014 - Chicken
The ass end of the teaching year has prevented my from doing much at all in the way of drawing....a real bloody shame. I had to skip two recent CTT submissions at Unit 16, but Redfive's creepy chicken got some attention...voila....

013 - Mermillo
When I was reading Asterix and the Gladiator about 100 years ago, I just loved the fact that it taught me the name of the gldaiators called Mermillo's....and I just loved the name. this is about as rough as a sketch gets, but I'm working towards developing one of these guys up in 3D....
012 - A Reptillian Champion...incomplete
A recent effort for the CTT...Scobot presented me with an enjoybale challenge. Unfortunately extraodinarily beutiful october weather prevented me from finishing it appropriatly....a task I will fulfill in the near future.

011 - Spaceman
I was just mucking around with silhouettes for another little project, and some cool stuff started to happen, and so this sort of materialised. A bit different to my usual approach, but worth looking into the technique further....

010 - Starting out in 3D
One of the results of a recent course studying 3DS Max....concept through to final rigged model, ready for animation. Part of a group project and a lot of fun...
The one and only concept sketch, cobbled together on the train...
One of a about a dozen colour concepts, and the one actually chosen to move forward with...
A screen shot of the model...no textures yet...
...and the final model textured up. Details give an idea of the bump maps used to differentiate between the different areas of his skin. The main texture was just loosely painted in Photoshop, and the scales were blended over this. The 'chalky' transition between the two areas was a fortunate accident...a result of simply seeing what would happen if the same texture was applied as a bump map 'as is'. We then played with inverting this to get an appropriate rise and fall...

008 - Line Art
The following are some examples of line art...some which evolved into finished colour pieces, and some which unfortunately did not...
007 - Thor
The Norse Mythology activity at Unit 16 prompted this beefcake....if my anatomy is even remotely correct, methinks I've maybe twisted his biceps 90 degrees forward....nevermind, another fun pick to draw....
006 - A Curious Robot
This is a character I have been working on for some time. I will be posting more down the track, but this image is a key scene in a short film I've had on the back burner for some time, and finally brought back to the fore...what's he looking at I wonder?
