This was a bit of a dissapointment to me. I wanted to make this a nice render with mental ray. But I modeled it Z, and couldn't reconstuct the subdivision surface (because I had triangles), to layout the UV's. So it was too many polies to pull into Maya or anything else. So this will sadly remain nothing more than a Z brush turn-table. This is where I wanted to take it.

my hard surface modeling

I've been working on getting my modeling reel together, but made some time to make this squash and strectch tutorial for my coworker Armondo. If you want to get the bare basics of animation in 3-d, and have a copy of Maya, feel free to try this out. you can download the file here...

Just enter the code in the upper right hand corner.

here's the last digital painting I'll be doin for a while. I gotta get back to some modeling now. But this one was a lot of fun, and I learned from it.

I like it, it's a milestone for me, I learned a bit for this one.

I haven't posted anything in a while. I've been busy on a commission. But here's to Obama. I sadly feel like I'm the first American to say congratulations to our president on winning the peace prize.

seein dame do all these beautiful black women in high contrast, i got inspired.

I'm calling it done

this is a half finished idea. i didn't finish painting the blocks and can't figure out a solution I like with it yet. so I'm posting it for now and maybe i'll come back and finish it later

here's a new one. I painted this in photoshop. it took an hour n half. but it's the first time really doing something like this. I'm confident my next one will be better and faster. :) So I'm wondering if I should fix this and finish it or just move onto the next one.

Hey, I've been busy lately but I'm going to have some new stuff up within the next few days. I got a little time off, and my wacom pen. :)

I'm going to completely model out cell from Dragon Ball Z. This is the face so far. David Munoz Velazquez's Freeza was the inspiration to do this.
