Mistborn: Steel Inquisitor

I'm reading a really cool book series called Mistborn, there are a lot of interesting ideas in it, so far I am enjoying it very much! This dude is what I imagine the Steel Inquisitors look like. They have super creepy stakes driven through their eyes right out the back of their skulls! I think this might be the most gruesome thing I ever modeled, haha!

Fire Chariot Girl

Some sunday doodling on ipad using Procreate. This is CheriEtte...heh. Inspired by crazy hockey goalie padding :) I havent had mch time for personal stuffs, but I've kinda latched onto this idea, and I've got a hankerin' ta build her and animate the transformation sequence. She jumps up in the air and clicks her heels together and POOF! When she lands she's in a firey chariot...CHAAARGE! I'm thinking maybe she has a cool fire whip, and maybe a mace somewhere stashed in that chariot...and I feel very strongly she is the sort to yell "BOOP!" when she uses the flaming mace.

Eel Pirate

Yarr! It's Eelshanks Mcflintlock, the eel pirate thing. He sort of evolved from a session playing with dynamesh in Zbrush, then I started experimenting with extracting mesh and stuff, and tharrrr he was. for the life of me I couldn't find a reference photo of the back-side of a flintlock, so I put metal plates with screws, similar to the front...later I was finally told by a friend that it's all wood...oops! I was thinking about fixing that and adding a starfish or two to the base...but I think it's time to move on to the next zbrush adventure.

Kudzu, the Bayou Elf

 

Being back home in Mississippi on vacation inspired some Zbrushin! This is Kudzu, the bayou elf. Don't be fooled by his crawdad spear, he's pleased to meetcha. Anyone who's spent any time in the American southeast has probably seen the kudzu vines covering any surface that stays still long enough for it to take root. Most people consider it a pesky weed but it does turn abandoned buildings, lampposts, and fallen trees into fantastic and mysterious shapes beneath a blanket wonderland of greenery. This little guy is right at home in a nice patch of kudzu. :)

"Thistle"

I've got a long-standing fascination with weeds. I question the notion that some flowers are pests based purely on the fact that they don't require your constant hovering with a mister bottle. Every time I see a dandelion growing in a crack in the sidewalk, I think, "heck yeah."
