Water Bear

This little guy was made in Zbrush.  The Water Bear, aka Tardigrade, is a microscopic organism who is incredibly determined to live.  They can survive without food or water for 10 years, then can rehydrate and live again as if nothing happened.  These little guys can live in a vacuum and have been successfully sent to outer space and have survived.  They can withstand radiation, insane temperatures and just keep on keepin' on. They are 1 millimeter long and have little claws on their legs.  They live in moss and lichen and are frequently found in water bodies.

This guy that I made was started as in Zbrush as poly-sphere and then was sculpted with DynaMesh.  He was colored in Zbrush and is featured on a black background to see detail.

Prison Cell

This scene was done in Maya with the help of Headus & Photoshop.  It is based on a 2D image and then recreated as a 3D space.  I used particle effects for the fabrics.  Included are images of the model without textures and also without the lighting rendered.  I have included my sketches for this project.

Western Town

This scene was initially created by another person, however I have done all the textures and a great deal of modeling.  I modeled and textured the single story building as well as the smaller assets including a wagon wheel, barrel, and hanging sign.  I have included sketches, my color palette, and UV sheet.  This project was completed in Maya with Headus and Photoshop and was rendered in Mental Ray.

Steller's Jay

I created this guy by first sketching out my ideas.  I then took it into Photoshop to do a color study of the project and decide if he should be 2d or 3d. I am currently working on modeling the bird in Maya, so there's some progress shots included.  He will also have hydraulic feet, so that should be interesting to design!

Please stay tuned as I am continuously working to create new art and will post it on here once it's ready.
