shark week

every year discovery channel dedicates an entire week to sharks in hopes that they can appease them from coming on land and killing all mankind. this is that week. so grab a bucket of chum, sit back, and be terrified.

cowboys and aliens

i love me a good western! specially ifin it gots james bond, 'ndiana jones, 'n space aliens in it!


with each tv ad i see i am looking more and more forward to seeing this film. as long as it doesn't contain a scene in which shia labeouf and a band of friendly monkeys swing down from the jungle canopy to help out harrison ford, i think i'll enjoy it.

spaceman (7-17-11)

i've been geeking out lately to old school NASA stuff. it blows my mind to see the kind of equipment that was used to get humans from the earth to the moon. i think a ps3 could probably have run the entire apollo 11 mission by itself and still had the hardware to let the guys at mission control have a COD tourney. anyway, all that geeking out eventually inspired this retro astronaut:

graphic frame(7-13-11)

just messing around in sketchbook pro the other day with a heavy chisel marker and this was born. obviously the style was inspired by graphic novels. however, there was really no intended story, hence the cop-out word bubble question mark. so i'll just leave this one open to interpretation. throw in a comment if you have something clever for him to say.

ogres hate jorts

it's been a busy week and i havent had time to do much of anything so i thought i'd post some older stuff. here's an ogre i sculpted a couple of semesters ago in zbrush. i guess he's kind of my own vision of shrek. here's the turn around:
here he is with a preliminary texture, this part is still a WIP:
his anger stems from the fact that he has to wear jean shorts. ogres hate jorts.

forget meteors and climate change, dino lung cancer was the real culprit.
