Well here is an update to project Heathcliff

Hey so here are a few sneak peaks of a model I am doing for a buddy doing a toon rigging article for 3dworld this summer. I decided to do the environment to add to the character and for personal rendering purposes. I have been working the character on and off this month. The design was inspired from a sketch our friend Shawn Springer did for us, on a different project. There is still some polishing needed but the character is mostly completed.

As you may have seen before, I had did a model a while back called the yokel. It was a head and it was done for a modeling challenge I hosted some time ago for students at Full Sail. I liked the model a lot and wanted to make a deformable version so that I can do some facial tests and maybe a go with face robot, with an exaggerated face. Since I’m working on a new reel I decided to do a body too, this is what I have so far.

The entire model was modeled in XSI with slight “help” with some zbrush here and there.

This was a test I did with a 150 poly mesh and some zbrush scuplting, I would have to say I spent about 5 hours on it total.

Here is a mock up puppy I did for a freelance bid. The project actually inspired me to shoot for a new asset a day. I created all of the assets from design, modeling, texturing, rigging and animation.

Here are a few webkinz inspired animals I am working on. This is about 5 days worth of work, in between normal work duties

These characters are characters are a few characters for a few games I have planed.
