The Vikings

 Here are some images from the second machine I've worked on while at Cego. Finished in late 2015 and it is called Vikings....can you guess the overall theme?
I used Zbrush and Maya for the 3D work. Photoshop for texturing and what not and After Effects was used for compositing. The overall shapes where quickly blocked out in Zbrush- especially for the more organic things. Then over to Maya for retopologizing - then back to zbrush for some quick and easy Uvs, a bit of sculpting, then some polypaint and extrating of normal and texture maps. Rendering was done i MentalRay.

 - The top bar from the frame on the main screen. Inspired by the "Jörmungandr" (or "midgårdsorm" in Danish) from Norse mythology. In my version the one "worm" has to tails and the other two heads - it is not a mistake....shhhhh - 

 

- A line up of some of the symbols -

- The first sketch for this symbol, over the model to the finished image -    

- The same model was used for a side-scolling mini game, here's an early sketch, a concept and the 3D model -

ho-ho-ho

more hands....

Did a couple more hands - this time the model is my very own....good practice

Classic Drawing - Skull

It's been a while since last I did some more classic drawing. I spend about one hour - give or take on the skull. The hand probably 20-30 minutes. It is very rough - and especially the hand would have benefited from a better construction. Think I'll do some more - looks like I could use the practice.

Day 22

google image search on tigers - running out of ideas - things I want to do - in the limited time frame that is available to me - if I want to get a drawing done each day that is. So sketches - really fast ones, focusing mainly on movement.  

Inktober Day#21

Day 21
So.....I have been a naughty boy - I haven't done my homework for the last couple of days....I will see if it is possible to remedy this - making a "catch-up" post or something....
Well for this day 21 I did a giraffe with its head high up in the sky. Last piece of heavy watercolor paper so wont be doing more work with ink and water for now.....
I got a little impatient and so the ink and water got a little "runny" and things that weren't supposed to started to merge....wanted to start over but alas last piece of paper forced me to finish it this way.

Day 15
A sheep - ink and water on paper. Two "versions" today - scan and photo from mobile....actually thinks the photo is better than the scan.

Inktober Day#14 (&13)

Day 14 (&13)

So since I didn't do anything yesterday I made 2 sketches today. Simple shapes - I really like the design of the mouse, but the drawing itself was pretty rushed. For some reason it felt better drawing the bear.
Two weeks and bit to go....I have to say I am starting to doubt weather or not I will "make" it.  

Inktober Day#12

Day 12
So we are moving away from the sea and into the woodland realm. Starting with a rather larger "critter" - the Moose. This one is pretty pleased with himself - and why shouldn't he be? He is a magnificent beast.
Both sketch and the more "final" result. Really happy with this one - got the sketch the way I wanted it from the get go. Only two minor kinks; again I got a hold of color pencil instead of my col-erase - and that show in the ink. The other thing is the fact that both my light grey markers seems to be due for a retirement.

Day 11

And to round of this weekends theme with creatures of the sea; it's a happy whale - Yeah.
Perhaps slightly overweight, plenty of blubber - so no more krill for you today mister!
