The Pale Man...


Show of hands, who's seen Pan's Labyrinth?  I know, it was good, right?  Anyhoo, an interesting guest recently dropped by my school...  Doug Jones, the actor who played both the Faun and the mind-numbingly terrifying Pale Man (amongst many, many other roles.  Dang, I feel like going out and having McDonald's tonight...)  Having had some forewarning about the Jone's arrival, I set to work sketching the image above, based on a Google reference image.  The picture... isn't that great.  But you know what?  It was signed by the Jones himself, so I'm happy.  And below is a photo of the three of us!  Such fun we had together!  My beard was stroked...

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.!
