My Aztec type dude makes it to 3d form!

So I decided why not keep on practicing my character modeling skills and try another one of my original design characters. So here is a rough block out of the model, I'm going to add details and textures later, I just need to build up the form and adjust the balance of the whole model. I think it looks good, so I might start the details in the next couple of days.


Enjoy!

Character Practice.

So the thing I hated modeling the most was characters, not because I couldnt but because the edge flow has to be perfect and I hate that LOL,. But I've been practicing with my own characters and I think I like it. Check out my latest creation:

More characters are in the works right now so I'll get them up as soon as possible.

He can draw folks!

I've been getting back to my cartooning background. I've been drawing a lot of little characters on post-its at work and I decided to throw one in illustrator and outline it. Its some sort of Aztec looking dude, I'll put some color on him tomorrow, so for now you only get some outline work.

Been awhile since I've posted anything.

Just a model I've been working on during my free time. Its a Disneyland design that was suppose to be a toon town building that was never made, cool design though.

Still a work in progress.

Super busy but I still have time to post new work.

My most recent work for LLS, a simple hotel room for hotel in Irvine (i think) . I wish I could show you my work from Sprite Animation but I cant because its a big hush hush. Lets just say it has something to do with 3d televisions and new programming.
But just wanted to post something recent, more stuff to come.

Recent work.

I finished a project today for a dermatology office in Beverly Hills.
I did a lot of photoshop post work on these but the client received a cleaner version because well... clients hate stylized renders. But I like doing post work on my work because it looks cool!

Something Simple. A fridge!

Just a 20 minute Maya sketch, something simple. Old school fridge.

Posting some old stuff.

I was looking around my hard drive and I found this little jem.

Its a early render of a project that I eventually finished.

Ice Cream Cart Render!

Just wanted to render these little guys. On to some textures and research for a upcoming project.


I was going for a old photo style and below a regular render.


Plus a updated render of all the other props:

Ice Cream Cart!!!

More Maya practice:
I was driving along the other day in my old neighborhood and I saw a ice cream push cart with a old bmx attached to it and I thought it would be a good simple project to model. I'll put some textures on it and maybe a character but this was just for modeling Maya practice. I'm planning on modeling something more complicated next so hopefully i get started on it later today.

Radio!

Finished up another one of my Maya practice models. I like the simplicity of the vintage radios, the design and layout is really cool. So here it is, I'm planning on rendering them with textures and stuff but I'm focused on the modeling for now.


More coming soon!

All together now....

I just wanted to put my models on all one viewport.

T.V.!!!!

Maya practice.
A vintage television set.
I'll make one more maybe.

Washing Machine!!!

Here's a antique washing machine.

I don't know if I'll do a modern one.... maybe.
I'm thinking I'll do a antique radio or something...

Ovens are done!

Some sort of flying helicopter thing!

New model of the day. Using maya for the practice. I should be done with this one tomorrow.

A telescope!

Just messing with Maya. Concept for the telescope by Jake Parker, modeled by me.




More little projects to come.

Scene is done!

So I'm calling this one done, I might add a couple more things on the floor to the right but I'm still debating. Its screaming for a character too buuuuut I'm still thinking about it. We'll see if I have the time I'll do one but if not screw it.

Update on my toon scene.

I got some texturing done these past couple of days. I'm still adding some props around the floor and some frames up on the walls so that will be added next. I still have some texturing to do but hopefully this scene will be done by this weekend. I still have to model out the curtains.... I hate modeling cutrains! Just wanted to post a little update to show what I have so far:

Lighting and overall update.

Here's a little update. Still got a couple things to model and a shit load to texture but I'l liking the way things are coming out. I still have to fix the lighting a little more to show a little more of that bookcase. I will be adding some books, papers, a couple of various items on the ground to make it look a little messier. I still have to add some more picture frames and redo the rug. Anyway, thats all for now.

Update:
I put in a book shelf with tons of books and a record player to match. I'm going to put in a fire place and some other props. I was messing with the lighting and rendering and here's what I got.
I'm going for a night scene with the fireplace roaring and the table lamp on. More updates soon.

Living room update.

Small update.

Here it is.

I'm getting things done this week. Here's a sample of my last scene for my new demo reel. Its a toon style interior. Its small so hopefully I can finish this quickly and finish the modeling to my exterior and I should be done. More updates to come!
Scene #2
Update for Scene #1

Quick updates.

Nothing much but I wanted to post anyway.

Small update....

I've been recently bombarded with project after project at work so I haven't been able to work on shit basically until last night. Here's what i've done so far:
I changed up the lighting a bit but I'm still not 100% with it and I finished one more building, I need to add some lion heads as decorative ornaments above the doors( red spheres about the doors) and maybe some wires around the windows for detail. I should be able to jump back on this project full time this weekend, so I'll some updates then.

Just a small update.

Small update, only 8 more buildings to go!!!!
