Bee Animation

2009-09-28T00:27:00.000-07:00

Hi Folks, here is the bee animation that I worked on. My job was just the animation itself. My friend Clayton Peterson worked on the texture of the bee. I've broken it into three stages. The bee's wings didn't look fast enough, so in the comp work, I had to blur the wings to make them look even faster. Anyway, hope you enjoy it. Thanks

An image was running around in my head of a male character with a hole in his chest and hands. I didn't want to see his face but design something that would look great in silhouette. Again, this is just for sketching purpose. Hope enjoy it. Cheers

I wanted to sketch a woman holding up her arm in front of her. In the end, I came up with this. An Arabic Queen looking at her crystal ball. It was meant to just be a doodle from the imagination of my head. Anyway, hope you enjoy it as much as I love sketching. Until next time, cheers.

I started learning ZBrush for the first time. The next day, I put my learning to the test and this is what came from it. It was just an exercise to see what I can do with ZBrush. Any, I hope you enjoy it. Cheers

Stone Guardian

2008-05-16T04:12:00.000-07:00

I decided to create a creature that had something different and unique to him. His body is made out of sand underneath his rock armour. His lower body can cast fireballs from his hands for distance battles and his shield and spear for close combat. Well that's my thinking for this character. Anyway.... will be posting more soon and until then, cheers for now.
