A quick 3D CGI mockup of a friend's blog banner

Here's a quick 3D CGI mockup of a friend's blog banner I did tonight. I don't usually do environments, but I was fascinated by his concept.

Here's a link to his original banner: Pharaoh's Den:

 
 and here is my reworking of the concept:

The Green Hornet's Black Beauty Redesign

Earlier this year, I saw a painting by Alex Ross of the Green Hornet's Black Beauty car that he redesigned. I thought it was so stunning, I decided to recreate it in 3D.

Above is the original painting, below is my rendering of the car, modeled using Silo and rendered in Autodesk Maya Mental Ray.



Baton from Tron: Legacy


Hover Tank

 
 

Lotion Bottle


Curved Ceramic Blade


Rocket Revolver

I decided to add some of my creative computer graphics art in addition to the sketch-a-day stuff. I used a program called Neverwinter Silo and Autodesk Maya to create CGI shots of my visualizations.

Tetsujin 28

Today's sketch is my take on an old childhood pal, Gigantor (or as he's known in Japan, Tetsujin 28).

The Beginning

Something I've wanted to do for sometime. I'm going to try to do a sketch-a-day. Okay, okay, I know it's been done and done to death. Yeah, I know it's not an original idea, but this isn't for you. This is for me. I've been an artist in one form or another my entire life. My wife just passed away last month and I'm in the process of recreating myself. For my new beginnings I have to go back and explore my beginnings. My start, my "Stroke of Creation" was art and music. Thus, a sketch-a-day.

To begin with, well, I've already done three sketches over three days so I'll just post the first three in the order I've done them. The sketches are all done on a Wacom Intuos 4 Digital Drawing Tablet and I'm using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro as the program for drawing them.
