One Bad Apple...

Nobody like apples. Not even pears. Weekend Challenge entry. I actually won the competition, much to my surprise.

If you Want Something Drawn...

Draw it yourself. A surprisingly popular Weekend Challenge Entry.

The First Coins

After a hiatus, I decided to get back in entering the BA Weekend Challenge. The theme for this one was 'money' so decided To model the first coins, minted by the king of Lydia. Rendered in LuxRender.

A Most Excellent Adventure

The theme for the challenge was "time travel", so I entered a render of the phone booth from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Tiger, tiger, burning bright...

An M26 Pershing.

Cannon

My first Weekend Challenge entry rendered in Cycles. The design of the cannon is loosely based off a Civil War howitzer.

Shallow Seas

This is perhaps my most ambitious project to date, texture wise. The mermaid character in the scene uses two materials each with its own set of textures.

A vertex color map was used as a mask for the texture. I made extensive use of image maps when creating her – color, normal, alpha, specularity, and specular color for her ‘vest’. Her dolphin half is loosely based off Fraser’s dolphin, which in hindsight may have been a mistake, given that it’s a somewhat obscure species.
