Trident Layers

Here is an illustration I did to sharpen my skills, not for profit. I wanted to try and come up with a new project for the TN 425 class I teach and decided to do a project that had logo design and organic modeling. My kids were chewing some Trident gum and I thought the illustration on the packaging was a great concept and executed well. So I tried to do a 3D version of one of the packages. If time permits, I'll try doing a few more. I used ZBrush for modeling and detailing the fruit. The logo and final renders were all done in Modo and composited  in Photoshop.

Nossi phone

Here is a project I did as a demonstration for the TN425 class I teach. It basically shows how to layout type in illustrator and model/render it along with a simple phone in Modo.

Predator cub

This was an illustration I did just for fun, not for profit. I wanted to do a kid related sports illustration with a mascot and team logo done in 3D. Plus I wanted to tryout the new fibermesh feature in ZBrush 4r5. The illustration was done with ZBrush, Modo and Photoshop.

Kid Illustrations

Here are some spot illustrations I did for work. They were for a children's learning kit. All were rendered and modeled in Modo except for the doll. She was modeled and rendered in ZBrush.

Phillipians Illustration

Here is an illustration I did for our church. Our pastor did a series of sermons on the book of Phillipians. Modeled and rendered in Modo.

Whiny Bear

Here is an illustration I did for a magazine at work. The article spoke how parents could use teddy bears to help toddlers who have a tendency to whine a lot.

The bear was modeled in ZBrush. Then a low res mesh was exported into Modo where I created the fur and did the final render. Some post work done in Photoshop.

The first sketch I did for this illustration was rejected by the art director. He said the bear looked too angry. So, I had him sit on the floor in my office and act out exactly what he wanted. I quickly sketched it on a napkin and he approved it.

Elephant

Here is an illustration I did the first of this year. I came up with the idea for this after reading an article written by a fellow employee.

The elephant was modeled and textured in ZBrush. The file was then exported to Modo. The church was modeled in Modo as well as the final render. Some post work done in Photoshop.
