Week 2 and 3: sculpting process

Week 2.

Started working on the concept art in photoshop, I really likes the shield and decided to go with that. The shield has a eye in the middle and is ornate. This helps me learn more about hard surface and working with props

Week 3.

I decided to make the base mesh in maya. In maya I can focus more on the semetry and form of the shield more easily. I then export the the model as an obj file and import it in Zbrush.
