Ghari Wireframe

Here's a wireframe of the Ghari Assasin. Some tweaks here and there. I had to knock back the Brachioradialis and friends a bit. On a side note- 2 cheers for Maya's viewport multisample anti-aliasing. Much cleaner lines!

Blizzcon Art Contest...Maybe

I hope to have time to model and texture this guy. I'm not sold on the facial hair, but we'll see. His outfit will be along the lines of the Thuggee cult of India...well sort of. Belt, sash, yada yada. But they are best known for killing lots of people on the down low and are the bad guys in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". The character itself is loosely based on a type of crocodilian that eats fish in the rivers of India called the Gharial.

Mural for the Cannibal

This project was a lot of fun! The art team at lagoon had me on a loose leash and were very easy to work with. This thing is billboard sized-14'x48' I think. I need to get a picture in front of it. The file almost choked the life out of my photoshop. Trying to warp things and run filters on an 8-10gig file was always a "fingers crossed" situation, but it worked out.

A little of what I been workin' on lately

It's a Children's book! This is one of the pages; just the lines with placeholder values assigned to the shapes. I'm still working out the lighting/color etc. but it's been a lot of fun so far.

Bit a light and color!

I Went back to my high-poly workshop character. Lots to do, but I thought I should get some subtools in here. I've been in photoshop so much lately that I've forgotten how much fun zbrush can be.

A little update. Now to finish the body sculpt! Some real abs, veins and such! I had a little bit of time this weekend to put in some pores and skin. Tried some alphas I found online...but none of them really worked that well. I pretty much just use one or two default alphas from the menu.

CatHulk Presentation

The CatHulk

I decided to enter Game Artisan's Comic-con challenge. The requirements are that the image be a fusion of two superheroes and or villains into one. I chose Catwoman and the Incredible Hulk. It will probably change a bit before the final entry, but here it is so far. Here's an attempt to unify color a bit more and tone down the surface glow while cranking the back light. Now it's late though and my eyes are burning...so this may be a 3am mistake.

I saw a Toucan at the aquarium

This Toucan, like most aquarium jungle birds was very pretty, so I wanted to draw it. When we made it home though, the draw-urge had turned all dragon. Now that I look at it, the colors resemble a trout...which I skipped at the aquarium...

I finally squarespaced it.

Apex Character Sheet

Hellima! Plus size pain!

Hellima's character sheet along with bits and pieces of the thumbnail process. Her story includes Norse-ness, giant lineage and blacksmithing...and of course killin! She was made to fit in the world of "League of Legends" (hence their background) and I see her as a tank with secondary attributes of a fighter.

Apex! The Perfect Predator

Some process shots. Hopefully the process police won't be alerted!

Lost my Blog

I couldn't remember my blog info and the email info to reset it....it feels like I have a part time job resetting passwords. Anyway here's a little bit of handy practice. Bah! looks like I missed the inside of the pinky! Plus the entire ring finger!

I can't help but overdo the pronator teres

This is a WIP from the character class I'm taking through CG Society. Katon Callaway is the teacher and does a great job. At this point I'm ready to start the final sculpt. He's only around 450k and I haven't broken symmetry yet, but I plan to give him a good rearranging. The concept is Katon's.

A little Hand Painting Practice

Hopefully I'll get around to putting this thing into a model viewer.

Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!

And now for something completely different.

Low Poly Weapon Practice

Here's a shot from Maya's viewport which is where I would update and decide the value/hue/sat of the texture. It came in at 330 triangles and has a 512x512 texture. I normally paint in 3D, but I thought I'd try to do this one completely with photoshop.

Zombie Creatures, Animal Prosthetics, Propane Swords

I wanted to put down the idea of a character who has physically superior animal parts (in this case Gorilla arms and chest with lion legs)bolted onto his limbless body. I need to put in some call outs to show how this guy works, but I think it could have some cool possibilities.

Moonkin Concept

I might as well get a post out of the concept sheet.

Moonkin 2.0

Here's the finished Moonkin Character, I want to thank my friend Pedro Bellini, an amazing technical artist, for rigging this guy from toe nails to leaves. It was a lot of fun to make and especially fun to move around. I've done some walk cycles and breathing/looking around animations, but they aren't worth viewing...it's gonna take some more practice.
