Here's a little in-between work / work break thing I've been playing with. Kinda getting bored with it, so I might just abandon it as it is, but any thoughts are always welcome. Happy New Year folks :)

The latest theme over at Art Bot Central (our blog at work) was Saturday Morning Cartoons. I wanted to do something a little different with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I hope everyone in the Nation has a great and Happy New Year!

William W.I.P.

Made some progress over the last couple days on this dude. I think he was looking too old before so I made him look younger and finished up his hair. I also explored an evil smile pose. I hope to have other emotions sculpted eventually.

Night Kind

Hey all, here's an update from me I know it's been a while.  Marco and I are doing a friendly little "VS." project where I'm doing a series of concepts for a Vampire race and he's doing the Werewolf race.  It's all for fun and we're just trying to push each other. This is my first concept, he's just a citizen of the race.  Stay tuned and we'll be sure to post the rest of the series in the near future.

hope y'all dig 'em!

ImagineFX cover and random pieces + step-by-step

Hi all! You're still kicking ass and being just awesome. I just want to share some stuff that I can, since it's been a while from my last update. Lots of stuff still under NDA, but I can show you this ImagineFX cover that I did!

I also included few random personal pieces, and a step-by-step, since I've been asked to do one for once. If anyone finds it fun to go through my process, then I'm happy :)

Also, I'm job hunting for a full-time position within Europe, so if anyone's got an idea, I'd appreciate it! :)

Keep rocking guys, you make my day!

Trailer Hood Redesign

So about 4 years ago me and Matt had this idea for a graphic novel that never got any further than a few character descriptions and some rough sketches. It was called 'TrailerHood' and one of the characters that I came up with was a little boy named, 'William Pumkin'. He was the only one I took to completion (see old drawings at the top) and I even created a sculpy maquette of him. I recently started going back to these characters and I'm wanting to make them all in zbrush and then someday pose them all for a big group render.

What inspired me to revisit this guy was a movie my wife and I watched called, 'Son of Rambow'. The bully in the movie totally reminded me of William so I took a picture of him from the movie and liquified and painted the image to match what I envisioned for the character.
So this is where I'm at after just a couple of hours. I'm still adding the hair pieces, (which takes forever) and then I have a bunch of expressions that I want to post as soon as I finish the teeth. Hope you guys dig it.
