Brad Pitt Model Pass 01

I just wanted to model a head and really focus on trying to be as realistic as possible....for me.
I think I need to work on his neck, ears and eye rinkles more.

BulletMan Post 3. (COLOR)

I think I'm finished with this guy.  It was a fun project.  All the character lighting and color was done in different zbrush renders that were comped together in photoshop.

Super Emit Post 05.

I have a lot of lighting passes that I'm going to play with to make the different materials look more realistic. I just dropped a dirty texture over the whole thing to give you the feel I'm looking for. Maybe I'll get this done tomorrow. :)

Super Emit Post 04.

I'm really getting excited about this now.  It's starting to look how I imagined.  I rendered a couple of different material types and comped them together with some color.

Grandpa Sculpt Post 12.


Joy and Tom Studios just finished painting all 6 casts of my Grandpa Rice Sculpt. I can't believe how great they came out. I don't think that I've ever worked on anything that was this special to me.

Special thanks to Joy and Tom Studios...you folks rock!

Super Emit Post 01.

I want to create model that shows how I think my son imagines himself while playing super heroes. He often acts like he has the abilities of several super heroes all at once. He specifically likes Superman, Batman and Iron man the most. I'm starting with his head.

Grandpa Sculpt Post 11.

Joy and Tom Studios are working on 7 casts of my Grandpa sculpt and are even going to paint them to match the original I created. It is so cool to see them sitting on the table there.

Joy and Tom Studio Website.

I also designed Joy and Tom Studios website. http://joyandtomstudios.com/

I've attached a reduced version of the two pages I completed for them. All the sculptures except for the logo were created by Joy and Tom Studios.

Joy and Tom Studios logo.

I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to design Joy and Tom Studio's new logo.  This was a really fun project.

Grandpa Sculpt Post 10.

It's funny that my last post of Grandpa's Sculpt would end on 10.  I couldn't afford to make a real bronze out of it so I painted it instead.  Someday I would like to get copies made and give them to my family.  For now it will just have to set on my bookshelf.

Grandpa Sculpt Post 9.

This is just some photoshop work to see how I want to paint it. I always envisioned a bronzed look with a steal color.


Grandpa Sculpt Post 8.

I took some better pictures.

Changing to a Monster WIP 06

OK, I've decided to go back to the more human face. I think it lost something having the wolf take over so much of his face.
