62 Gorgeously Designed CG Characters

on Jan 11th 2010 with 39 comments

I decided to take a break from the tutorial roundup scene and take a voyage through the amazing sea of CG artwork spread out across the interwebs. This week I am focusing on some of my favorite CG characters that I’ve discovered along the way, some old, some new… but all absolutely fantastic.

    OMG!! Awesome!!!

  • D.V.

    The realism in some of these renderings are excellent…would love to have known which packages were used and the average time it took to create these.

  • http://www.battica.com Bonita

    stunning 3D graphics.. some of them actually make it look so easy!! :P

  • nour el-islam

    thanks man , some of these characters are amazing (humans characters) , but monsters characters i did not like it in the ethical aspect , at general this is very nice work.

  • Proflax

    Wow, theres some really awsome characters in there! I liked the human characters the most though..

  • http://www.liberatocreative.com Maurizio Liberato

    Wow! this collection is stunning! :)

  • Suresh P

    Some of them are really hillarious

  • Kaj

    Really nice characters (most). And the last one is brilliant! Instead of all those buffed heroes we have an old fart with a nice sword :)

  • cnartz

    nice works indeed, some of the aliencreatures are not my favs, but most of the humes are neately rendered…
    and jsut like D.V. said, it would be nice to know about wich packages they made it with…I visited some of the creators website but most don’t tell wich software they use, allthough sometimes you can tell by the “making off”…

    anyway nice post:)

  • Playeur

    Can’t wait till games get as good graphics as Ark Game – Polaroid

  • LD

    I’m totally inspired and completely demoralized all at the same time lol.

  • Andrea

    Amazing, my characters never look that real, the backgrounds simplicity really works. Wow!

  • Richard

    Agree with LD – you think you’re doing well and your skills are almost there, when BAM, along comes a bunch of photos that make the top harder to reach. Amazing work…. must learn Z Brush.

  • wtw

    Piotr Fox Wysocki – “The Artist Himself”, i don’t believe, that it’s not photo, while don’t look at screenshot from editor. All other works is very excellent too. Thanks, and sorry for my english.

    Some of the characters look very much real and in fact scary :P But Ben Kingsley looks like a real snap. How do they create these stuff. I wish I could do atleast some cartoon like characters
