Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 This is Clover, the lucky St. Pat's Day dragon :D 

Born with a gold coin to guard until St. Patrick's Day, lucky clover dragons (unlike those stingy 'ol Leprechauns) really want to be found, cause they cant fly with that heavy coin! While waiting out in clover patches they get kinda bored, and like to pass the time nibbling ridges around their coins. So, go on out and start looking for 4 leaf clovers today.....good luck friends!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Happy Mardi Gras everybody!

HULK THROOOOWWWW!!

SWEEETDOOOOOOOM!

 I started  on Valentine's with one bonbon and ended up with this, um...Braveheart kilt lifting scene re-enactment a day later because I wanted to play with Keyshot and new stuffs in Zbrush! Why? Oh, I don't know....it just kinda happened :P Happy Day-After-Valentine's-When-You-Can-Buy-Mountains-Of-Cheap-Candy Day y'all!!!!

Happy 2015!

I suppose it's still new Year's day for some folks, so here's to a happy 2015!

    Even though its the year of the sheep, this New Year's my mind drifted to thoughts of the pig. I've read that as pets, pigs are super clean, but when penned up where they cant get under a nice shady tree, they'll roll about in the mud to keep nice and cool. Seems like an excellent attitude for 2015. 2014 was chock full of mudholes...but mudholes can serve their purpose for the resourceful. May all your mudholes be cool and refreshing, and, in time, may you find you're rolling in a flowerbed, my friends :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is well and spending time with loved ones, on adventures, or at least someplace cozy and nice at this lovely time of year when so many folks are celebrating so many different things, in so many beautiful ways.

Gorrumblebee!

Heh....fuzzy.

Buzzy buzz buzz. It's a....gorilla....bee...dude. An excuse to play with more fiber-mesh stuffs.
I started out with him on a purpley flower but then I thought, a dandelion would be ideal for packing as much fiber mesh into one session of zbrush as possible, and it still renders in only a few minutes!
(plus, I can probably re-purpose the pupley flower on the lapel of my proper-chap dragon!)

If your nanners have bruises on 'em in the morning, gorillabee was probably fighting crime in your kitchen. :P

Proper Chap

Have you seen the well to do, up and down Park Avenue? 

This is Sir William Wingsworth, and he travels exclusively by dragon-heated dirigible, as any civilized dragon should. None of that flapping about for him. (although he does secretly wish for a larger wingspan:P)

I'm experimenting with light caps in Zbrush, he's got skin shader 4 on him, and jellybean on the eyes/gemstone...but eventually I'd like to get this guy into maya and see what he looks like with some Metal Ray rendering stuffs, and brighten up those eyes!

Now that I look at it, he really *does* need a monocle.....and a flower for his lapel...ah, an excuse to revisit this later!!

oh, almost forgot....color turntable! His whiskers and eyebrows sparkle a bit though, LOL!
