Updated Penn Model

Well, the semester is over and here is my final for my character model.  There's still a lot I would like to fix on my own time.  Modeled and painted using ZBrush 4R6

A few entries from my Zbrush sketchbook so far this semester

Modeling

I haven't done modeling a year and a half, and here I find myself in an advanced modeling class.  I was pretty frazzled when the semester first started, but modeling in Zbrush has really sparked a passion in me that I haven't experienced in a long time.  I took my Overwatch design of Penn and have begun to model him head to foot.  I'm really excited to learn how to do so much more in 3D.

Process stuff

It's been a year since the last update so here's progress shots for a bunch of things I've done this year.


Redesigned Penn and gave him a back view

Redesigned Aurylia and painted her belongings and facial expressions

Style exploration for Penn

More style exploration for Penn.

Schoolwork, Wreck-It-Ralph character design

Aurylia

I'm horrible at updating this thing...here's more portfolio building.  Original character, Aurylia.

Penn

This dude's been in my mind for about 5 years now, and it's great to finally have the ability to paint him full-body.

Out of the many photos I took on my roadtrip I picked out a few for speedpainting...here's my first.  I'd like to achieve a point where I can paint quickly but effectively without it looking so silly up close like this one

Some stuff

Illustration for The Bane of Yoto, an awesome scifi novel and 3D Comic!

Also Pacific Rim fanart... dasvidaniya kaiju mofos

A ton of other work

Well, I guess I HAVE been pretty busy over summer!

Bill Perkins workshop

Had the privilege of studying under Disney illustrator Bill Perkins for the last two days.  It was a great experience, so much information.  I learned a ton, including how to use oils for the first time.  These are from a live model, 20 minutes for blocking and 20 minutes for breakdown. These go chronologically so I hope the comfort level with the medium/process shows.
