Animated Monster!

Animated this guy for my last project in 3D this semester. Might go back and add in some sexy fog/spit particles coming out of his roar... that'd be sick.
But then this was a just-for-practice sort of thing.

Enjoy!

More Thesis Preproduction

Last bit from the end of the semester! Just a bit more of these samurai guys... gonna see how much of a head-start I can get on this thesis over the summer.

Samurai

Also here is some concept stuff.
I've been working with a team on some thesis ideas and preproduction, and we recently decided to go with this idea. I won't talk about it too much, but I will say that it's about ghost samurai and it's gonna be awesome.

Really getting excited about this concept! Expect to see more... for a very long time.

Finished Boss Monster!

Oh jeez! I've been cramming too much for too long and totally forgot to be keeping up with this blog. Also I suppose all of my art showing-off energy has been going into portfolios and WEBSITES!!

Anyway, finished up the 3D model of that boss character I was showing off forever ago.

Concept first!

And the final guy! Might be animating him, so maybe expect to see more of him.

Figure drawings

A bit overdue. I took a figure drawing class last semester, which was so lovely, and here's a bit of what I have to show from it.

Sir Ian

Next project was to sculpt/model, rig and animate a celebrity likeness or caricature! I chose to do a realistic sculpt of Ian McKellen.

Had a lot of fun with the high res sculpt, although... he started to get pretty creepy once I textured him. Uncanny valley ho!

This was still a good project for me though, because (besides learning how to animate faces) it made me realize that all the work I've done for school so far has been realistic-styled work. So, I'm going to try and make a more fun and stylized character for the next project, the boss character! Excitement!

Sweaters!

First assignment of the new semester! I am going to be in zBrush 24/7 and I am SO HAPPY.
Anyway, just a quick one week warm-up assignment:

Oh! Also my portfolio site is sort of done! I'll have to move it out of my free Ringling webspace eventually, but for now check it out!
