2011-03-09T22:37:00.004-08:00

I have been traveling around the world and have ended up in Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. During my stay i have been working in the city. I was asked to design a logo for a start up company working with Locums here in Australia.

Some designs I came up with. It is still in the process of being chosen. I will be in Western Africa working on some animation and hope to pick up some more designing there. Where ever I travel to I will work.

One is of a room that wasn't used for a work related render. The other renders are me playing around with lighting, etc

russian jet

2008-10-15T23:20:00.004-07:00

Here I have rebuilt a russian jet. I am still adding stuff such as textures and shaders

a dude

2008-09-19T16:17:00.003-07:00

I thought that having not updated my blog it was time to post something. As far as my other models I have already built another jet, a Russian Tupelov jet, the same one I had almost finished building. The reason for this is that I had lost everything on my portable hard drive. Yes, that is right. The only solution is to do it again, but this time better. Believe me it is a pain. Lession learned. BACK UP YOUR STUFF(no matter how many copies you need just do it. It's worth it). However, it was during the process that I was backing up my 3d stuff that it happened. On the the brighter side of things I have decided to post a render of a dude I have been working on for a client. So here it is. There are still changes to be done on this model.

Eppstein Railway Station

2008-08-01T00:13:00.003-07:00

Here is a German railway station I have started to build.

I have unfortuneatley not been able to access my recent Tupelov plane model and my massive texture library on my portable hardrive.

Not really wanting to give it up. In the mean time I have had the inspiration to build this model. Hopefully I can finish it.

Tu-154

2008-06-11T20:49:00.003-07:00

I thought I was done building this plane. Well, not quite. None the less it is looking even better.

An avatar I drew for my grad page. I always had yogurt for lunch.

However, I was able to go a Lecture through Sigraph Vancouver. The lecture was the art of Sig Mead. At the age of 75 and still producing art work and Designs. Sig has been working since the sixties.

Just last week I saw another lecture, but this time it was the director of Antz and Over the Hedge.

Air France

2008-04-18T16:35:00.010-07:00

these are pics I have got so far. Still adjusting it .. I know I have added several pics. I wanted to show my progress.

fixed the cockpit of Boeing

2008-04-11T12:16:00.004-07:00

Here is another shot. Bigger Jpeg this time. BNow I have to texture the engine, Wing and landing gear.

Since building this model I was inspired to put it into an inviroment. Perhaps an Airport hanger with machinary and other vehicles. last would be to light it.

I say it always helpes when you have inspiration.

The first pic is from before. I just wanted to show one form before the texture ad one form after( that contains a shader).

Boeing 737-300

2008-04-11T01:44:00.004-07:00

Here I have just finished modeling the plane and am beginning to texture it. getting the materials to works. 1st test. just practice

more Plane

2008-04-07T20:04:00.003-07:00

Beginning to texture. Need to find pics of wheels for reference. Here is what I got. My Daily Update.

Boeing Model

2008-04-05T21:46:00.003-07:00

A quick build. Modeled in 1 day. Some idea poped up in my mind. I figure I could model this in quickly. I first thought I would only model a jet engine. Why? I needed a break from working on my other projects. Eventually it turned into something more. I figure I will texture it and get what I can in two days.

Rendering practice

2008-04-04T01:03:00.001-07:00

Still Working on it.

still working on

2008-03-28T17:07:00.003-07:00

this is what I am still working on. I haven't made any posts recently. What I have planned for my Opera House is to fix textures, Lighting and the shot or cmaera angle.

For my Opera Singer I have since changed the costume and fixed the hair. Afro hair is certainly hard to produce.

hairToday isn't going so well

2008-03-19T15:03:00.004-07:00

Yep. My hy hair in XSI is getting pretty interesting. Trying to model afro hair. It's a stlye that isn't done too often. However, my knowledge isn't as vast as it is in maya. I thinking that I might just stick to Maya and modeling some sphere in Z Brush. Here is some quick model in both maya and XSI.

Opera Woman

2008-03-18T23:29:00.002-07:00

Getting to be done soon. I should have created another light. Tomorrow I will focus on that. Rigging is next, so no more T-pose. oh yeah. I must not forget my specular map.

Curtain oh yeah

2008-02-27T23:42:00.002-08:00

Texturing curtains for my Opera House. I feel they look alot like curtians from a movie house and not from an Opera House.

plane

2008-01-22T13:38:00.000-08:00

This is an actual model plane. Known As the Goblin Parasite. It never served any airforce. All aircraft were with US marking. I however decided to give it Belgian markings.

I didn't smooth out the model. I didn't spend much time texturing. You can see how it dosen't match up. I needed to give it something.

maya bathroom

2007-12-11T22:16:00.000-08:00

Something I quickly modeled in maya.

a very quick colouring

2007-10-19T19:48:00.001-07:00

I spent under five minutes colouring this. I thought I might while waiting for the bus at cap.

skinny girl

2007-10-19T19:26:00.000-07:00

some waitress

2007-10-04T16:42:00.001-07:00

Yeah, this picture is not finished.

I am working in photoshop. Still trying to get brush techniques. So far I have been able to try to paint hair.

Check back for some more pics.

I must say the look of the waitress looks like some freakish women. I didn't spend much time on the eyes as you can see.

Girl

2007-10-03T19:58:00.000-07:00

This is just a girl I drew in a few minutes. I know it's been a long time since I have paid any attention to my blog. This year I am attending a 3d animation program. Sitting in front of a computer for a whole year. I have no excuse for not updating my blog.

No shoes or feet. Well, I simply ran out of space on the paper which for my is common. I always draw something right next to the edge of the page.

The plan is to colour her in photoshop.

But for now. A quick sketch

Life Drawing

2007-04-11T23:50:00.000-07:00

Here are some recent life drawing sketches. I must say I am not completely satisfied with them, but I feel I should post some.

Ibiza dude

2007-04-04T14:35:00.000-07:00

Here is the revised pose.

Shetch of some dude

2007-03-29T18:14:00.000-07:00

This sketch I still have to fix. For one thing what exactly are the arms doing as well as the expression. Hmmm maybe the whole thing.

The clean up was done in flash and the colouring in photoshop.

Martini Women

2007-03-05T21:35:00.000-08:00

I drew this last night, while I was sipping my appletini. hmmm.

Bad Luck

2007-02-18T19:07:00.000-08:00

I don't want to be mean. It does happen. As you can see I did spend a little time on colouring this illustration. Maybe a little to much. However, it is alot better than the last one I coloured.

Fridays quick sketch

2007-02-16T19:36:00.000-08:00

Here are two sketches I did today. The first sketch I got influenced by Samurai Jack.

a quick sketch

2007-02-15T17:38:00.000-08:00

I don't know what I was thinking. Some cowgirl.

It was just a quick sketch.

It is amazing what one can draw when trying to design a character. I was trying to design a fat dude for an asignment. Some how I drew some cowgirl instead.

Phobia

2007-02-12T23:17:00.000-08:00

Maybe this is too vague. Shurely someone must have a phobia towards flying. Hah, this is a terrrible job of my colouring in Photoshop, but I had to get it done.

basic design

2007-02-10T21:32:00.000-08:00

This may not be much of a character, but all drawings start with a basic design. Something I definitely need to work on. I shall try to post more.

2006-10-31T17:59:00.000-08:00

A little colour to my drawing will make it look better. However I still have much to learn.
