Creature Base Mesh

Well, I finalized the base mesh for my creature model, and my friend is working on rigging it, so we're making progress.  I also experimented with the Arnold renderer a bit - lighting the scene and using a couple of skin shaders.

 

 

Creature Progress

Well, we`re getting somewhere...

Work Doodles

I grabbed a few of my doodles that I liked out of my notebook that I use at work for various things.  I usually end up sketching while waiting for things like AO bakes and approval renders.

Elephant Creatures and Corgis

So I`m still working away these days.  Now on a different show - Endangered Species - so I haven`t had much time for personal work or for posting the stuff I do have, but I do get a few little things done, and I`m doing a small project with a friend.  Here are some sketches of the elephant-like creature he chose from the lineup posted earlier.  Just wanted to do some poses to get a feel for things and play with some colors.

I also drew my friend Brittani as some kind of corgi-riding samurai.  Yeah.

Some drawings

Since Vancouver is such a beautiful city, I like to go out and sketch people and places sometimes.  Here's a few pages' worth of sketches from my little sketchbook that I carry around.

My friend, an animator, wanted a creature to animate, so I designed a few, and he'll chose one he wants modeled.

In other news, I am a unicorn.

All the Beautiful Creatures

This is a drawing I did a while back and had forgotten to post. 

Little update

Well, from this blog, it looks like I fell off the face of the planet or stopped trying to do any more work, but in reality I'm just really busy at work all the time.  After working on Monster High for a little over a year, I've been moved to another series that's pretty early in production.  Hopefully the other things I've worked on will air soon so I'll have something to post.  In the meantime, every now and then I try to get a little further finishing this guy.  Now that he's posable, I just need to refine his tail fuzz and he should be good to go.
