Triumph & tragedy

First off I would like to extend my thoughts and well wishes to the friends and family of today’s horrible events at Virginia Tech.  I am very sorry that this kind of thing continues to happen and I hope that this does not start some new trend.  Again, you are all in my thoughts.

On a lighter note, I finally have my computer up and running without any kinks.  I made some final renders of a few of my latest projects which can be found under the Models section.  I have also been working on a website for my former highschool art teacher Mr. Heaton.  I am having a lot of fun with it and I hope it turns out to be something they really enjoy.  More updates will be coming soon as I start to finish up my current projects and demo reel.

Workage!

Here are some more shots from recent updates of projects. The first is the updated turtle shell with texturing almost complete. The second is a t-shirt design I started last night.

What the shell looks like so far.Here's my work so far on this design.

Packer Creek Pottery.

The past couple weeks I have been working on not only my artwork, but a business website as well. Working alongside my brother and his fiancé to create a website for their workplace has been a lot of fun. The thought behind the project was to make a simple and easy to use marketplace for selling the company’s pottery. I also needed to make it efficient, easy to operate and of course easy to update for people who did not know their way around html and css. It was fun teaching them how to use and update the site and we feel that this new site will make it much easier for them to reach markets that were not open to them before. Plus it is exciting that it has only been up for two days and people are already ordering. We are adding more products in the near future, so feel free to check it out* or even do some shopping!

* This site is no longer maintained by me and does not represent my quality of work.

More works in progress!

So maybe I have been starting too many new projects as of late, but I just can’t help it. I get excited when I think of an idea. Anyway, here are some more works in progress. The first is a Metroid I am working on. The grayscale images are of the high res models and the color one is the in game model and texture I derived from the high poly model. The next image is of a turtle I am working on, which is stylized after Verne from the movie Over the Hedge. He was one of my favorite designs for a character so I thought it would be fun to emulate the design and see what I could come up with. I will have more updates soon!

The metroid is composed of two parts.Still in progress but coming along nicely.

Works in progress.

Well I have been busy modeling the past few days and thought it might be nice to post of some of my current works in progress. The posted pics are of my Humpback whale, Minotaur, and Dilophosaurus projects. The whale is nearly finished, the minotaur just needs some detailing on his horns and maybe I’ll texture him, and the Dilophosaurus is my most recent endeavor. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed creating them! Planning to have more updates soon of a couple of my other projects which include, a couple buildings, a recreation of Samus from Metroid, and some more low poly characters.

Coming along.I am really liking the way he is turning out.Still have some work to do on him.
