The Shield

The theme for the challenge was 'black and white'. I have to say I'm rather pleased with the lion design. It was created using Blenders Bezier curve tool, which I then converted into a solid mesh and imported into Sculptris, adjusted the height, then re-imported it back into Blender. Next I baked it as a normal map and as a color map to use with the material node.

The shield was created using a NURBS tube converted into a mesh, with a modified Bezier circle for the edge.

Those Pearly Whites

A charcter that I did for a Weekend Challenge, it turned out that designing, sculpting, texturing, and rigging a model took more then the allotted time. Still, I persevered, and eventually my patience was rewarded.

Rigging shoulders is a pain.

Orion Project

My rather stylized interpretation of the Orion Project, done in a 1930's - 50's style.
