Some Older Exercises

These are some older exercises I found on my hard drive. I wanted to practice making a realistic face, so what better way to do that than to model my own? So I took a few pictures from different angles and kept a small mirror next to my monitor and got to work

It's still a work in progress though. Eventually, I'll add eyebrows, different hairstyles and even color.


After that I decided to have some fun with model and make my self into a super fatty. Or maybe it's me in twenty years? who knows.


I also had a generic head sculpt of a Na'vi I was working on lying around. So, I figured why not use my head sculpt as reference to make myself a Na'vi avatar?

All in all pretty fun practice.

Thesis Main Guy

Here's a bit of the progress of the main character from sketch to model to final colored version. I'm still not too happy with the colored version of the main character, so I might still put some work into those before I post the renders up.

Thesis Villain Part 2

Here is the full body render of my main villain which I've only so far referred to as the fat man, or also as "Bad Fat" as I've named him in my file names. I did come up with quite a bit of a back story for him, but the important part is that he's really fat, evil and immobile, so he uses his mechanical equipment to pilot huge menacing robots. Not the most creative villain, but I never said I was a writer.

Thesis Villain Part 1

This is the final version of the main villain for my thesis, he's gotten a bit fatter and grosser since the earlier version I posted.

For now I'm just posting the head shots. I have full body renders, video turntables and the rest of the characters coming up too.

Megacon 2010 Batman

I was lucky enough to be chosen to represent the Ringling Illustration department at Megacon this year. I wanted to work on some of the stuff I created this year but unfortunately the laptops only had a version of Z brush lower than the one I had used in the labs. So some of the files didn't open.

Luckily, I could open a head I had made and just used it to quickly turn it into a comic character. I chose Batman because I was trying to sell a painting of him and batman is pretty bad ass. Never got around to selling the painting though.

But, anyways this is 2 days worth of modelling not counting the time I spent wandering around taking pictures and looking at swords.
