Sculpting THANOS in 11 Minutes

Get the full Thanos sculpting time-lapse here

This 45 hour sculpting project by our Co-founder Morten Jaeger has been edited down to just 11 minutes to give you a look into what it takes to create a highly detailed character as well as doing some ZBrush hard surface sculpting.

We wanted to create a full concept of Thanos from Marvel's film, Avengers infinity War, from a sphere as well as The Infinity Gauntlet. It's all sculpted in Zbrush and rendered in Blender using Eevee.
This could also be sculpting in Blender or any other sculpting software, but we chose ZBrush for this.

See Thor? This guy knew to go for the head first.
Edit: Thanos is a chonk nutsack-chinned masterpiece.

Lazy mouse has now been elevated to the rank of art.

I would love to see a breakdown of all the tools used. I have been wanting to do hard surface modeling in zbrush for the longest time

[Nova-sama]

sees "50 million vertex". My PC : *sweating

[antisimptrooper]

Thanos: "this puts a smile on my face"

[EGeorgev]

Since you gave him his blue eyes instead of the normal human eyes they gave him in IW and Endgame, your version is officially better than what Hollywood could pull off.

Teacher: what has everyone sculpted today?

The quiet kid who loves marvel:

I can't even make something that vaguely resembles a seal and this dude out here making Thanos.

[justanameonyourscreen]

Respect for that patience on the detail of the armor and glove...

[Osiris]

I dont know what is more the epic the music or the fact you made all this in 12 min and 25 sec. :D

I am starting to sculpt in blender after having done some animation times ago. I was thinking that I'm great at it and that it's pretty intuitive, that I was going to start creating the characters of my stories.

So I came across multiples tutorials before seeing this vidéo and I totally lost my breath like for real. Doing that thing when you open your mouth giving a spoon of soup to a baby, I was doing the same expression as Thanos while you sculpted it. Just gave me even more motivation to really get into it. Thaanks !
