I met J. Scott Campbell at the CTN Animation Expo. I really love his character designs so I asked him if I could model one of them for my demo reel. Here's my progress:

Human Anatomy Sculpt

2010-06-29T01:38:00.000-07:00

I picked up the book ZBrush Digital Sculpting by Scott Spencer at Borders. I wanted to learn more about sculpting in ZBrush and human anatomy and this book is a great teaching tool for both. Here's what I created while studying this book. I've learned a ton about human anatomy and ZBrush.

Something old...

2008-03-31T20:34:00.000-07:00

I decided to post some of my old stuff that I liked. So here it is:

This is an illustration I did for an assignment where we picked certain characteristics from a hat and design a character around it. I got "Shy, elderly, pig, wearing a chorus girl outfit and a feather boa." Needless to say I was a little overwhelmed.

This is an illustration with the same character in a 4 frame story. Fun character to work with!

Lastly, here's a character I designed after a stapler in cartooning and caricature.

I'll show some more old stuff as I get around to it. Peace!
