Nowhere But Here

Thumbnail Sketch, Digital Sketch, Blocking, Progress and Final Render

When I drew this up i wanted it to have somewhat of a nostalgic quality. I wanted it to feel like home, long forgotten. And i wanted it to feel like a person would take a journey here to remember something past.

Block 41

Blocking pass, Progress, and Final Pass

This was a fun project, lots of complex and simple shapes where brought together to make this feel interesting.

Swimming with the fishies W.I.P

This is a work in progress of a diver i just started. All The hard surfaces are cleanly modeled in Maya, and the organics are being sculpted in Zbrush. I am roughing in some of the details.Next I will add some to the trousers next then the gloves.

Troll (Mental Ray Rendered version)

Wireframe, Sculpt, Normals, Render

A troll who resides in the natural environment of the forests. Originally kind hearted, years of being seen as a monster has hardened his heart.

Shack

Blocking Pass, Normal Pass, And Final Render

I wanted this to feel like a place where a very grumpy person who had a very mundane job lived. but regardless of his dark circumstances there still remained a sense of beauty and peace.

Johnny Eclaire and his chest full of hair

Animation Stills and Color Studies

My character Johnny Eclaire. he is from a short story i wrote and animated about a young boy with too much chest hair for his age who tries to get rid of it. He eventually discovers that sometimes the things you hate the most about yourself are some of your greatest qualities.

My Buddy (Maya Software Render)

Software: Maya, Photoshop, Maya software Renderer.

This is a Nurbs Model based on my favorite guitar. I broke him about a year ago, but he will live on forever in this digital reproduction, It pretty much looks exactly like my old guitar did, dents and all.

Troll (Real Time Version)

This is the low poly Real time version of my troll character. Its amazing how much detail you can get from a normal map. You can almost swear that the mole under his nose and the ridges on his head are modeled and not mapped.

Franklin Street - Real Time Model

This is a game model of a building on Franklin street. It is 1,188 triangles and is rendered in the unreal engine. Complete with Occlusion, Color, Normal, and Specular Samples.

Soldier (Real Time)

My Soldier, Mapped and Rendered in Real Time with Specular, Normal and Color Maps.

Sketches

The character on the right has an odd job where he Carry's and protects various cargo on his back. Sometime its hazardous materials. The container is extremely heavy and it requires someone of his stature to carry it.

Character Sketches

These are a few character sketches. I tried to mix up the techniques i used from simplistic shapes, to shapes that had more form to them. I also tried to implement some dynamic poses into the characters to make them feel as if they were moving and keep some life in them.
