From "1s and 0s" to "on my desk"






Well after a couple months of anticipation, the folks over at Ownage finished my print of Dr. Root! It came out to be 13" from the top of his hand to the bottom of the base. I could not be happier with how it turned out. It's in transit and I should have it on my desk this week. I am so amazed at how much detail they were able to get out of the sculpt and how well they did with the paint job! Ownage rules!

Not much progress on Hulk. I got distracted with another small project. We're doing a "Saturday morning cartoon" themed project at Robot this month, so I've been working on a 'Panthro' bust from 'Thundercats'. Just need to finish the nunchukka and the base and I'll post some images.

Slowly making progress....

I will finish this sculpt if it kills me! Made some more progress over the last month with an hour here and there. I'm starting to detail the hands then I'll go in and add some more details to the body. I'm really taking my time on this project but I hope to have it finished before the end of the year. Maybe I can make Wolverine with the same mesh and save me some time. We shall see.....

Knowing is half the battle.....




I've been really bad about keeping this blog updated....never enough time. I posted this a few weeks ago on zbrush central in my sketchbook thread and on the Robot blog. Our latest theme at Robot was GIJOE, so I made a J. Scott Campbell - styled Baroness model in zbrush. Looking at it now, I think I should have exaggerated the legs and made them longer... which is funny because they were longer at one point, but my brain wanted to make them normal proportioned. I may go back and push that further and come up with a better pose for her. I also tried to be ambitious and make the Cobra HISS tank for her to lean against but I never found the time to finish it off. Oh well, maybe I'll come back to it later.......probably not.
