Game Artisans is a great art community that runs the Comicon Challenge. This year I’ve decided to enter. Things are about to get pretty busy so hopefully I’ll be able to finish on time. There’s lots of great artists there so be sure to check it out. Click on the banner below to follow my progress.

I’ve added a couple of new 2d images. I was testing out some custom brushes in Illustrator and ended up doing a couple of illustrations of Keith Richards and Jimi Hendrix for fun. I’ve also given the site a bit of a face lift for something different.

I’ve added a new video section to the site. I’ve added a few turntables and a couple of timelapse videos showing the creation of the Neytiri model. You’ll be able to download them or there’s a link to my Vimeo account where you can view them online.

After buying the Art of Avatar book, I was inspired by the amazing work of Jordu Schell. In particular his concept sculpture of Neytiri. I decided I wanted to do my own sculpt of Neytiri and try to capture the same feeling that Jordu Schell had created in his sculpture. I had a lot of fun creating her, the most challenging and time consuming part was modelling and positioning her braided hair. I recorded some of my sculpting sessions and will be uploading a timelapse and a turntable of Neytiri soon.

I decided to try something a little different with this piece. After doing a sculpt of a male torso I had an idea to create a graphic design inspired 3d image. The image was created by combining different render passes of both a high and low polygon mesh then combining them in Photoshop and painting a background. You can check them out by clicking on the images below.

I finally got around to texturing and rendering the Alien bust I sculpted a few weeks ago. I tried a new texturing technique with this one and I’m pretty pleased with the result, although a lot of the finer details are lost a bit in the render.

I’ve added a new 2D section and a few photoshop paintings in my PORTFOLIO. I’ll add more sketches and various 2D images there in the future.

I’ve added a couple of new images of an Alien bust I sculpted in Zbrush. I’m planning on texturing him soon and I’ll post some more renders then. Check them out in the PORTFOLIO section.
