CTNx 2011

2011-11-22T21:29:00.001-08:00

Just got back from my first CTNx, and thought I'd share a few photos or whatever. The above is from Gentle Giant studios. These are the best 3D prints i've ever seen! Time to learn Zbrush...

Kent Melton was doing sculpture demos in the foyer.

these are trad sculpts that were on display, Chavant clay i think. as you can see I was very interested in anything sculpting haha.

This was actually from the "bong district" as I like to call it, in downtown LA. ninja turtle and bart simpson glasswork, incred!

Got a tour of the studio with some other rad Canadians. We also got to see a screening on the old disney lot on a different day, shucks!

Oh and there was costumed life drawing happening in the foyer at CTNx too. This old couple were really funny, here they are as pirates, and again as like a french butler/maid or something.

For anyone who foolishly didn't make it to the convention, they recorded all the panels and they will be up on the CTNx website real soon. Definitely worth watching. k that's it!

these are mostly people that were lurking around this weird show we were at. The top left is one of the doods from Cowards.

This guy had no pants and looked exactly like this.

Mike and Connor, kinda.

Top guy here is supposed to be Geoff I think.

Goth band and zombie me

2011-10-09T22:03:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a funny little animation of this band. Not coloured like this though, its just pencil. I'm thinking of animating something next in this kind of style though. Like loose pen clean-up and coloured with markers. Might be neat!

And this is a zombie version of the picture I have as my header on my portfolio blog.

You may notice that I have cleared out all the old 'school era' stuff from this blog. It's out with the old and in with the new! Summer is coming, the weather is getting nice, gonna be outside drawing lots and posting it all here in a regular and unfiltered fashion, so stick around :)
