Making progress...

Nothing much to say, just fleshing more stuff out. The huge forearms are inspired by Stranger of OddWorld Strangers Wrath. Which is what I was playing when I first came up with this character back in 05.

Glimmer

So in August of 08 I wrote a script for a short comic. It was a story I came up with when I was still living in North Carolina. I've wanted to do a comic for a long time but I am very poor at self motivating.

I'm going to try and give it a go now, but no promises. :) Right now, I am thinking of having the main character be 3d. This will allow me to 1) practice my zbrush skills 2) get over my poor character dynamic drawing skills and 3) help with my overall lack on consistency from panel to panel.

I may even do the backgrounds in 3d as well. I'll see how long my interest in this lasts. :)

This was the concept painting... it's pretty old... about a year or 2...


My current zbrush progress...

Brutal!

So with E3 days away there has been a bunch of news coming out. Obviously the announcement of Drawn to Live was a big one for me. But I also worked on Brutal Legend last year. While this game has been shown quite a bit in the past few months, today is the first time my art showed up in a screen shot!

My, what a magnificent castle!

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter

Has been announced. So this is what I worked on after my short stint at Double Fine on Brutal Legend.

Although for the past 2 months I have been on a different project, the game is looking really great. It's nice to see it with eyes that are fresh. I miss that team but I know they are kicking ass!

I did a bunch of early concepts on the game and a lot of work on the jungle levels I hope they will show before long. Any way here is the trailer. I still don't know why publishers feel the need to show people playing Wii games. It comes off as so cheesy, oh well...

As the dust settles...

Whew! After 2 YEARS of trying to complete a Dominance War, I can now say I have! I have no dillusion of placing in the finalists, but I am proud of my entry nonetheless. I learned A LOT by doing this. I can safely say that my next zbrush attempt will be even better. For now though, I want to play some video games! Oh and a shout out to Jeremy Huxley, and Eric Maki, without them I wouldn't have even known where to start! Also to Sandi for crtitiqueing my piece and giving me excellent advice!

So without futher ado, here is what I submitted!

Getting close...

All I have to do is rig up Myu and finish the base the end is in sight!

The Wars End Draws Near...

Finished my diffuse map. Now I Need to work on the spec, finish the base, rig and pose this bad boy all with just under a week! I can do this!
