I gotta plug one of my favorite sites for both finding inspiration and new talent. CGHub also just added my portfolio to the Master gallery. Which is pretty cool to be picked by some of my peers who I’ve always looked up too. I am in no way a master, but I’ll take it. :P
Anytime you see 2d art on here it was most likely done as a favor. I normally moan and groan when I get a request, but once I start sketching I really enjoy simplicity of it. Sometimes I wonder why I do 3d art. I mean between fighting software and over coming all technical hurdles that are synonymous with 3d art. You really are only doing actual art 50% of the time. That being said. I don’t think the Golden Age of Cartooning is coming back anytime soon, so for now I’ll keep slaying the beast that is 3d!
Pixologic’s long awaited ZBrush 4 has arrived! Does it live up to the hype? Can ZBrush continue to dominate the digital sculpting world with this latest release? Follow the link for the full review. ZBrush 4: Review.
My first Sideshow sculpt was shown at Comic-Con this year. It’s a 12″ H x 10″ W diorama of Flint vs. Zartan. Anyone who knows me knows I am a big GI Joe fan, so getting the opportunity to work on two of my favorite childhood toys was unreal not to mention getting to work with some the best artists and designers in the industry! I’d like to thank Adam Ross at Idol Workshop for all his help, the Sideshow Design and Development Team as well as all the other amazing craftsmen that helped produce the final product. Check out Sideshow Collectibles site for more info.
Here’s a sneak peak of a few of sculpts I worked on for Sideshow Collectibles. For more info hit up Sideshow Collectibles site!
Pixologic has posted preview videos of Zbrush 4 as well as a gallery of images created with the beta. Check it out at Zbrush Central.
Here’s what I came up with for the beta. Ape Haggin’!
Step-by-step tutorial I made on how to make a shoe in Zbrush. Enjoy!
I don’t normally review plugins or endorse them, but a lot of people email me asking about my workflow so I feel obligated to pass on this awesome tool. GoMax is a script that will allow you to quickly jump between Z-Brush and 3ds Max seamlessly. Giving you the ability to edit your meshes with Max’s polytools and keep all you HiRes detail in Z-Brush. Props to Norman Schaar for writing this script. He’s both a talented scriptor and artist.
Sculpt I’ve been working on for way too looong of Morrigan from the latest Dragon Age game. Really love this character design props to the concept artists at BioWare
….and here’s some Zbrush renders.
Ok… still can’t really show anything, but I can guide you to a teaser shot that was posted on the Sideshow production blog.
