do to just say you know it's good enough just kind of move on to something else I had a lot of fun doing it though I hope you guys enjoyed watching it if you're new around here click that subscribe button wherever that is on the screen and there's a link down in the description to my brushes materials blah blah blah blah blah check it out if you're interested and yeah that'll be it so I hope you guys have a great rest today and I'll see you in the next one [Music] [Applause] [Music]
