Bill Cipher

Im now at a spot in my life where I have lots of unfinished projects, and I need to spin around and pick one to finish. This one got a little closer to being finished, but alas is another tribute piece. I have been really sucked into the new Gravity Falls and just love the supernatural being known as Bill Cipher.

As creepy as he is crazy. 

I really do enjoy making things detailed as they are colorful. Even so I can't call this piece finished either. I dont like the transition from his body to his arms, maybe some ambient occlusion will smooth that out? The reflections in his eye is a bit distracting too. The fire is a place holder until I can figure out some more realistic particles. I also want to give his arms and feet a tiny bit of texture, and make the texture on his hat and bow tie more apparent. Im feeling indecisive on how I should make his hat and bow tie look. Do I want it to be satin like and reflective or more cotton like and fuzzy? I hope Alex Hirsch retweets it sometime!

Earthbound with rings

So much to share, but nothing quite yet finished. I desperately need to update on here more, which I plan to do soon. I'll be honest, typing on Blogger for my updates is out of the way compared to other social media. Im sorry to say my last update was in January, but I am here now, and i will start it off with a tribute piece in the making.

Nintendo's Mother series has spoken to me in ways most games can not. I felt the urge to make some HD re-imagining pictures. Seems to be the only thing I can do to get the art itch out. Ive actually made an entire location from the super nintendo game Earthbound, where all the characters are left in a foggy unknown location. I will share more on that later. I do hope it becomes what I am picturing in the end. All used with maya, mental ray, and photoshop.

--------------------------------------------------------

Next on the docket is some 3D prints that will be available on my shop later this year, maybe even next month. First off I have a Silver ring inspired by Sir Francis Drake and the Uncharted Series.

I do not have a real life photo as of yet, but it is in my hand. It came out a little this was all. Next I have a bomberman inspired Ash Tray.

 Getting measurements in Maya is always so difficult for me! The actual dips in the ash tray for the cigs to sit on are not the right size, and the colors printed a little off. The fix for the colors should be simple enough. It may even be too much for an ashtray so I may end up redesigning it anyway. Why make something to expensive to produce right? You gotta make it right! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been working on other things with other people, but I don't feel the quality is up to par for my portfolio site. Until the next update please take care, and thank you for reading!

Zelda Kick!

Hello all! So as it turns out, Nintendo chose my piece to be in the Top 50 of their "Wind Waker HD Fan art Challenge". So my piece was displayed at the Symphony of the Goddess. You can also view my piece at 3:38 on Nintendo's Official Youtube page here! In case you havent seen my piece yet, here it is!

I also had an article written about me here, which is a huge honor! I'd just like to thank everyone who helped critique my piece during it's production!

In more recent news I have been making some new 3D prints including Majora's Mask, and the Ocarina of Time Medallions.

------------

I also have some beta renders of the medallions, and some sneak peaks on the Spiritual Stones. 

It is only a matter of time before my Zelda kick takes a break! The stones were a commission of sorts, and I made them in 2 days so I saw no harm in making them too. Everything but the art piece at the top will be available for 3D printing. The Talismans have some more issues to work out so those will have to wait. Thank you for stopping by!

Forsaken Voyage

Hello all! Its time for an update!

First Id like to show you this...

This is my submission for the Wind Waker Fan Art Contest. Maybe, just maybe I will get in the top 50? It's a 3D HD realistic/toon style scene of The Forsaken Fortress. Here is my reference image.

I think it came out beautifully! And that is saying something for only 9 days of working on it.

 If you have come here to hear about how you can buy some Talismans from Jackie Chan Adventures, well, you will have to wait a little bit longer. I had some color issues with the printing, but they will be done soon! Just to let you know that progress is being made, I sent myself another test.

Things like the rooster and tiger need work, but again, ill keep this updated. Thank you for stoping by!

Blue Spheres HD

So I have been working on this for a little while. My "re-imagining" of GRAB THE BLUE SPHERES! (Bonus level from Sonic 3 and Knuckles) The models are not mine, but I made everything else and fooled with the textures a bit. Oh the outer space texture was tingled from the talents of - http://dansyron.deviantart.com/ -This was just for fun, testing my skills. Hope you enjoy! Its perfect for a desktop background!
