Sensei Bear

Working on my demo reel, kinda forgot about the blog. Here's Sensei Bear in all his glory, I'm happy how this guy came out.

Coke Finished

Managed to finish this in this in my free time..Might do a rotation of  the bottle and glass of ice for my demo reel.

Coke Ad

Making a mock ad..ive probably been watching too much Mad Men. I have an idea of where i'm going with this, but not really...Maybe a small environment

Drive

Yep, the best movie I saw last year. DRIVE!!! Trying to do it justice with an awesome model. Here's the base mesh and pose I got so far, gonna keep tweaking the face (probably up till render time). Might use zbrush fibermesh for the hair...Not too sure how maya is gonna like it though.

Weekend Doodle

I was just looking around in some old files and I forgot that i never finished this one. I got super inspired by some other art and decided to go crazy with some techniques i never used before. I think I'll start doing more of this surreal type of 2d work. Ok, now back to modeling...

mystery guy

working on a character from a movie. he looks nothing like the actor yet, (especially without eyebrows and facial hair) but i felt like putting this up

Smiley has color

Did a quick polypaint and decided to go all zbrush for the 1st time. still not comfortable using zbrush for rendering but i learned some stuff. next project is back to maya for my soon-to-be best work!

Finished Sculpt

Thurr it is. Im thinking bout polypainting him and giving him a proper render...HE DESERVES BETTER DAMMIT! Not too crazy bout the tongue but eh, its still kind of a concept sculpt. and the back of the head needs alot more love so i'll leave that out.

Creature Sculpt

trying out the dynamesh for the 1st time so i decided to do a speed sculpt starting from a sphere. this took a couple hours but i want to push it further... im planning on adding a gnarly tongue and a quick polypaint. kinda making it up as i go

Spike Again

After a long hiatus, im back at it. Decided to finish up the sculpt and put off the texturing for another time.

Spike

Hey its this guy from that show. I'm planning on doing another pose also, probably a super action-y one with his gun in hand. This pose is almost done, I just gotta go in and refine the folds and add seams and small details. Still have no clue what I'm doing with the hair, but i'll figure something out eventually!

Renderrrrrs

Hooray, I'm done. Some final shots of Kate!






A little dramatic lighting render that I thought came out cool.

Render Test

Well, due to computer problems, i lost a big chunk of work. So i finally got back to about where i left off. This is a test of some of the passes composited together like occlusion, fresnel, and reflection. Still a fair amount of things to do such as eyelashes/reflection pass on head gear/shinier lips/more detail to eyes/posing/tattoo/etc

Dont mind her herp derp expression, i just realized she might be a little crosseyed at the moment lol

Texturing Update

Finishing up the skin shader and other texture work. I'll probably start the eyes next.
This is a raw render outta maya so hopefully it'll look better once i do all the passes...

Sculpt Progress 2

95% done with the zbrushing. This is the complete bust that is going to be the final piece. Just gotta add detailing to the head gear and then it's off to unwrapping. I also might add some more wires and small simple stuff too..

Head Sculpt Progress

Close to final sculpt for her head. Still gotta break up the symmetry and add tiny details then it's off to maya for the top of her shirt modeling.

KATE_v.01

Here's the concept sketch of the model I'm working on (who shall now be called KATE) Yes, finally a model with a name. Not 100% sure if i'm going go with this for the model, but it's a little more interesting than a human girl i suppose.

Shaded Model

Just realized that I never posted the shaded version of this model...

Tech Head Model

So here's my new project I'm working on. It's going to be just a bust and I'm aiming for some movie quality rendering. The head is a placeholder, I actually might make it an alien chick or something...we'll see.



This is my really terrible concept sketch and detail paintover just to get the idea across.

Doodle

Random sketch i came up with in the middle of the night. I'm going to make it a complete piece but i'm just making it up as i go along so i'll see what i come up with.
