Character Designs for "Zombie"

Here are the final hero designs for the zombie animation I am working on. I also included some WIP of the monster.

Zombie Concepts

Here are some of the rough concept designs I have done for our zombie animation.

What I am doing.

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Mostly because I have been busy trying to prepaire for my journey to Germany. I am currently working on a few things that I will be posting about soon. The first is my new website. I recently have felt that I could do much better web design now that my knowledge on the subject is much greater then before. I decided to go for a "Little Big Planet, Coraline, and Nine," look that invokes a more playful feeling and something that fits the "Mittens" persona a little better. I will probably update my demo reel to better fit this theme as well, but I am currently working on a lot of projects I would like to finish first. One such example is the Zombie project. Some friends and I have recently come together to create a zombie animation for the Nation Undead website. We are currently in preproduction but will be doing some hardcore modeling soon. I am really satisfied with my group members and I believe we will have an amazing animation when everything is said and done. I will post my character designs when I have access to a better scanner. I also recently finished my internship at Ghost and am very satisfied with that project as well. You can find the finished animation on my 3D page and segments in my demo reel. Also, the clients I produced the animation for built a scale replica of the model for a presentation and the animation received a lot of positive attention. The images of the model and my website work in progress can be seen below. Toodles!

Heart Gadget

Here is the latest version of a project I am working on for the U of M and for Dr. Marie Johnson. The gadget is designed to pick up sound anomalies in the vessels of the heart. These anomalies can be traced back to blockage in the heart. In this example, the blockage was located in the Left Anterior Descending Artery. You can learn more about the device and the doctor in this article

Demon all ZBrushed

Finished Zbrushing the demon and done with most of the painting too. Just have to bring it into Maya now and make it look pretty. I was hoping to start the rig tonight but I am pretty tired. Think I will spend my day tomorrow on the rig.

Demon in ZBrush

I don't think this is too bad for using ZBrush mostly for poly painting. The model is still not complete, but I will finish it tomorrow.

Demon's Prison

This is the Prison scene I have been working on for Pixel Farm. A little demon will be teleporting from box to box. Each box that he is in will cause the demon to be a different color. In the end, this piece should have a kind of "light show" feel.
