He's got clothes now. I had some problems with the subsurface scatter maps and the mud it'd work best with material layering but my renderer cant do that.

I put a face on the skull to check the bone facial structure. I think it kinda looks like Sigourney Weaver.

#AI is sometimes useful as a creative aid. I.e referances, thumbnailing and texture referance. But when you use A.I as a final product you prove to yourself that you don't believe in your own potential. That you can't learn and create on your own, or your just lazy.

Starting the high poly sculpt on the skeleton. I have the most fun Sculpting the secondary forms and establishing the light and shadows in the Sculpts surface.
What's your favorite step in 3D modeling?

Making a skeleton as a game asset, with a focus on anatomy and optimization (it's around 26k tris now). accurate vertebrae take up a lot for tri count.

A sci-fi pistol I made with Hardops I like to focus on modularity when I design hard surface stuff. I think it gives it a more realistic or personal feel to the model.

As a 3d artist I start a lot of sculpts or models I think are great ideas but never take all the way to finished. some times it feels like I need someone else's cause to validate the worth of a piece. Like I cant finish something just for my self.

One of the most finished things I've done recently. It's a rat cowboy mini figure, I even got to print it, I learned a lot about designing for printing from my mistakes here.
