Tracer [Updated], Overwatch

Bayonetta

Cammy White, Street Fighter V

Ryuko Matoi, Kill La Kill

Android 18, Dragon Ball Z

Elizabeth, Bioshock Infinite

The Intangible Starslip Commission

Wonder Woman

The new movie was great.

Toothy Pear

Judge Dredd OC Commission

Mercy, Overwatch

I’ve been playing Overwatch these days. It really is a great game. I hadn’t realized it’s been out for a year now. I just caught the end of Competitive Season 4 and worked my way pretty close to Diamond maining Mercy. Once I got into her play style I found it quite fun when compared to more spastic characters like Tracer, and a little more nuanced than Reinhardt.

2b, Nier Automata

 

Great game. Great story. Great character designs. I highly recommend this game.

Zero Suit Samus Aran, Metroid

I recently watched a speed run of Super Metroid that was pretty impressive. So here I am making some artwork of Samus.

Cyan

The C in CMYK. Part of an 8 piece set.

Magenta

The M in CMYK. Part of an 8 piece set.

Green

The G in RGB. Part of an 8 piece set.

Misty, Pokemon

I suppose this is my last artwork of 2016 and first of 2017. Dang I played me a lot of Pokemon back in the day. I had Red. And I totally caught all 151! I got Mew with the help of a gameshark because there was no way Nintendo was holding a Mew giveaway event anywhere near me as a kid. Though I hear some people have found a glitch that lets you catch one without “cheats”.

Dana Scully, X-Files

I still have yet to watch the most recent mini-series, but the X Files is one of the best shows.

Jill Valentine, Resident Evil

jill-04-web-res

Jill Valentine of the Resident Evil series of video games.

Slave Leia, Star Wars

leia-04-web-res

I don’t know why it took me over two decades after having seeing the original Star Wars trilogy for me to draw a picture of Princess Leia. Also, I think it is a bit odd that Jabba the Hut seems to have an obsession with humanoid women. Are his fellow slug monsters not attractive to him? Maybe having a neck that you can put a collar on has something to do with it.

Spider Gwen, Marvel

spider-gwen-03-web-res

I love the sleek costume design of Spider Gwen, and personally think Gwen should never have died in the main universe. Spider Gwen is a great consolation though, it would be amazing if she showed up in the movie universe.

 

D.Va, Overwatch

dva-04-web-res

I’ve finally got around to colouring my DVa sketch. I tried out a slightly different painting technique for this one that ended up not only being faster, but I also really like how it turned out. Instead of painting each colour individually I did essentially three black and white lighting passes – one for ambient occlusion, one for the direct light, and one for rim. I think the ambient occlusion lends a sense of realism, and the technique is familiar since a lot of 3d rendering programs use AO as well.

I’ve been overdosing a bit on Overwatch the game, especially with the latest halloween update. I feel bad for all the other games I’m not playing. Overwatch is just so good.

Tracer, Overwatch

Tracer-08-web-res

Been enjoying this game. I really love all the character designs, especially Tracer. I may do a D.VA artwork too, though I’m not very good playing that character quite yet.

Commander Shepard, Mass Effect

FemShep-05-web-res

Female Commander Shepard aka “FemShep” from the Mass Effect series of video games.

Tomb Raider, Lara Croft Lounging

lounging-lara-04-web-res

Lara Croft. The original Tomb Raider.

Morrigan, Dragon Age Witch of the Wilds

morrigan-03-web-res

I started playing Dragon Age Inquisition and am quite liking it so far. I also played and loved the first two Dragon Age games.

Tifa Lockhart

Tifa-06-web-res

I finally got around to drawing Tifa. I don’t know why it took me so long because I’ve been a fan of Final Fantasy VII / 7 since it came out on the original Playstation oh so many years ago. I remember playing it at a friends house and being quite enthralled. I also quite liked the “Advent Children” animated movie, which had some really awesome battle scenes.

Power Girl

Power-Girl-06-web-res

Revisiting a few characters again to hopefully do them better justice as I improve a little. Power Girl has been a favourite of mine.

Arise: Ghost in the Shell, Motoko Kusinagi

 

3d-Motoko-02-web-res

Motoko from the anime reboot of Ghost in the Shell: Arise. This was a 3d sculpt and render that I had left for a while and decided should be finished up. I was also working on a Tachikoma, but for the complexity I want it may end up taking too long, so I’m happy to leave it at this and do some art that isn’t Ghost in the Shell related for a while.

