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.
