Chinny Chin-Chin


I almost feel like this could be a poster. An iconic mech mask...helmet, thingy, slap some quote from the series..or OOH! "Angels are coming." I might make that a SIDE, side project.

Anyways, I added the chin-jaw for tonight. Gonna step into high gear for the horse's anatomy, tomorrow.

I don't know why, but I seem to like the grayed out color, rather than the purple and neon green.

EVA Helmet. Action. GO!


Just a side shot of the head gear that is worn by an Evangelion Unit, 01 to be precise. It's an anime about humans fighting what they refer to as "angels" with large mech robots, which are piloted by children about 12-16. Took the weekend, in between other projects, Game of Thrones, and sleep. :|
Will be working on it when I'm not doing other stuff. Not my first Mech style model, but it's been a long time.

Bandit - Blank finished


Wunderbar! Bandit is ready for Zbrush! Messing around little more with Vector rendering as well. His first photo op, previous to this one, wasn't his best day, he also looked more like a dog. Figured out the head, eyes was a real mind boggler. I found out that I was subconsciously modeling him for rigging so I toned down the edge-loops. Onto Zbrush !

Horsey


Meet Bandit. 
My overly basic, majorly malnourished colt model. I've not yet decided on feeding him miracle grow or breed, specifically Clydesdale. His name comes from the way I haven't controlled the way his eyes should look. Oh topology, how you are mystery to venturing pioneers traversing your foggy waters.

This is going to be a blank mesh to take into Zbrush and sculpt me some anatomy! Still going to work on his head, too much noise going on. Tally-Ho!

Abs-olutely in Shape

Puns! Terrible puns!

Been working on that blank mesh in Zbrush in between animating, hopefully this week brings better progress. Mostly done with thesis, just need to get some final critiques this week, but ABS that's what this guys is about and the serratus, as well. My dad didn't think this was a muscle. I told him I just amplified this guy's to a fantastical proportion. Wish I was in this good a shape... :l

Dino Binge[animation]

Quite recently for some reason I fell into some sort of dinosaur frenzy. Picked up a book that didn't have pictures in it...AND READ IT...okay, I'm still reading it, but it's Jurassic Park. I never knew there were some big differences between the book and movie. D: I also got a hold of a new rig from the awesome Joel Anderson, his T-rex is A-mazing! Spent a few hours today, not the first time I've animated it, as the first session I forgot to save progress[quite a bit, in fact], then my stupid, yet sexily powerful computer updated itself, then restarted without my consent[THE NERVE!] and POOF! no more animation, only a single playblast to remind me of where I left off.

 I can't help, but somewhat be thankful, as that version compared to this current one was atrocious. I think I was on medication and VERY sleepy. BUUUUT alas, another one of those "you have about 10,000 bad [insert art preference here] in you, before you get better. Definitely for the better on this one.
