noblewoman with base colors

Here is the noblewoman in marmoset, I have created a base diffuse and specular map. I will continue to work on it, and hopefully put the designs from my concept onto it.

noblewoman, 3D

I "finalized" the concept for the noblewoman, and decided to model her in 3d. Attached are images of it in Zbrush, Maya, and with the concept.

phanaeus Vindex (complete)

After quite a few hours of tinkering with the diffuse, specular, and normal maps, I have completed the phaneus Vindex model. Here is a render of it in Marmoset Toolbag. Hopefully I will be able to update my portfolio website soon. A late Happy New Years to all!

Yet another human skull study

I made this in ZBrush. It still needs some refinement, but I thought I would post it anyways in order to get some feedback on the basic shape and proportions.

phanaeus Vindex

I felt like modeling a beetle yesterday, so here is the start of a model of phanaeus Vindex, more commonly known as the Rainbow Scarab. I started out by gathering as many references as I could, and then I set up the scene in Autodesk Maya 2010. Next, I sculpted the details in ZBrush. I made some final changes in Photoshop to the textures, and created a basic specular map. Finally, I imported the model and textures into the Marmoset Toolbag to render it.

I imagine that I will further modify this model sometime soon. I also plan to do a lot more traditional work, especially acrylic painting.

WIP Roman General

I decided to make another character model for my portfolio, so I created a Roman General. Here is my progress on it so far, I did realtime renders of it in the Marmoset Toolbag. Software I used included ZBrush, Maya 2010, and Photoshop.

Self Portrait in ZBrush

I made this today in ZBrush. It was a little awkward for me trying to balance both a mirror and my tablet on my lap as I worked, but nonetheless I managed to get it done. I may revisit it eventually or start from scratch sometime.

Bear model

I recently purchased ZBrush at home, and decided to make a bear model. I started it in ZBrush, and then imported it into Maya. I created the specular map in Photoshop.

ZBrush Patrick Stewart Sculpt

Here is a sculpt I did in Zbrush of Patrick Stewart. I am going to try to do several head sculpts over the next month in order to improve my anatomy and zBrush skills.

Work in Progress: Catacomb Slasher

For a FuturePoly zBrush class that I have been taking, I am creating a sculpt (and eventually low poly bake) of a Catacombs Slasher, a creature concepted by Jaime Jones. I have about 2 weeks left of the class, and hope to finish it by then and possibly place it in my portfolio to demonstrate my ability to work from a concept.
