Kinopolis 2012

So I was recently contacted to make a trailer for this years Kinopolis Polish Film Festival. A great festival showcasing Polish films and animations along with talks with actors and directors and all sorts. Unfortunately I only managed to make the trailer and not attend as I was preparing a costume for a DJ set at an Anime Convention. Which I'm also hoping to post pictures of up on this blog.



Nevertheless lots of projects on the go at the moment and sworn to secrecy on the lot of them!

HS 3D 3 Regular Gumballs!

So I recently made a Gumball machine using Blender, which was to serve as another piece of hard surface modelling for my portfolio. However I decided to go a bit further and turn it into a character from a show called Regular Show who is a walking talking gumball machine, turning into a piece of character/hard surface modelling.

If you're unaware of this character then check out this video of himself in action.

2 forgotten illustrations

So I was looking through my Facebook Art Page and realised I had two illustrations I had not uploaded on my blog. Don't know how they managed to slip by unnoticed but sure here they are.

A poster I made for an RTE Storyland series called CUCKOO.

Just a trio of cute yet deadly NINJA!

Had to put a watermark on the latter, it looks as if it would be very stealable.

Thank you

HS 3D 2 - Novation Launchpad

So continuing from my last post. I decided to do some more Hard Surface 3D Modelling, opting to make another piece of noise-making gear that I own. The Novation Launchpad.

Also here's a nice video of somebody putting one of these things to good use.

HS 3D - Akai MPK 49

So inbetween other projects I managed to get a bit of hard surface modelling done using none other then my Akai MPK 49 as reference. It was a nice little project to do, especially since I decided to disregard polycount and just try make it as nice as possible. I hope to do more models like this in the near future.

Super Meat Boy

I figured I would follow up my previous post of the Antagonist of Super Meat Boy with the protagonist. So I present to you now, Super Meat Boy.

Dr. Fetus

Super Meat Boy. A deadly yet difficult game for Xbox live Arcade and Steam. I highly recommend it. So much so that I've made this 3D model of the antagonist. Dr. Fetus.

Zbrush Modelling

For years I've attempted to get into Zbrush and put it off because it kept confusing me. Well no more. There's no way around it. The only way I can do the kinda kick-ass modelling I want to do is to get serious with this program. So here's my first 2 sculpts. I really hope to keep this up as it's an awesome and powerful program.

First Sculpt!!




And a 2nd bit of messing. Lot's of Zspheres in this one :)

Maya Modelling

So I recently decided to get over my irrational fear of using Maya and I love it. It's a deadly program. I also ran out of ideas for things to model so I asked my good friend and Concept Artist Mark Stokes to come up with a character design. He instead returned with big sketch dump pages with heaps of characters on them. So I picked two and made them in 3D. Be sure to check out his blog too! Divil Jones

Tucked away on my PC

So I found this texture that was used on my short film Peripheral on my computer's hard drive, and I figured it was a shame not to have it on my blog. I spent a bit too much time on it and put a bit too much detail into it considering how long it was actually on screen. So I'm posting it here, in all it's glory! My fake Ipad user interface.
