Chichi!

2012-02-15T08:27:00.000-08:00

I think the last time I painted or did any form of 2D artwork was 2 years ago. I realized I was past due on putting some time back into my traditional roots. 2 hrs.

Beetle Concept

2012-02-05T22:59:00.000-08:00

Just messing around with an old speedsculpt I did a while back. Some sculpting as well as a quick paint over to see what kind of potential this creature has. My buddy who wants to animate it totally re-inspired me to pick it back up and suggested some sort of desert rider for him as well. Could be cool!

Speedsculpt Revised

2011-12-11T23:58:00.001-08:00

Took him into Maya for a quick render and PS tweaking. I need to start doing actual Hair.

Spent some time today doing a little retopo of my latest speedsculpt as well as a base texture!

Speedsculpt Sessions

2011-11-24T22:39:00.000-08:00

A quick speedsculpt with a buddy showing him workflow and overall zbrush stuff. This is what we made. I always have alot of fun sculpting a character with other artists in a 5 or 10 minute trade off because you see new approaches and happy accidents that you might not normally see when doing a personal sculpt. Good times

I spent more time after our initial sculpt to refine him. I really liked where he was going. Inmate Frankie or something.

Hey Everyone! It's been some time since I've had anything to post and the only thing I've posted in a while has been speedsculpts. Anyways!! This is what I was working on for a year. I spent the first 6 months doing Previs for the entire bridge collapse sequence. 2.5 months of that time was spent doing on set Previs. I then returned back to the studio where I began working mainly on modeling and texturing props and characters. I'm pretty proud to have worked on this movie. Go see it!!!!

I've joined forces with a few friends to work on a project being led by a good friend still at VFS. This is a quick mock up of what he is and isn't thinking. This was basically to find some direction for the environment and feel for his idea. I decided to post it because I enjoyed creating this. Cheers!!

Aji Concept - First passes

2009-12-27T18:06:00.000-08:00

So I broke my right collarbone back at the beginning of December snowboarding...... It completely ruined my groove with finishing up term 5 and now going into term 6 of school. For the past 3 weeks all I've wanted to do is create something, but its been impossible while I heal. Finally I've decided to test out my arm and try designing something on the fly today. This is about a 4 hr sculpt with a quick photoshop paint job. :)

Glad to be somewhat back. Long road of recovery.
