Off with their heads!

A Zbrush renderino of my latest project, the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. I want her to look really evil and creepy. Her hair is just a place holder atm, and if you didn't notice, she has no eyes.
I'm gonna go with milky, cateracy eyes so she'll still look kinda blind and spooky. I really enjoyed working on the wrinkles on her face, it's quite tricky to get them to feel natural though. I want to make her skin look really dry, like it's cowered with powder. The collar is kinda mjeh-looking resolutionwise, but at least it shows the direction I want to go.

A girl

I little lady I've sculpted this weekend from an old sketch I had lying around. As usual It's a Dynamesh-dealie-o and then retopo. Just a quick Polypaint and render in Zbrush for now.

Rokoko face!

I've been trying out some renderng stuff in Zbrush on this here model I made. I think it turned out pretty nice and I learned a lot about putting together passes in Photieshop. Maybe I went to heavy on the Zblur, but I loves it, I do!

A tiger? With pants!??

An illustration I was asked to make for the Piteå dansar och Ler-festival. We got to choose an animal and my genre of music was rock. The result is this here tiger, who was named Hasse. It was a really fun project and I'm happy I got to participate. Nice to be illustrating again, it's been a while.

Ye old timey wip

A prieview render of a grammophone I'm working on. I modeled it in Maya and sculpted some of the details in Zbrush. There are some tweaking to be done, but here's where I'm at right now.

Quick portrait

As usual I can't finish one project without starting another. But this one was quite quick, a portrait of the most awesome guy I know. It took about 4 hours in all it's Dynameshed glory. I watched a tutorial on how to draw faces, and it really helps to be aware of those lines when you're sculpting. I'm not super done with it, there are some issues with the shape of the eyes and head, but I think I'll leave it for now.

I'm a computer graphic now, migraine boy.

Here's another update on my lady. I equipped her with some cool stuff, like bows, lace and some detail for the shoes. Some parts still need to go through some retopo, and then I'ma start shading her. I had my last presentation for school yesterday so soon enough I'll be gettin that there bachelors degree in computer graphics. Let's celebrate with a 3 hour study of an iceskater.

18th century lady

Sure has been a while since I posted in this here blog! I've been doing my internship at Milford Film and Animation in Stockholm these last 8 weeks. I'ts been really great and I learned a lot about modelling in Zbrush. This is a wip of a model I made during that time. It's not completely done yet, I still want to add some details like bows and stuff in the back of the corset and posing and more stuff. Yeah.

Tom

I had some time over yesterday while I was waiting for computer to do stuff for me, so I made a portrait of Tom Waits. Photoshop, ca 3 hours. 

Work in between work

This is my rocker girl project. I started out with dynamesh and now I'm almost done with the retopo of all the parts. Next I'm going to go back to Zbrush for some folds and other details. I want to give her a lot of jewellery, tattoos and really work on making the clothing look worn. Hopefully it will turn out pretty sweet.

Sweet cartoonyness

We're in the middle of our specialization-projects, but I had to take a break and paint something cartoony. 

Probably about 3 hours or something.

Showreel - 2012

Finally! I put together a showreel for when I'm going to apply for internships. It's mostly a generalist reel right now, next one will be more focused on modelling and texturing. A word of caution: If you have a problem with extremely peppy music, you should probably put it on mute. Enjoy!

Rejects

I'm in the process of putting together my showreel and I found some old paintings and illustrations that I haven't seen for ages. They were rejected from the showreel, but I some of them I still like. Here's a trip down memory lane..

This is from second year of art school, I think. Acrylic about 40*30cm or something like that. I really like this one, it looks kind of rough in a gloomy kind of way. 

A Publisher project from a couple of years ago. That's a big head right there.

Another in acrylic from the art school years.

I really wanted to put this Photoshop painting in the showreel beacuse it's pretty cute. But I guess it's a little strange and unpolished. The world is not ready for you, sloths, but I still love you.

Evening painting

I was rendering some stuff for my VFX project today and painted Death while I was waiting.

First doodle 2012!

I was playing around with Dynamesh and this is what happened. A kind of faunish looking guy.
