Mech Final Sculpt

Finished the details and paneling on this one. Now off to pose this guy and render him in keyshot. Pretty happy with the overall design of my first zbrush robot. Did what I could with what I knew in terms of shape language, learned tons in the process. Can't wait to do the next one! Thanks again for all the knowledge Furio :)

Lab Experiment Creature

Heres a design I worked on for the laboratory environment that I posted below. Worked on it on and off as usual and will be used as a class example.

Dream Defenders Ep05 Teaser ll On The Ball

Heres a trailer for an episode for the show I've been working on for the past 3 years (can't believe its been that long already!). Its called Dream Defenders, and its about two kids who enter peoples dreams and help fight the nightmares that plague them. This is one of the few environments in the show that I designed (with the the guidance of our awesome art director: Pauline Fong ofcourse). Here the high school tennis champ has nightmares about an upcoming match in form of a lava dungeon arena, and his rival in form of a 4 armed tyranosaurus rex.

I also proxy modelled the environment and the props for this set with the help of my other half . Will be posting more trailers and stills as they get posted on the youtube channel and blog.

Tribal dudes

sketch of the day. some tribal characters. very inspired by the movie apocalypto, the costumes on that movie are amazing! sorry for the symmetry. sketched this out in zbrush.

Lil'golem guy

This was done for Cghub's 3d Creature planet challenge. The theme for this month was golem. Wanted to try something a little different from the big badass rock monster so went for a cute version. cheated a bit on this one as I couldn't find a way to make the head more rock-like without looking ugly instead of cute so i designed the head cracks and just chiseled em in very slightly. Lots of room for improvement on this one but deadlines are deadlines.

Maybe I'll do another render with a posed version of this guy sometime. something with a story. birth of a golem perhaps hehe "here I am world, I want to destroy things."

Monster Concept Sketch 02

Heres another concept sketch based on another one of my designs. As well as a piantover of the 3d render. This one took significantly longer than the previous one probably because I strayed quite far away from the original sketch from the previous post, which I feel still has a littel more character than the 3d version.

Monster Concept Sketch

A concept sketch of one of the monster designs I did earlier.

Dragonball Evolution!

(journal was edited because it was too long, vulgar and irrelevant to the actual purpose of the post, this is meant to be a portfolio blog afterall)

Heres a concept sculpt for Piccolo.  My own version of the movie version.  I've tried the giant turban on his head, the humongous brow muscles, the purple pants and blue sash from the comics.  Turned out looking like a genie vampire from hell.  So I stopped looking at the reference and tried doing my own thing.  I'm thinkin maybe the live action route wasn't the best idea, and they should have made it completely cg animated, without trying to ground things to reality.  It would have been some epic stuff.
