Cyclops Base

Just finished watching Scott Patton's 3d Character Design DVD from gnomon, and felt the need to start another personal project. Didn't want to completely rip off his giant, so I'm trying a cyclops. Did a quick modification of Zbrush's superaverageman, and then spent too long in max tweaking the geometry to get this basemesh.
I realized that this is the first time I've modeled "dangly bits". And by his pose he is quite happy to show them off.

GA ComicCon 09

GameArtisans.org had it's second ComicCon contest just finish. The deadline was actually extended a week but since I went away that week it didn't help me. I entered both the 2D and 3D ones. It was fun and I recorded the whole process of them, so at some point I'll render the videos and put them up somewhere.

I did Usagi Yojimbo for the 3d, I had to rush this one a lot and am not very happy with it. I didn't have time to do a good rig so this is a terrible hack job. The model actually looks better with just the diffuse on fullbright, nice and cartoony.


And Thor done in the style from Sandman: Season of Mists

Dominance War - not so much

So didn't get to finish the Dominance War in time. Work Deadlines kicked my ass, but I am planning on finishing it up anyway.

Here's the Normal Map on the low poly mesh (10k weapon and character) with the start of a diffuse and spec.

Dominance War Zbrush done...ish

There's a few more things I'd like to do but I need to move on to the game mesh and texturing. Even with the week extension they gave it will be tight.

Dominance War4 Update

About a week left and I am way behind, I switched to a more stylized character spice it up a bit for myself and keep it entertaining. I also figured the simplified design would help me speed up texturing a bit.

Dominance War 4 Starts!!!

So, for the next two months most everything that I'll be putting up here will be relating to that. Hopefully, I'll still have time to play around every once and a while but my focus is definitely going to be on this year's Dominance War.
With that said....
