Working Man

Hey guys, I just started an internship at Zombie Studios in Seattle. So I'm probably not gonna be posting very often, if ever, for the next couple months. I know you're all very disappointed but I'm sure you'll get over it =P

Anyway, see you guys around.

New and Improved

So I wasn't quite happy with the finished product last time so I spent a little bit more time with it. Got a little more texture in the and made the composition a little more interesting. Not sure if the head in the foreground reads but I still think it's a lot better. Anyway, you kids stay cool.

Lighting and Anatomy Study

Here is a relatively quick study I did using an old reference photo of myself. I organized the layers so that there ended up being a nice step by step process thingy. Anyway, it turned out decent so I figured I'd throw it up here.

Zombies Nooooo!!!

I've been meaning to check out a tutorial I found the other day for painting in photoshop for a while now. I don't think it turned out quite as interesting as I would have liked but it was definitely faster than my usual way of doing things. I really need to work on my contrast. All my values are usually to close together. Anyway, I think I'm ready to move on to something else. I'll probably fiddle with the technique a bit more in the future. I could see it being useful when time is a big issue.

Mech Starting Texture

For those of you who are paying attention, I posted my concept and original model for this guy back in January. Now that it's summer I finally have had time to unwrap and texture him. Also the poly count is dramatically lower. Right now he's sitting at about 4500 polygons where as he was originally three times that many. He's nowhere near complete but I figured I'd throw him up here anyway. We'll see how he looks in the next couple weeks.

WIPs

Well life has been crazy lately, and in between finals, moving into a new place, and being sick I haven't had much time to do stuff. But there have been a few moments in between where I've been able to take a break and do a little art on the side. I've recently started sketching in photoshop which is nice. It didn't take me nearly as long to adjust to drawing with a tablet as I thought it would. Anyway, I haven't had time to finish anything but here are a couple WIPs for you guys to check out, there are a bunch of sketches I've been working on also but nothNot sure if I'm liking the middle one, but the other two are turning out relatively decent. The top one has been fun, I very rarely do environment stuff so it has been a welcomed change of pace.

Stuffy Noses and Sore Throats

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been pretty sick lately. Anyway, these are a few things I've been working on for a buddy of mine who is trying to get a start up company going called Algitt Studios. You should check 'em out.
