My entry for Comicon 2014

Mostly just a material study with baked textures and procedural textures.

Blender and XNormal.

A warg, according to George R.R. Martin, is a person with the special power of body shifting and controlling animals.
The male african warg has 25k tris. I have made 4 texture sheets, 3 of those in 2048x2048 and the one for the hair with 512x512, with diffuse, gloss, spec and normal. I have created everything in Zbrush and 3ds max, with a bit of help of marvelous designer, dDo, nDo and xnormal. Render in Marmoset Toolbag.

The Hyena has 7.5k triangles, both characters were rigged with CAT in 3Ds Max so I could test different poses to quickly setup a final look to the scene. The little environment was made in zbrush and the topology was made with decimation master, which I later had to clean up. The final polycount with the grass and the layer of dust is 12k tris

A character WIP. Still needs a rig.

Hard surface modeling and texturing for films. Use Maya for modeling, Photoshop and Mudbox for texturing, and Keyshot for rendering. This is the first model I build with NURBS tool. NURBS is a great tool for the model which has lots of curves.

Be sure to grab Vertex, a series of *FREE* ebooks with contributions from many professional games artists from studios such as Blizzard Entertainment and Ubisoft on a variety of topics, including sculpting, modeling, color theory, texture workflows, and even freelancing. The first issue also contains a tutorial on the female face by local game artist, Jon-Troy Nickel (Hazard).

If you're a game artist, you need to grab these ebooks now!

There is where you will find my latest works I have completed in my own time. I have experience with modelling (and rigging/animating) characters and organic objects as well as hard surface.

Personal art done by me to demonstrate my abilities in CryEngine 3.

Hey all,

Recently made a digital sketchbook in the Polycount forums and I've decided I'll post some of the stuff I make here every now and then as well just in case there's a chance I can expand my networking here.

I'm currently studying the Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment (major - animation) in Qantm Melbourne. I know there have been many arguments over whether the course is worth the time and money, but so far I'm quite happy with the course, teachers and students.

I aim to become a 3D artist in the games industry and I'm passionate about game development as a whole. Don't get me wrong, 2D games are still awesome (and I enjoy many of them), but I enjoy the process of creating 3D art more than 2D. I do greatly respect illustrators, concept artists and such though.

Film (both animation and vfx) also interest me but I'm more so passionate about games.

The first image is a sculpt I made recently for my Advance 3D animation subject. We had to pick a toy and make a model out of it so I decided to buy a Thane toy (from Mass Effect) :0
Still texturing and rigging the low poly version at this moment.

The second image is something I sculpted awhile back. I wanted to create Studio Ghibli's "Howl's Moving Castle" but I couldn't find a definite look to it when I was researching the castle, so I decided to create my own version. Of course this is a high poly sculpt as well. I tried to go for a cartoon-ish stylized look. Low poly game-wise, I'd imagine this to be more of an RTS asset in a stylized game.

I hope to upload more stuff later. Any critique or feedback would be appreciated :)

Just some BRS fanart. Modelled with current-gen specs in mind.
