Paradrag

Another sculpt from tonight! ...I dont think I can sculpt a dragon without some Laurel A influences creeping in, It is physically impossible, heh. :)

Chitin Boy

Another sculpt I did tonight for the write up.. glad i did a little more than the head with this one but it could be a bit more interesting... welp! sleepy time! ^_^

Oh deer..

Sculpted this little fella tonight for my write-up, with a little bit of Photoshop Fiddle™ after. I'll get to doing some more aggressive creatures next, as well as something that's more intelligent and isnt just one subtool and has armour/decorations.

Rufflebuck

I haven't really posted any new work in like a month.. Here's a creature sculpt I made for fun. The name 'Rufflebuck' comes to mind. Heh. :) This guy and more to come will be part of a write up im doing for something so hopefully I'll post some more stuff very soon..

Although, I've been making a conscious effort to try and finish existing personal work before moving onto too many new things, ive made some good progress on my Panda guy and beginning to figure out where im going with the Junky Mech model too. I think it's healthy for me to see things through a little longer and apply more understanding.

I dont feel the rush to abandon things so quickly as i used to..

And that's very good. :)

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition - Closer images

Did a bunch of stuff for this, will go through and pick out some stuff, for now, here's a few creature/character shots from stuff I worked on updating for the ultimate edition with the fine folks at the Coalition!

I will update this post with more, when possible.

EDIT:

Brumak images

A 4 Year Old M4

I found this in a folder, completely forgot i made this like 4 years ago, figure i'll just dump it here for archive sake, and i think it still reads somewhat clean. (Im sure the gun nuts would disagree but whatever, hah)

edit:

oh yeah, i even made some animations at the time, haha!

Good times...and i dont even really like weapons that much, i wish i had the willpower to go as far with personal work as i did back then!

Inktober 15

Inktober Venom snake..with a twist.

I played around with depthy on this sketch for fun as I'm a huge fan of the loose, sketchy animatics of MGS:portable ops. (Caaaalling to the Niiiiight).

One day, when I have overcome my crippling addiction to being incompetent I wanna make my own animatic short story. :) Until then, have a wobbly head.

Also, I'm aware many of the images on this blog arent loading anymore, this is because Cubeupload has gone tits up lately, im going to try and reupload everything this weekend, and just use the blog itself for uploading

edit:

wow, blogspot videos dont come out well, anyway here's a flat image then:

Inktober 14

'Ornate Hawk Eagle' Inktober study. :)

..I love birds. If I were a birdwatcher, I'd watch the SHIT out of them.

Looking at this i probably should have tried something cleaner and more contrasty, bleh..

Inktober 13

Inktober Dwarf!

probably faffed about too much with this one afterwards. I always feel like things go downhill as soon as i go into ink :/ Oh well.

Inktober 12..whatever

A few random techy bits and bobs tonight for inktober. These were quite relaxing. :)

Curse my shaky wrist though.

Inktober 9/10/11

A few inktober doodles tonight (the face is quite off and i should have spent more time figuring out that pose but hey ho, moving on) :)

Inktober 8

A quick and rather messy gun doodle tonight for inktober

Guns are kind of relaxing though.

Inktober 6/7

A couple inktober sketches today... I did another that I tried to plan out well but just ended up horrible. I should just do some loose ones and not worry so much about sucking, heh.

Inktober 5

Inktober Pumpkin guy..thing.. :D

Sort of just gave up with the background, lol.

Inktober 4

Inktober sketch tonight, still noticing perspective and proportion issues way too late, should focus on simpler things, ah well..

might have a bunch more this finished this weekend...like creatures! and a pumpkin dude :P

I'll also do some looser stuff which will probably be horrible but lets see, heh. I'm learning a lot about process with this stuff...

Inktober 3

Another Inktober sketch tonight (although im not doing any better to catch up lol.. screwed up the position of the bird head but whatever its a bird it's got places to be, let it spread it's wings JEEZ.

ok that's enough terrible 2am humor.

Inktober 2

 Got a marker today, never really drawn with one, will take some getting used to but im having fun! Another Inktober sketch to catch up! (I might cheat and say the ones before counted as 4, lol)

CockKnocker Goblin

Little goblin guy I blocked out a while ago, started building up some forms tonight.

I'll update again on this soon.

Also, I'm going to try and catch up on Inktober and use this as an opportunity to improve on some traditional sketching, which im trying to do more regularly now. DONT JUDGE ME! D:

Hey watch it pal, I'm slimin' here!

Sculpted this little fella tonight before bed (although probably a bit too late >.<)

Dedicated to a slug i accidentally stepped on earlier on the way home and a snail i also accidentally stepped on 5 seconds after said slug. Clearly a sign that to give back to the gastropod community.

Anyway, enough of these... words.

Sleep! :D

Pigface

made this guy before bed, quite messy but its late

GET 'IM BOSS!

update on this dude, started sculpting the little fella, made some progress elsewhere also, more soon!

Another painting tonight

Quick study paint before bed. Muddy, bleh.

Peckles - Dota 2

So, I was just about to shut down but thought my desktop icons needed a little cleanup, I came across this picture of a Dota 2 courier I had made but got half way through the animations before just forgetting about it altogether..LITERALLY. The last time the files for this thing were touched was in APRIL 2014...and its ALMOST DONE... As in a mere 2 or 3 animations to do and it could go on the workshop..
I have to stop this habit..
Posting this now as a reminder to myself to get back into 3ds max and finish those damn animations! (also i vaguely remember wanting to improve the fish but whatevs)

Facebreaker part 2

More progress blocking this chick out, Things are moving forward!

A painting from messing about in downtime and after work the past couple days

Curious little Bugger

Another creature doodle

A painting from last night before bed, finished watching The Pacific again the past couple days.

Another study before bed

FaceBreaker - part one!

I've had this idea for a chick in an industrial mech suit in my head for so long, it comes up a lot when I listen to a certain type of music, heh.
I had started a very basic blockout in zbrush a while ago but didn't really flesh out any real shapes, but I came back to it tonight and im starting to feel it moving forward. This is super early mind you, normally I'd wait a bit longer but I've got other things to finish. (that said I do have an urge to get back into some sub-d modelling after a long, long break, so im feeling this one, heh.)
Moving forward I want to try and push some Ian Mcque influences into the gear.

so, another character to the list :P (hopefully after the panda and orc dudes)

Turkey Boy

Some downtime sculpting, very fun. :) Need to do more creatures

Got bored and made this as i was feeling in the mood for something chunkier. Should have taken it further and made sense of a lot of shapes but im rather impatient :P

edit:
update on the panda, making progress, still a ways to go though and much to add and refine

Pandamonium, Take.. whatever!

Came back to this guy

Still a whole bunch to clean up and stuff to add and revise, but I'm super happy to be making some real progress. :)

More soon.

I like Birds

I really like birds :D So i'll be drawing more.

I've also made some major headway with my Orc character and will update on that very soon,

Also this, which im still trying to make sense of, foxes have been getting in the bins a lot lately, i felt like making one, then ended up putting it on some sort of creature body tonight, heh..will see where it goes.

I dunno, a guy

Wind Shepard

did this over the weekend and tried to save it tonight, should've planned the character more, but oh well, moving on

I quite like the bird though, should've been the focus

Pugchop

Crappy face forms but whatever

from last night

Painted this today, slow as heck, getting over a flu.
