Anatomy Sculpture

I've been working on this piece for quite some time now, it's a comical anatomy model which will be casted in the future. The idea is that it will be a nice reference for any character artist out there.

do comment if you notice anything off with the anatomy,

mountains more to fix, but its coming along,

cheers!

Class Sculpture/ Hell hound

Hi everyone,
here's a sculpt that i worked on as part of a demo for the Sculpture Workshop,
the concept design isn't mine, but from a cool concept i grabbed from last years Dominance War.
Check out Vinicius's site for more awesome works from him :)

Sculpture Workshop Class of October 2010

Hello everyone!

and congratulations for signing up or the sculpture workshop

Your first class starts in 7th October.
followed by three other classes every Thursday

14th Oct
21st Oct
28th Oct

Before you go off and start sculpting, you will need a good reference of your model.
go to cg sites and forums and look for appropriate orthographic reference.
I googled up "model sheet" and these are what i found.

I want you guys to look for a reference that has a good front side and back views,
aswell as a clear drawing, not some unknown sketch.

Also be modest! don't take a design so complicated no one would even try to sculpt.
find art that you like but also feel that you can pull off.

Here are some sculpture web links that i go to, to get inspired. Hope it does the same for you :)

Conceptart.org
Shiflett Brothers
Statue Forum
Joseph Tsang
Steve Wang

REMEMBER TO EMAIL ME THE DESIGNS BEFORE CLASS!!

after i have approved of the design, you can go ahead and print them out.

MAKE SURE THE SIZE OF THE PRINT IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE SCULPTURE!!

So just a friendly reminder once again,

1) Look for reference
2) email me the reference
3) Print the reference to the size of the sculpture you want to sculpt
4) Prepare money to purchase tools and clay from me
5) don't forget to come to class

If you have anymore concerns, pop me an email or give me a pm at facebook.

Garreth the Silver Edge of Ga'Hoole

Finally can wrap this up, hoo'ray!

some back story....

After the triumphant battle
where the Guardians once again
defeated the malevolent Metal Beak,

Peace did not last long,
as a new terror, in the form of
massive and unnumbered serpentine
wave appeared.

The Great Snakes, or the Chorndrea,
lurked within the deep dark cool
caves, striking silently at first, before
openly waging war on the Owls of Ga’Hoole.

Garreth is the first of the Silver Clads,
An elite group of Guardian owls
retrofitted with silver forged weaponary.
He is the Silver Edge, mystical silver
talons replace his birth claws, making
his strikes severely effective.

Garreth chases a lone Chorndrea into a pit,
unbeknownst to him, an entire army awaits!
Can he escape to warn the other Guardians?

Legend of the Guardians, The Owls of Ga'Hoowwyeahhhh

Hey everyone, here an update of my LOTG submission, i feel it's about 95% done, with just 2 more days to the deadline, i'm gonna submit very very soon!


Finished owl model with partial uv and texture ( armor is using procedural textured shaders )



Early test render of shaders



model the enemies, some bad ass pythons, this here is already rigged as well as shaded.



Owl rigged, and set up the composition, i wanted a look of the owl sweeping down to get a python, and greeted by a whole army of hissing pythons. all pissed off.



early lighting test, my poor pc. all those feathers!



Below is a 95 % shiok render comp, showed some of the passes i used as well, but seriously, there was much work in photoshop for color balance, hue saturation, detail touch up, etc.



probably tweak abit more, cheers everyone and good luck to all that are joining!



and just watched the movie this afternoon, is HOOTINGG AWESOMEE
HOOT HOOT HOOT! i wanna so mate with that evil owlsss

3D owl

Hi everyone,

taking a break of sculpey clay, and working on some digital clay :)

about 4 hours work, getting this mesh out, feathers are just proxies.

Sculpting Class @ The One Academy

Hellow fellow readers, especially Digital Animation students at The One Academy,
i'm opening up a short course on sculpting every month, and a new intake starts this september.

Unfortunately this course is only exclusive to Digital Animation students at the One,

however, if there is a response to have classes outside the institution, i will definitely work on that.

There will be a preview tomorrow (i know short notice right) at room F4 at the One.
so whoever is around town and is interested to get a glimpse before participating can attend the introduction class.

it will be a short intro, bout an hour or two.
from 10am till noon, then we can have lunch? :)

cheers everyone!

Koating my Kancil pt 3

Hi Everyone, been taking some orders for the kancil, those of you who ordered, i really appreciate it!

as a thank you, here are some shop pics, pics taken by my lovely gf with her new awesome Lumix.



paints that i used, Citadel and Tamiya Acrylics.



One customer wanted the default color scheme.







It's weird to see two of the same color scheme, haha. gay brothers or something.



Here's a special blue one for another customer. He wanted a custom color scheme. Hope he likes it!



A gold/Bronze version for the principal of my college as a thank you gift thing.



Here's a line up- left to right,

Gold - TOA gift
Blue - custom paint
Default 1 - My personal piece
Default 2 - Customer ordered
Grey 1 - Customer ordered
Grey 2 - Customer ordered
Raw - Customer ordered
White - the original sculpey sculpt!

i've given away three sculptures already previously. would be cool to see a massive line up of all of them. but i will be sending them off this week to their new homes :) maybe a new sculpt in the future. haha.

Cheers!

Inception Workshop Pics

How was everyone's weekend?
I've been busy in shop casting totems and kancils :)



Picture of it in action at my friends birthday/farewell party :)



Here's how it all started, brass rod with circular plastic sheet attached.



added an extension with bent metal wire.



glued in place.



padded with wire to give some clamping area for the epoxy.



padded with epoxy for the initial form block in, and after hours of sanding with my dremel and sand paper, we get a spin top!

sorry for lack(more like zero) of pictures at the sanding phase, it was just too hands on to stop for pics.

and thank you all the friends who are supporting this endeavor by purchasing the totems!

happy dreaming :D
