All over the place.

First off my friend Derek Hauffe has been cranking out some great photography, I really liked this photo of a birds foot violet that he did. So i did a quick 2 hour oil on canvas of it. I took some artistic liberties with it.:)

Next a quick concept I did for a friends book.

And finally I have been working on a low spec mmo starter kit to be sold on unity/turbo squid.

This is the male warrior armour set so far. Base character is 500 tris and all the legs, bodies and heads can be swapped around to make up different configurations.

Happy new year.!

Well new year, new paintings. I got some pretty big canvases for xmas, so I have been painting them for a show this Thursday at the http://www.canadianriverart.com/  here in Canadain. It's a show for local artists.

Here are 2 of  churches i painted acrylics on canvas 30x20 inchs.  based of various photo reference and memories of being there. I'm showing about 7 pieces there.

Alli base mesh

So this is what her base mesh looks like. You can see most of the forms are all ready there. I just find it quicker to get an idea of what the finished model will look like, of course this is not always the case.

alli update

Did some more work on her.. roughed in a base,   hmnm not sure about that tho and thickened up some parts. I should have mentioned this is for http://kingdomdeath.com/home.html

from sculpt to 35mm

Well I got an interesting project to work on, to make a model to be scanned at 35mm.
I decided with this model to model her in the final pose before taking into zbrush as I wanted to work on her as if she was a 35mm model. so NO symmetry.! I really enjoyed working this way as it gave me a chance to work on cloth and muscles in their different states, and get a little more movement into the sculpt. It really bugs me when I see models that are in a T pose and there muscles and cloth are modeled to fit that exact pose as that is prolly gonna be the last time they are ever going to be seen in that pose, and consequently when moved into any other pose they look very strange.

still working on her, and have not touched the shield and weapon yet.

yes she is link.:)

I'll will be posting more progress and some break down of workflow soon.

Texas moonrise and telepoles.

Another quick Mypaint one, I really love the the skies here and the way the phone/electric lines cut it up, this one was from a photo i took of the moon rising in October. I just have a load of these photos i'd like to paint at some point.

this was done using the paint brush and blend tools, lines are done with a delay brush.

time again.

SO messin around with mypaint today using the water color brushes. such a great tool and just tons of brushes. I guess i'm going to be doing some more digital paintings after a few years of doing Acrylics and oils.

also been doing some low poly art works sub 1000 tris models for a viking game.
