Throughout the week I continued to build the radio blockout with Cane’s hard-surface design course (check out his course here!) and was able to reblock the radio BBS-01 he provided in his starter files.

After this practice, I brainstormed ways to continue improvement and practice of my hard-surface skills using ZBrush, I collected 10+ mechanical reference images and will continue practicing by building these out to the best of my ability. Diverse design pieces are always good as they push different your limit in building through various curves, surfaces and complexities the shape can have. It’s a fun puzzle even with simple objects in how you approach replicating it based on what tool you have in hand.

I also concentrated on the rear view of the Batter Hammer stun baton design, built a sketch ready for coloring.

I started ZBrushing this design in a quick 1.5 hour session, needs a lot more work… pretty rough…

But not sure if I should continue pursuing this project or take a breather and go for a new project now entirely.
