And heres some of the 2D stuff ive been working on! 

Ive also been sculpting a bit in a great free 3D sculpting software called Sculptris, would highly recommend it if you want to practice sculpting without the hassle of making a base mesh. 

About time I updated this blog with some work! Ive been mostly buisy with my first year out in the CG Industry , but now as its coming to an end I have a bit of time to reflect and gather together all that I have learnt. Anywho ill start posting up some of the stuff ive done thought the year although allot of my commercial work cant be shown yet.

To start off heres a series of adds I worked on at a studio named Toybox. They were for a University named CPIT and I did pretty much all the modelling and animation of the curves.

1930's Ford Phaeton

So ive just finished the modelling side of things and as i dont know how long itl be untill i can texture it i thought id post up an update of it so far.

Alien Turnaround

Hey all its been a while but im back, this piece is my latest piece that im planning to add to my showreel. It was intended as an anatomy study with a bit of a twist. I used Photoshop, Maya, Mudbox and After Effects to make them and it took me about 6 weeks (with many hours spent figuring out all the kinks :P)
Anyways less talk and heres my work..

Half Year Showreel 2010

Hey there, well this is basically the best of my work so far before i hit the project part of my second of two years at college. I made it to get some practice at making a reel and to get some feedback on my work. Hope you enjoy it, sam.

Talos

So this was my final image for the CGNZ Jason and the Argonauts competition. Many Hours of labour were poured into this and still could be but i think ill let it rest for now. The idea for it was that the ancient Greek Gods were actually Aliens and therefore all their 'mystical powers' were actually just extremely advanced technology.
Ill add some of the concept art for him below and a workup of the final image aswell as a link to my thread in the competition.

Cheers,
sam
