Blender Miscellanea

Right then, a selection of items I've made in Blender (save for the first, which was Daz).  I haven't messed with Blender in a while, and have a lot of half-finished projects lying around, but I thought I'd share some renders of what little is finished.  So, in order:

A troll hunting a deer (or an antelope), made in Daz.

A penguin made for a logo design, my first experiment with UV mapping.  Still not totally finished.

A group shot of my two finished and rigged characters, Dan and Sperry, in an office environment.

A shot of Sperry wearing the headset I made him.  Originally planned for an episode of "Deadpool and Starscream," never used.  He also has a poncho somewhere on my hard drive.

In addition to these, I have a half-completed Pockett strip somewhere, and plan on releasing it... someday.  Have fun!

Gigawatt! again...

Hey, remember Gigawatt from two posts ago?  Well, he's back.  For those who don't know (surprisingly, I don't think I've mentioned it on here yet), I'm writing a book, published sporadically on my other blog, The Realms of Neldak (the link is in the bar on the left, but here's another: http://neldak.blogspot.com/ )  Anyhoo, in that book, Gigawatt is nothing more than a fictional character, and one of the characters has a Gigawatt action figure with a broken leg.  Thus the joints, thus the severed leg.  Seen here is a corrected, colored version, and the original ball-point version, captured using my snazzy scanner, a.k.a., my camera.  Also, I'm putting a tag in for Action Figure, even though this isn't really, just for theme's sake.  Please enjoy!

P.S.  First post from my new apartment in L.A.!

Little Things On Their Own...

Continuing with a couple of updates to "Hinson Totoro"...  These bank notes are present in the website already, but here they are, presented without any background content...  Print them and use them in a transaction today!

Gigawatt!

Okay, so, way back in like, middle school (early 2000s) I got into doodlin' (as kids tend to do), and eventually drew myslef as a super hero (as kids tend to do).  Then today, I was sitting at work with nothing going on, so I got to doodlin' (as high-paid night shift pencil sharpeners do) and popped out a picture of Gigawatt, my electrically charged alter-ego.  Later, during class, I got to messin' around with a 3-D modeling program (as kids tend to do) and popped out the picture below...

I then brought that picture into Photoshop (as kids--okay, that's getting annoying) and layered the heck out of it, until I got the character demonstrating his powers in a very showy manner.  The little thing in the upper right-hand corner is his logo.  It's supposed to be a lightning bolt crossed with a 'G'.  It's.... a little abstract.  So!  3D done in Daz, using the Genesis figure and various add-ons.  Couldn't get him looking exactly as I wanted, but close enough.  2D done in Photoshop.  Fun fact: There are only 2 lightning bolts generated.  They were merely flipped, stretched, and rotated to create the ELECTRO-STORM!  Hope you enjoy....

Agabis--Final?

So, a while back I posted a quick sketch for the Agabis, and said I would show more of the evolution later.  Well, I never really got around to that (though I still intend to)...  However, I recently knocked out a finished work (that I'm none to happy with) that I'll be using in a school project.  The Agabi you see are the final painted ones, composited into a partially painted scene, with a lot of Photoshop goodness thrown in for good measure.  Enjoy!

The Lobby of the LeCroix Hotel

A picture from my latest project, a background from my upcoming web-game Hinson Totoro.  The game will consist of live-action footage composited over digital backgrounds.  this one is for the hub of the game, the Hotel Lobby.  Made entirely in Photoshop from sundry images found thru Google Images.  Must say, I quite like it.

The Evening Report

I've been working on my senior project for college, and one of the requirements is the creation of "graphic stills."  So, this is a nice little picture I made up for a segment intro in my webseries "At the Cinema with Deadpool and Starscream" (atthecinema.us   coming soon!)  This here is Lentils the Wonderdog, the muppet host of The Evening Report, the totally serious, not-at-all-funny news segment of DP &SS.  He can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEdkgPy75PE   The dog is a photo, and everything else is Photoshop.  If anyone wants to recreate any of the effects seen in this image, drop a comment, and I'll help out...
