Weekly Drills 025 - #HumanSkull
For this challenge you can go all creepy with your design, or even carve some cool patterns into it, or you could be more traditional and use this as a legit anatomy study.
This week we want to get back into some anatomy and better understand the human skull by creating a project with it as the central piece and tag it #RookiesWeeklyDrills and #HumanSkull
We all have a skull, but most people don't truly understand or appreciated how cool they actually are. Not only do they basically hold our faces in place, but they protect our brains which is a good thing. For this challenge you can go all creepy with your design, or even carve some cool patterns into it, or you could be more traditional and use this as a legit anatomy study. Either way, have some fun with it and challenge yourself to better understand this awesome bone structure because it will make your character work way better in the long run.

Skull Island
The idea behind this skull island was to not give a skull a sense of death. I sculpted a basic skull in zBrush and moved it over to Houdini. There i created a height map and ran some erosion simulations over it. I also added some foliage - all procedural!

Honourable Mention
Down in the Caves
Here is my submission to this week’s drill. I wanted to focus in on an art style that I had used before and try something new. I like how this project has turned out and could possibly see myself creating more artwork like this in the future.
