My first children’s picture book for the ipad that I wrote and illustrated with Keith Lango, is now available in the ibookstore and on itunes. With all new updated artwork, narration, and only 2 bucks! You can check it out on itunes and even download a free sample. Here’s the first 5 pages:
Another illustration for the same line of children’s cups. This is my color version, as the client needed a different take on the color scheme
Designed, modeled, textured and lit by yours truly. Animated by the fabulous Shahbaazinator.
+ © owned by Saputo Bakery, Inc. While I didn’t do the animation here, I did design, model and create this character and background. Igor was a monkey shill for a line Canadian simian shaped muffins. I thought it’d be fun to put the song “This Hand …is a Mighty Hand” by Hoots and Hellmouth”...
Just playing around with the materials on my glass elephant teapot. Thought I’d share a new render of it. Sharing is good, right?
I can’t seem to stop making Frankenstein pigs! Anyway, I decided to model up this guy in 3d. I think he’d make a swell toy. Click on MORE for some “making of” stuff.
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any 3d work, so this is what you’ll have to settle for. I took a 3d model I’d made from a few years back and starting playing around with some caustics. I’ve got some more versions of Thor I’ll post here soon. Click MORE for the original sketch and some...
An oldie, but one of my favorite illustrations from back in the VeggieTales days. I created most of that food by actually scannin french toast hot off the pan, the front and sides, and decimating a loaf of french bread and then reassembling it in 3d. Plus my good friend and illustrator extrordiare Jody Nilsen...
This fearsome fellow was done for The League of Robots and Monsters. I’m including some sketches and other making of stuff. First comes the sketch. I was going for a vile and ferocious beast, with just a hint of reptilian sophistication. Next I started modeling him in 3d based on the aforementioned sketch. A simple...
I was just playing around with some rendering stuff (the usual caustics, HDR lighting, etc.) and thought it might be fun to see what a moving glass elephant teapot would look like. At least now I know. That’s the important thing, right?
Just cuz, I decided to render out my elephant teapot out of glass and a more simple ceramic. No real reason really, other than I wanted to know how to render glass and simple ceramic better. There’s a nifty little vid of it below.
I started modeling and texturing a 3d elephant to help teach myself some of the new tools in the new version of Maya, and then, my brilliant wife said, hey, you should make that into a teapot. So I did!
Just playing around with modeling myself some new glasses. I really need to add some eyeballs everywhere (I always say that). Make sure you click on the images for some fun time zoomage. Also scroll down for some rotational vid action. Breadwig Glasses from Bread Wig on Vimeo.
Thought I’d re-light this bad boy. Make him a little more hip. A little more today.
Abominable Snowman was the theme for Drawergeeks this week. Where else would a Yeti be more at home than a vintage household magazine? At least that was my “thinking”. Lots and lots of making of stuff if’n you click on the “more” link. Click the image for some super yeti-zoom action.
For the latest Drawer Geeks. Yep, dinosaurs was the topic. Click it for a bigger version. Here’s the original sketch.
