BEAVERTAUR

Back by popular demand (you know who you are)... THE BEAVERTAUR! That's right, it's like a centaur, but instead half man and half horse, it's half beaver and... half beaver? So... it's basically a beaver. BUT WITH MORE LEGS. And armor.

The first iteration of him is actually over 3 years old, and I revisited the idea a couple of weeks ago and created this piece because I wanted my next hand-painted 3D model to be based off my own concept art and not someone elses (ie. lodovica and cat theif/rogue). Now to model this son-of-a...

Cat Thief/Rogue

Finished this a month ago, too lazy to pose it back then and also  now but I'll post a screenshot just so you can see what I've been doing
Based off this concept (not mine)

First Handpainted Character Model!

Better presentation and wireframes to come later! Just posted to show I'm not dead.
Lodovica and Skydoll belong to Alessandro Barbucci :P

Pardon the tits, this is the only decent picture of Lodovica I could find on Google Images, I used the actual comic book for reference but I don't have a scanner to scan the exact reference I used.




Also, title is just to piss Gen off haha.

Character Models, neatly packaged?

Sal and Porker (placeholder named, mind you), a collaborative effort between myself and Brett Somers, a skilled 3D artist who excels at texturing.

Ah, I'm sure you're tired of seeing this guy. I know I am.

I went and revisited this old guy because he was in need of some TLC. I like to think it looked better than before.


More to come as portfolio/graduation looms around the corner. And by that I mean next week. I'm so dead.

No I'm not slacking, Well, maybe a little?

It's been a while, so here's what I've been up to.
First is a WIP of a character for a game designed by a couple of friends of mine.



They're supposed to be agile, ranger-types.
It's based off this quick concept sketch, by yours truly.

Furrieslolololol
And to show that I've not given up on that monkey concept from earlier, here's the low-poly model which I created and retopped in zBrush. I'll be taking it back into zBrush for more hi-poly detail as well as painting, as soon as I unwrap it in Maya.
He still needs his armor too!

If you're wondering why this is all I've gotten done so far in the time that I've been absent, it's because I've been working on a wolf model wherein I created a complete rig with blend shapes as well. I'll upload it once it's either been animated, or once I re-do the wolf model since I'm not happy with the current iteration of it.

Serious Monkey Business

Augh, I should just quit  trying to title my posts. It probably doesn't help that it's 4am. ANYWAY here's the finished version plus progression shots of that monkey warrior guy I started the other day.
Mayan Monkey Warrior

Oh, and since it's Mayan-themed I should mention that he's actually one of these guys:

Skull practice

I plan to have one of my characters wear a skull mask of some sort... just not sure what animal's skull yet. Here's a bear skull for practice.

Just "Monkeying" Around 8D

Ugh, excuse the horrible pun, I couldn't think of anything but THAT title so I decided why fight it? In actuality this piece wasn't a "mess-around" doodle it is actually one of three major projects I'll be working on for my portfolio class this quarter. I'm hoping to create three original characters and take them all the way from the concept art stage all the way to 3-D animation. Anyway, here's a sneak peek at my Mayan Monkey Warrior.

Some stuff from here and there

A mermaid painting I revisited and finished today from 6months ago. Gonna use it for one of the images I plan to put on the back of my business cards :)

Some cute character concepts for like a kid's show :P
Um, this is fanart from Toy Story, inspired by a fanfic. Don't judge me lol.
Cillian Murphy HNNGG
Dunno if I'll finish this. I don't think this clean lineart/hard coloring this is my style.
I could see myself painting it more in the likes of my mermaid image above.

I love drawing arched backs?
Concepts for a possible zsculpt.
BEAVERTAUR.  "The top half of a beaver, combined with the bottom half of a beaver."

My friend said to make her into a cyborg narwhal queen.
I wanted to make a scary mermaid, but it just looks like a vampire with webbed hands and feet. Unfinished.
My character project for my ZBrush class at school.
