This new p3d model embedding thing is so cool. Here's hoping it makes wireframes and turnarounds in demo reels obsolete!! I hate rendering those so much :D

Master Oogway Sculpt

I've been working on a sculpey project on and off for the past 2 months and finally finished him!  It's Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda, based more on Nico Marlet's design rather than the final 3d version from the film.  He stands about 10" tall.

Reel Update!

Just updated my reel with some recent work and a commercial I worked on this summer..

So here's a little something I did last week, based on a drawing by Ahmet Tabak [ http://ahmettabak.blogspot.com/2011/03/10-03-2011.html ]

Lots of Updates

So... it's been pretty silent on here for a WHILE. Figured I should post some of the stuff I've been working on since graduating last year. The gator guy was designed by my friend Dionne Phua and his shack house by Jason Pruett. I'm not quite happy with the ZBrushing on the gator yet, so I'll probably mess around with it a little more. The layout in general is about there, but also needs a few minor tweaks [like the gator's pose], which I'm very open to critique for!

The giraffe is from my alternate thesis idea I didn't end up using back in my junior year in college. I hated where the story was taken, but loved the visuals. I'll eventually model the stylized flat environment and place him in it as well. For now though, I was just beefing up my modeling portfolio, so now onto UVing, texturing, and lighting!

Thesis!
