Miyazaki study

A study of one of Hayao Miyazaki's paintings using a mix of custom brushes specifically created for doing quick forest scenes. Another demo prepared for students for tomorrow.

Environment Study

A warmup study of some artwork by Jayee Borcar for the film "Rise of the Guardians." Still tons to learn when it comes to environments. But had a great time painting this :)

Environment Sketch

Heres an environment sketch that I did for my students in composition class. Used a few brushes here to speed up the workflow.

Wolf dude concept sculpt

Heres a concept sculpt for a design I am helping out with for a friends short film. Using it for a  creature demo as well for class.

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."

Sketches

An Alien Sketch done a few days ago.


A mudbox sculpt excercise to shake off the rust.
