  • Here’s a new model I’m working on – Blizzard’s Kerrigan from Starcraft based both on Blizzard’s concept art and Steve Wang’s amazing sculpture. I started polypainting the body this weekend. The wings still need sculpting… so lots more to be done :)

  • Happy belated New Year everyone :) Well I’m sure everyone has seen Avatar by now – and if you did not shame on you ;) . Here’s a wonderful ‘making of’ featurette, which explains the great camera work solutions introduced in this production. [I used this silly image as a link, because it's simply epic :) ]

  • A couple of people told me that I’m in this video hehe – I didn’t realize it but after hearing that I had to take a look. Indeed there’s me working on a door which sounds like a plain piece of geometry but boy was that door an adventure [especially the texturing of it ;) ]

  • a WIP shot of Ophelia -I decided to procede in 2d instead of 3d – somehow I didn’t like the idea of doing this in 3d… it’s a challenge to try and finish her off in 2d too and I like that :)
