Brainsss...

The first of many... a beautiful Zombie (inspired by the Digital Tutors course - Zombie Concept). Had so much fun doing this, and it made me realise how much easier it is to draw on this tablet than my old one. Took a couple of hours in total and was some good practice.

New Tablet!

I recently purchased a Wacom Intuos 5 (Medium) and am loving it. Coming from an old Bamboo Pen & Touch to this is a dream. Will be doing a fair bit of Digital Painting now as I'll have alot of concepts to do for upcoming projects. Let the fun begin!

Kaboom - Test 1

Just dipping my toes into the realms of Maya Fluids. It isn't an area that I want to particularly focus on, but I want a decent understanding of how they work and what not. Here is the first test of many... wanted it to be a small explosion, turned out to be more of a volcanic eruption. 

Space Invader!

Been a bit quiet on this front lately. Have been working on a few things but nothing to upload on to here. Anyways, here is another simple model I made the other day that I would like to use for some Compositing practice.

South Downs Walkies

My girlfriend and I went for an awesome walk yesterday to the South Downs. What we thought was an 8.5 mile trail, turned out to be a 15-16 mile one. The weather was perfect, and we got to see some amazing views, loads of hot air balloons and a few Biplanes circling around. Here's a couple panoramic's and one of my favourite pictures from the day.

Weighted Companion Cube

"GLaDOS: The Enrichment Center is required to remind you that the Weighted Companion Cube cannot talk. In the event that it does talk The Enrichment Centre asks you to ignore its advice. "


So here is something I have been working on which will be practice for future projects. As a fan of Portal I thought this would be a nice little test. I modelled it last year but never got around to doing anything with it.The idea behind this is mainly to get a better understanding of shaders, using HDRi's, and eventually putting it into footage for Tracking and Compositing practice and eventually... there will be cake.

The Waiter

Here it is! The final image 'The Waiter' mini-project. I've hung up on it far too long and I want to get other projects under the way. I have learnt a great deal from this but I want to move on and create more characters and delve into more depth with material creation and rigging.

I hope you like it, and there will be more to come soon!

Owwww!

Another oldie I've decided to breath life into. Once again, not really sure how this came about. Just one of those ideas you get in your head, put down on paper and think... what did I just draw? Either way... enjoy!

Ancient.

Here's a quick one I decided to add some colour too before bed. I did this year's ago whilst I was still in confusion as to what I wanted to do with my life. I envied my friend's who knew what they wanted to do from a young age...

He sure does love his bike...

Here is another old bit of artwork that I have only just got round to giving some life too - my homage to Full Throttle - an old Point & click by LucasArts. My inspiration to do this came from my good friends Kev and Dan who did a 'Let's Play' of the game. Click HERE to go ahead and begin the journey to watch them play through it. 

I loved how Ben would always state the obvious when observing an object, and this became the idea behind this picture.
