Art of Gregory Callahan

Roller Bunny is being featured in the October issue of 3DCreative.

I finally broke down and got a Wacom Cintiq after years of threatening to buy one.  I even managed to bust out a quick sketch of the donkey that dropped it off after waiting 2 weeks for delivery!

As promised here’s a quick over view of my workflow. Thanks to everyone over at ZBrush Central for all the positive feedback!

Was watching a lame documentary on Venice Beach  a few weeks back (I dont have cable) and thought it would be cool to capture the fluid motion of a roller dancer skating along the beach.  Here’s what I came up with.

Little preview of a project I’ve been working on. Base of the skate was made in 3ds Max, boot is all Zbrush with some retopo work for a nice clean final mesh

Digital Art Masters volume 4 just shipped. That just so happens to feature a four page spread on the making of my Rajun’ Cajun’ Jug Band as well as 49 other great artists. The book receive more than double the number of  art submissions this year, so I’m honored to have my work selected as one of the fifty.

Sony recently got bomber jackets made up based off my character design/ model of Grayson from the Resistance videogame.  Kinda surreal seeing the jacket in real life since I spent so much time working on him in the virtual world.

Learning Maya right now (don’t ask why, I think its a pile of…) I’m mainly modeling a lot of simple shapes to get use to the tools or lack there of.

Decided to model one of my favorite childhood toys “The Big Wheel”!  I’m planning on adding a kid to just to practice modeling a organic surface in Maya.  :\

There’s been somewhat of a influx of hard surface characters being made nearly or completely  in ZBrush lately.  This is no easy task, but seeing the amazing results artists have been getting has forced me to try my hand at it. With a lot of trial and error and a awesome concept by Nick Smith this is what I came up with.

Another likeness sculpt. This time I had to make Sam Witwer! Yeah I know, I had no idea who he was either. He’s the main character in Star Wars: Force Unleashed and he is also featured in the TV show Smallville.  I had to do two different hair styles for him, which ended up taking more time to sculpt than the face.
