New Modeling Project

Here is a character that I have been putting together in zbrush and maya! I have been learning zbrush as I go, and I think it turned out pretty good! This character is designed by Melanie Joe.

The Box of Good and Evil

Revisiting an assignment from the beginning of the year.
I had fun rewriting this one!

Some designs for Katinka and the World Eating moth she encounters.

Inspiration: Norman Rockwell

Here is a project I have been working on for some time. The idea is to select one of the works of Norman Rockwell, and then do a Before and an After painting. My paintings here are based off of Rockwell's "The Charwomen." In my story the old charwoman works every night cleaning at the theater. But while she's there she reads the discarded playbills and tries to remember the story of the ballet that night, so that when she gets home, she can recount that story to her young grand kids, who love ballet.
