Battletoads - Revised

The pose in the below post was bad enough that I couldn't stand looking at it. I reworked it over the past few days after talking with Matt about improvements. I'm feeling better about this one

Battletoads

Submission for a contest on DeviantArt, which was to create a character for an 8/16-bit game.

To keep with the toad naming system they had set up, this one is Blackhead.

JoGees Halloween Challenge

This is my entry for the JOGEEs challenge, this week's challenge was too take two of their Original Characters and put them in Halloween costumes. Sooooo I choose to have them trick or treating as an alien and as big bird.

JoGee Godzilla Challenge WIP

 

The current two week challenge is to design an original monster and have him battling Godzilla. This is about 4 hours of painting and sketching and I plan on making it even more over the top, weird, and obvious there's a person in the suit like was the case with any Godzilla movie.

Construction Hands

continuing to draw out of my comfort zone and a loomis head.

Snowboard Title Roughs

Title roughs for snowboard app

Snowferd

Last Remaining Snowboarder, fully equipped with snow hover board and Kung-Fu Grip

Yeti Snowboarder

Magmos - Skylander concept

Not a great checkpoint but here's a concept proof. I'm at the point where the base needs to be sculpted separately, the major details need to be sculpted, then the character needs to be posed, base attached, and then it's going to require non-symmetrical sculpting and details after remeshing. Lots of work ahead; nothing an afternoon without interruption can't do

Viking Snowboarder

Day 3 - Wicked Shelled Barbecue Beast

Finished before the deadline, which was last night. The challenge was to create something that included a shell, barbecue, and a beast,...so this is what I first envisioned. Still have to submit something for today

Daily Draw August kicks off

Creature sketch to start the month

From model to print

The pink model is the Max model while the white version is the imported zBrush model with 3 division levels.

And here's the actual print. The fist is approx. 4.7cm tall. It didn't turn out all that bad considering there were parts intersecting on the model that I didn't feel like cleaning up. I'll make the changes if I need to print it again

Bouncy Ball Shark

Painting of a shark made up of those 25cent machine bouncy balls you bought as a kid

-- Not Gary, cos he is supposed to be doing zBrush

Photoshop Render Study

Really influenced by this artist's character design click here and give him the credit.  I just really enjoy his rendering style so I wanted to teach myself on how I would approach to get similar results.

Took all together a little over an hr. learned a lot by making better color choices and not using the eye dropper, again was a personal exercise so that I can improve my future paintings.

Big O' Noggin

Think I am pretty much done with this guys Face piece, gave an attempt at trying to merge this jungle frankenstien together BUT zbrush being its impossible to use lovable self i could only get cross intersecting meshes together as one tool(in other words he just looks crazy) Ssssso we all know what this means.... now mr big guy had won himself some brand new jewelry in the form of some fancy ass bracelets and nice gold chain to go around his neck. Zbrush is trying to break me but i shall not falter.

Head Banger

A lil more work done on the face. Seems the big guy fell n got a lil boo boo 

IN THE FACE

Head Shot

Hairy Start

The craziness begins. I've come up with a way to create the sections quickly but styling the hair to keep it from looking funny is another story. Should work better when there are more strands

--G

 Re-topologizing the face

Retopped face vs. face exported at level 2 division

The mesh on the right is more messy but also has more detail. Feeling like retopping with clean loops was a waste of time since the one on the left is about 4000 polygons and the one on the right is 5000. 

I think from here that I'll clean up the level 2 exported mesh and go on to adding the crazy hair

Cup holder Model

Finally got around to starting the model after taking tons of precise measurements. More to come

FX Animation

Rough FX animation done in Flash for an iPad app.  Next step is to create some more samples and take them into After Effects to put some glow on the muzzle fire and blur up the smoke and particles.

Bose IE2 v2

Re-sheathed ear buds

More WIP

Hopefully this  week end he will get his new hands and feet, he is pretty high the donor list.

Bike Helmet Rough

I was asked to create a simple design that would go on the back of a helmet for a co-worker.  Only requirement was to say the words "Kiss My Ass" and draw some lips...

John Deere cupholder ortho

Getting the shape and measurements down before adding the mods. Drawings are accurate to the 0.5mm. Will be creating the other views, and ultimately, the 3d model when time permits

More Wip

Don't look at  my feet or infant hands.

Progress - Working the Hair

Things are starting to get hairy

Another Wip of the Big Guy

ZBrush Male Bust

Just messing around with Dynamesh and getting use to ZBrush again. I want to add wrinkles and more asymmetry details could push the smerk some more too.  Had fun doing it so hope to create more soon.
