Sketches

Here are some sketches from a facial expressions book. I wanted to draw faces from different angles and with different expressions. These are some of my favorites. Sometimes you just want to keep a library book indefinitely, but you can't.

Unearthing old Art

Having recently moved to a new apartment I've come across a lot of old art that I thought had disappeared long ago. This is mostly traditional pencil or value work. I'll post some periodically.

Portfolio and Employment Materials

I've been working as much as possible with Rachel Rutherford, Karen Wheeler and Lisa Knight to get an internship or 3d artist position. Rachel, especially has made a lot of great suggestions, such as transferring my digital photography to a dedicated site. Facebook has not been working well for me for a variety of reasons. I am currently in the process of populating this website. Here is my new free stock photo website shot by me in various places around the world:

Meanwhile, I'm working on how navigation works on my site and trying to work around the limitations of Simple Viewer. I'll add more about myself as well within the next couple weeks so that anyone who visits and wants to know what sort of artist I am and what I'm passionate about can read about me.

ZBrush

Learning ZBrush

I worked through numerous tutorials on the pixologic website and learned a lot about ZBrush. I finished the sculpt of my low poly martian zombie for the personal project class. I had to cut back my plans for this a bit because of GDC, company day and game team projects. While I had already concepted it, I also worked a lot with an animal anatomy book while creating this. Here is my finished character, the first thing I've made in ZBrush so far:

I'm looking forward to taking ZBrush classes from DigiPen and FuturePoly. Unfortunately, FuturePoly put the class off for another month citing a lack of enrollment and DigiPen is still not giving us hard plans for when the class will be. Ah well. I look forward to learning about baking and painting in ZBrush.
