Gnash

 More renders.

YPR

Model made entirely from NURBS primitives in Maya, rendered using mental ray.

Taking a modeling class this quarter, so expect a lot more of this.

Ascension Day

Quick speedpaint on one of the Cintiq tablets at school. Can't tell if I like this or not. Little over an hour...

Mellothumb

I struggle with every piece of artwork I do to one extent or another, especially with establishing a composition. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot... but not with this one. Started this at around 11 AM, finished at 4. Mostly finished, but I'll prob hit it with some more detail before I put it on my website.

Happy '11 to the few who actually read this blog. Bring on another new year.

The Beautiful Days

Bring on 2011. This semester begins...

...Aesthetics in 3D animation
3D modeling
Working 2 student thesis films (both of which are going to be awesome)
A large commission doing 4 urban designs/illustrations, each fully rendered...

...and of course my day job, and still trying to go out and party at night.

And here's a quick lighting composition for one of the two films that I've been tweaking...

2nd Pass

Rendering, and texturing. Still not done yet though.

The Unknown Guest

Started off as a speedpaint of a robot, but ended up turning into (almost) fanart for Bioshock.

About an hour and a half - two hours in photoshop.

Burden of Tomorrow

Band of the moment: Tallest Man on Earth (not technically a band, it's just one dude)



Art of the moment (which is very unfinished)

Temporary Fault

Speedpaint, about an hour. Will fully render this if I have the time...

Drawn up using the same method as my last.

Whitewash

My computer can run Maya 2011, but barely. No point trying to animate if the computer can't stop lagging. I need something more powerful...

Speedpaint from last night, about 30 minutes.

Where are you going?

Totally botched this by saving the reduced sized, flattened image over the PSD file which contained all the individual layers and paths... don't you hate when that happens?

Logo for the band Medicine Lake from Baltimoar Maryland, check them out.

White Light

Concept art for a friend (and very skilled animator)'s film HEPHAESTUS, currently in production. I'm going to be doing various environmental designs. This is the first, with many to come.

Film's gonna be awesome...
