Noooo, he’s not a farmer of cows, silly. He’s a farmer who is a cow! Anyway, here’s a video describing the process I used to create this illustrations. Have fun, and let me know what you think! (oh yeah, it’s better to watch in HD).
Just the models, that’s it. No texturing/lighting, etc. yet. From a project I’m currently working on.
I’m designing my own glasses, and I started with this little sketch. Then I modeled him in 3d and played around with how they’d look made out of wood. And here’s a little video showing them spinnin’ round in all their optical piggy glory.
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:
Here’s another version of the seabirds illustration with some new colors/textures.
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
Here’s another illustration from the line of kids’ cups that I worked on recently.
This is from a series of illustrations I did for a line of kids’ drinking cups.
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.
