Funny in retrospect how easy it is to see how I messed up the shoulder anatomy. I flattened her out too much, the pose is weird and so many other problems. At least I got some material rendering practice out of it.

CGHub Jawesome Redesign

While I never finished the concept, I thought it was worth posting. This is a redesign challenge from CGHub. We had to take a character from Dan Luvisi's incredible LMS series and put our own unique spin on it.

I tried to take his character Jawesome and mess with him a bit - but I felt it was becoming too generic and static. The Mass Effect style mechanical arm wasn't really doing it for me either, so I decided to refocus on practice more foundational skills like lighting and rendering.

Scholes Studies 02

I wanted to make sure in this post that it is clear I am not 'copying' any of Tom Scholes' work. These are all original paintings using methods and techniques I try and follow based on what I see in his work. Also Adventure Time is an awesome show.
