    Default Skeleton Muscle Study

    Hello all,

    It's nice to finally have something I can post here again.

    The other day, it dawned on me that it has been over ten years since my cadaver lab studies. With a little bit of perspective, I now realize that one of the greatest benefits of those classes was learning the origin and insertion points for all the major muscle groups. So, with that in mind, and as a much needed refresher, I went back and created this ZTL, with all the major muscle forms placed over the skeleton as separate subtools.

    Hope you enjoy.

    later,

    Hi Zac, nice to see you back in the forum.
    This is a really nice study, and really shows your knowledge about anatomy.
    I wanted to do something like this a while ago, but then returned to fleshy characters again. I think someone really has to master the skeleton and muscles first before he is able to create believable characters.
    I have to force myself to go back to the roots (the inside), but it´s always hard to stay disciplined and not trying to rush things : /

    Great work!

    Very cool! How did you construct the feet? Also do you have more images of the forearms and hand muscles?

    Wow! I love how you got all all the muscles and details in there but still nailed the volumes and forms.
    Very Impressive work even for a Master like your self.
    If you ever decide to sell that tool on the Gnomon site or wherever I will buy one.

    I just bought the tutorial for this from gnomonology, fantastic work as usual.

    Edit: Harmonic, you can buy the zlt for this model from zackpetroc.com.

    This is really nice, I love how your sculpts always have a dynamic feel to them. A simple pose but a bit of tension here and there and it look so much cooler than a more static pose. I love it.
