Hyewon the zombie!



Hyewon was generous enough to lend me her pretty face for this fun venture! i planned to make this for a business card but ran out of time, seeing i have a ton of stuff to fold in 1 month..

i did a livestream on a Pri's public artist challenge The Art Tavern. Thanks for composing this timelapse for me Pri!

Red Zues- The Explorer's Ship


So the last 3D piece im doing for the next few month is an RC airship. which i intend to fly around comiccon. Unfortunately we are seated way in the back of the con.. at k10. so i intend to fly around a blimp in order to help draw attention to my booth.

either way i think it would be cool to get into a line of custom made papercraft airships. i think those would go over pretty well. so this is the first. very simple. straight to the point. i have about 30 hours of 3D production time left then i HAVE to focus on other things so im hopin i can knock this out by next weekend.

herers a look at the base mesh. its unwrapped and ready for ambient occlusion and texturing. but ill spend a few hours tomorrow nite doin a rough paint over. that way im not rushing into the texture blind.

Ghost busters- 3D completion

finally completed the Ghostbusters. not too pleased with the outcome of the GBs but i do like Slimer. of course it looks completely different when folded.  well this completes the lines ill be introducing at the ECCC.

the last thing i ll make is a RC paper Airship which ill be flying around during the Con. you ll see posts on that soon enough!

Ghost Busters-Color Pass


Added Slimer and did a color pass that took longer than i would have liked. kinda think i could have worked out all of that while texturing but its good to have the 2D. will be spending the next days on model and rig. i hope to get this stuff knocked out as quickly as possible.

Ghost Busters


Fleshing out the style on this latest line. have yet do do a color pass but ill get to that when ive slept more. heres a look at some lines. im looking for a look that is closer to the movie characters. but am simplifying the gear in preparation for a quick build in 3D.

Still considering the 3D approach but id like to get back to my roots of Low Poly/Low Texture Res "Video Game" style of quality. something i feel is now almost forgotten as well as highly unappreciated due to the market flood of NexGen capabilities. LONG LIVE THE PIXELS!

Terminator - 3D completion

all 4 heads have been brought to completion. all that remains is pepakura and fold up. i intend to have a handful of these at ECCC.

next up on the list of possible lines: the Ghost busters, Hulk vs Wolverine, Airships+Zeplins, as well is a handful of other random creatures. Lets hope i can squeeze as much of that into the next 5 weeks as possible! all of march is dedicated to folding!

Terminator - 3D update

4 heads modeled but im only showing the ones if textured Reese and Sarah
the mesh is very simple but holds the silhouette just how i like. i used the same colors from the concept but slapped a couple layer adjustments on top to pop it out a bit. these textures are goin very quick (4-5hrs) and im very pleased with the style transition from concept to 3D model. just cant wait to see it all folded..

hope you like :D