Motoko Kusinagi, Ghost in the Shell

 

Motoko-03-web-res

Motoko from the series of anime and manga Ghost in the Shell. This particular outfit was part of the tv series “Stand Alone Complex”.

Quiet, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Quiet-04-ink-web-res

I’m a huge Metal Gear fan, and loved the most recent addition – The Phantom Pain, so I drew Quiet (with her “Guilty Butterfly” sniper rifle).

Ellen Ripley, Alien Nostromo Lifeboat Scene

Ripley-alien-03-web-res

I recently played Alien: Isolation and thought it was amazing, so I went and re-watched all the Alien movies. The first movie was so cool and had some incredible design and style. I got inspired and dug out the Ellen Ripley model I made ages ago and gave it some more love and a proper scene and render. The background was modeled based on the Nostromo lifeboat, and the final image is inspired by that sequence.

Shaak Ti and Ahsoka Tano Tribute Togruta

final02-web

This is an old model I decided to dig up and give some more love. I did the original render a while ago and didn’t quite end up getting the feeling from it that I was originally aiming for. I’m glad I revisited this since I spent a lot of time on this model back when I made it. It was fun to revisit some of my old techniques and add a dash of new ones for this redux.

The character is inspired by the Togruta alien race from the Star Wars universe. The most notable examples in the cannon are Shaak Ti and Ahsoka Tano. While this character I’ve rendered is neither of those two, she could be construed as sort of an alternate reality version of either.

RGB vs CMYK

Rival Color gangs RGB and CMYK Fighting

This is an illustration I’ve done with a “Colour” themed art show in mind. It is a personification of the colours in the additive and subtractive systems as rival gangs. CMYK is an ink process and RGB is used in digital displays like tv’s and LCD’s.

 

Rainbow Camo Fighter Jets

I’ve rendered out a variant of my SU-37 fighter jet model using a different camo scheme with the hopes of possibly entering it into a “colour” themed art show. I quite like the end result. Hopefully people aren’t sick of airplanes yet. Maybe I should do a submarine now? haha

Ninja Pig

This was a commission of sorts for a friend of mine. Originally intended for a 3d-printed sculpture (and still available as one) on Shapeways, I have now made a 2d print/render with it. The concept is a pig that is also a ninja, perhaps the pig does other things in his spare time, but I can only speculate about that.

Modelled in Sculptris/Blender, rendered with Luxrender/Blender, post-processing in Photoshop.

Wooden Bridge in an Aquarium

final-02-web
Here is a few renders I did for a recent Blender competition. The theme of the competition was “Photo Realism” and the restrictions were to use Blender internal or cycles render engines only. For the project I ended up using a mix between the two. The Bridge was inspired by the Yusuhara wooden bridge museum in Japan.

The Audit: Revka Model

A test render of the protagonist from the short film I’m working on. Modelled in Blender, rendered in Luxrender.

Modern Fighter Jet

ESH-2501-Fighter-Jet-web

This is a fighter jet I’ve modelled for a Blendswap contest. It is inspired by the SU-37 flanker series jet made by Russian aircraft company Sukhoi.

The model is fully rigged and textured. Also comes with optional nose-art. Armature movement is automatic where appropriate (landing gear only requires rotating one bone, wheels and turbines spin automatically when moving forward etc.). Detailed instructions are included in the file.

For those interested you can download the .blend file HERE  Simply download and open in Blender (both the file and Blender are free for any use).

More Jedi, More Star Wars

3D render of a Togruta Alien character inspired by Star WarsI wanted to do a better render for the Togruta Jedi that I’d created. Something that was a bit more flattering and dynamic with the model. I may even do more with this character. It’s hard to get too much Star Wars 🙂

(more…)

Death Riding a Velociraptor

It’s Death riding a Velociraptor. Because what else would he ride! Modelled and rendered in Blender, including the smoke in the background. This is my first experiment with the new smoke simulation tools in Blender and I’m fairly pleased with the results.

 

Sushi Attack!

A tentacle about to eat sushi made of tiny girls rendered in 3d

I suppose this is my advertisement for vegetarianism. Modelled and rendered in Blender.

 

Godzilla vs 200 Unicorns

Who would win in a fight – Godzilla or 200 Unicorns?
