Ok guys and gals, haven't been updating my blog with any new works lately. I have not abandoned this blog yet. Lately I found some time to do new sketch series that I will call, series of faces.

Italia Straps

2010-10-18T10:40:00.000-07:00

Hiya there, going to do a plug for my favorites custom straps maker.

Some of you out there that is close to me probably knows that i am a blues guitar player during the weekend a side from my daily routines of sculpting and tweaking vertices.
Recently i found a strap maker called Italia Straps based in California. They makes a very nice, soft, and detailed leather straps that is build for comfort. Imagine playing a gig using a crappy straps for an hour or more standing up, hauling your maybe 7 - 8 lbs guitar on your shoulder. ouch. Italia makes a very nice thick and soft Hand made leather strap that will makes your 8 - 9 lbs guitar feels like 6 - 7 lbs and the best parts is, their strap is made to orders.

I ordered 2 of their straps as a test run, after i got it and using it on gigs, i like it so much that i end up ordering more. Their wait time usually around 1 - 2 weeks top. very nice customer service too!

so without further ado www.italiastraps.com

new bust sketch, Big Nose Alien?

2010-06-09T10:25:00.000-07:00

I am kind of slow updating my blog, but here is some small update. I did this bust to be submitted for a new books on mudbox by my friend Ara.

this version still have all symmetrical features to the face. I will post one more snapshot with the asymmetrical details later.

realistic Donald Duck update

2008-06-19T01:51:00.000-07:00

Finally i find time to finished this bust.

i wish the base mesh is better, lots of shapes that mudbox can't pull off, due to my non super computer PC at home.

but here it is.

realistic donald duck?

2008-06-17T01:13:00.000-07:00

I am doing a challenge at 3dtotal.com on speed modeling a realistic cartoon character.

i choose donald because to me its really challenging to take a humanoid base mesh into something else as extreme as an angry realistic sailor duck.

by the way there is a time limit on the turnaround, which is 4 hours. so far i am putting 2 hours worth of sculpting in this bust.

Man Cat sketch

2008-06-11T14:28:00.000-07:00

Just a real quick sketch i did, haven't really decide if i want to finished it or not.

just a practice for tonight.

creature updated*

2008-01-28T01:29:00.001-08:00

*edit- So i consider this finished as is, i'm pretty sure if i don't decide to stop it here, there still plenty of room for improvement. but then its stuck at 4 millions polys in mudbox and i don;t like the way zbrush work flow, so i stop it here, consider it finished.

First Post for 2008

one creature i have been working on, its work in progress kind of thing. base mesh is done in maya and hi-res sculpting is currently in mudbox. and this creature is inspired by a concept by Ryan at www.boyrobot.com
