Vapore Macchina Insetto

 Even if you had not preordered the figure you can still get them while they last! About 20 or so left. It’s been a long wait but it’s been worth it. The quality of the figure is outstanding. It is also larger in scale then I thought it was going to be. It think it’s just perfect and I’m a very picky person

So I really have been loading up the site with a lot of 2d drawings. I think this is because I do so little of it at work that it’s such a treat. I also have a lot to learn so I keep pushing it and practicing. Here’s an example of my 3d skills. Where it’s actually a combination of 2d and 3d.

2d – Initial sketch, 3d – Low poly model in 3d Studio, 3d – Adding geometry details in Zbrush, 3d – import into Max for final lighting and camera placement, 3d – Render the model with diffuse, zdepth maps, 2d – color over the model, adjust background color.

He’s up for voting at PatchTogether now. The person who gets the most votes has a chance to have the design turned into a resin figure for purchase. Pretty cool.

“The Burning Giraffe” is the title of a S. Dali painting. I took it to the extreme

The Burning Giraffe

So I was doing my computer backups today (just feel kinda unlucky for some reason so I thought it’s better safe than sorry) and I stumbled upon an awesome blast from the past for me. I was once part of an awesome World of Warcraft guild. I also became the webmaster and designed the site. One day I was bored and decided to “reward” active members on the forums be giving them their very own custom avatar. I took a screenshot of their character so I could get their skin color, hair, eyes, markings, etc correct and drew up a fun little picture for them and them alone. Usually I tried to make them a bit quirky and in some cases there’s a story behind them The drawings took about a couple hours each but I had to wait until the perfect inspiration hit before making something.

Here are 17 of the avatars I made until work and other projects got in the way.

PS. I was the Moonkin.

Where have I been oh what have I been doing . . . It’s been over 3 weeks since I posted here and it’s been that long since I had time to submit something to Woot. I’ve been working on a not-for-profit side project (links coming soon!) and just getting my house in order. But enough with that right now, here are some new shirts!!

Superhero Stegosaurus Saving the Species!!

The Villainous Velociraptor’s weapon of mass destruction was launched from his spy satellite and it was heading directly for Dino Central!!. Superhero Stegosaurus managed to intercept the nefarious thunder lizard’s plan and destroyed the meteor before it had a chance to cause massing damage across the World!

I figured I should make a companion to my other dino shirt. Enjoy!!

I also want to give a big shout out to my office-mate who helped me brainstorm out the idea

I imagine this is the initial look that most imps would have when Hell finally freezes over. I’ve wanted to work on this concept in other ways, but for now it’ll be a tshirt design

New theme. . .  For some reason I’m not really foaming at the mouth to get this derby going. Am I getting burned out from drawing? I pretty much do it everyday (just don’t post stuff up very often). Maybe I’m just not willing to stay up til 2am again Either way, here’s my entry for tomorrow. A nod to one of my favorite arcade games  Seems like Ken . .err, the red betta fish has the better combos!
