Before this lovely year expires, I am going to try to add at least few more updates, to boost 2011 foglog postcount which will shamefully sit at only two after this post gets published. This year has been quite busy: I made lots of models at work, which I won’t be able to show for Read more...

Otherwise, this would be called Yves Vol 2, since I wanted to show some progress on Yves. I have finally finished adding hair cards wooohoooooo. So here she comes now: Here are some viewport grabs: If you ask how long the hair took to make, I’d probably answer “FOREVER!!!” and I wouldn’t be lying by Read more...

The last piece was done as a paintover of zBrush sculpt, with some photographic sources added in, and lots of tonal adjustments and reshaping. The sketch next to it was a study from a still, and the first two sheets are just sketchbook pages, some were done with reference, some without.

This guy has a body too… well, sort of partial for now. I thought it was interesting to see how it all came to this, so I loaded my WIP files one by one and snapped the image of each, and then arranged them chronologically into this little movie: It all started from zSpheres as Read more...

There’s a long road ahead, but I think I’m off to a decent start. More is to come and I’m pretty glad I’m back to doing some 3D in my spare time. Surprisingly, I don’t get tired of it after 40+ hours of doing it at work. It feels good to have all the resolution Read more...

What?! I have a website? A blog? Alriiiight, lets spam it! For the curious: this is my interpretation of Sam, from Sam and Twitch comic book. I have been working on this fella in the past several weeks in ZBrush, Silo and a little bit of Maya. I haven’t used any reference explicitly, but I Read more...
