    Video Dragon Ball 3D Sculpture - Fan Art



    Yeah!!! I have been featured by CGSociety!!!! Hurraaa!!!! I feel so happy and proud as Goku jumping over everything!


    I have done this Dragon Ball 3D sculpture to celebrate this great privilege and pay homage to Akira Toriyama’s stories and to my childhood’s favourite cartoon. I grew up drawing Dragon Ball characters, collecting comics, all kind of merchandising.. a completely fan of Goku’s adventures. This was the main cause that boosted my imagination and my wishes to draw, improve and evolve. I remember drawing gokus and vegetas since I was 7, everywhere, everytime.


    I have based this 3D work on an original drawing by Akira Toriyama, trying to match the original looking as much as possible. I think this was the latest drawing I copied from him, before searching another styles and challenges, and it was the first idea that crossed my mind when I read the notice of being featured. I wanted to close the circle and redraw again this great artwork, this time in 3D.


    So this is a complete ZBrush 3D sculpture/render, starting from simple 3D spheres and dynamesh, done in 60 hours. I have tried to achieve a 3D/2D/cartoon feeling, with a little bit of posterization in one of material channels, but keeping the 3D volumes and lightning.


    This is dedicated to my family and all my school friends with whom I grew up and shared my passions. Thanks for everything!

    nicely done. It work be better if u use a flatter material with a deeper setting with the cavity, it would give it a more cartoon feel. It still look awesome right now.

    I would agree if this would be a cartoon but it isn't. Dragonball is an Anime and Anime is a0 different style compared to Cartoon. But indeed it looks awesome.

    Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate them!

    About the cartoonish/anime feeling, I played a lot with all types of materials and properties, but although I wanted some kind of cartoonish effect, I didn't want it to be extremely hard or visible, just a little bit of it blended with the 3d volumes and shapes, with also a bit of wax effect, as it were a 3D printed model or a wax sculpture painted over. In fact I lowered all the mixing values of cavity/outline/posterization til I was satisfied. Take a look at Goku's boots or at Boo's skin, how that posterization blends together with the wax effect and polypaint. Maybe it would work with a very hard cartoonish material, but it was not what I wanted.

    Thank you anyway ;-)
