Lack of Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates. My mum had just undergone a hip-replacement surgery last week and I'm keeping her company daily. I will resume my daily doodles once she has settled down.

Thanks for the understanding.

Yoda's Expressions

Just like to share with you folks this 3D model of Yoda I did a year ago during my in-between-jobs period. I had so much fun modeling, creating morph-targets and tweaking my creation.

For you folks out there new to 3D animation, I recommend you give Lightwave 3D a try although we all know 3D Studio Max and Maya are the bigger players here. It's a lot easier to pick up (no icons to decipher) and the morph targets are embedded in the original mesh, unlike the rest where you have to clone the original and tweak from that. Imagine if you need to change the base mesh, you will have to manually changed the rest of the morph targets as well.

Well, for Lightwave you won't have to. Any tweak to the base mesh will propagate down to the rest of the morph-targets. Now how cool is that ?

Ogre

One of my drawings from a few months ago. This is one of the samples I sent for a job applicaton to MassiveBlack for a concept artist post recently.

Woman in Bikini

Haven't drawn a woman in bikini for ages and realized my hand has been real rusty. The first picture was deemed too "manly" by some from a local forum. The second one has been modified by upsizing the top and curvify the bottom. Face has been made rounder and less aggressive-looking as well.

Which one would you prefer ? Let me hear from you.

Woman in Cheong-sam and Cute Bunny.

This pose is copied from a Christie Chung's slimming ad in the papers.



Here's another quick doodle of a cute bunny in realtime.

Batman and Superman

One of my favourite comic book characters, Batman. I do enjoy drawing more than coloring. As you can see here, my coloring really sucks.




Superman's not one of my favourites, I must admit. But still a fun character to draw. Didn't watch the latest Superman movie cos I feel it sucks. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can ever replace the ubiquitous Christopher Reeves.

Brendan Roth just looks too Hispanic to be Superman in my opinion.

Icthyocentaur

“The Icthyocentaur has the torso, arms and head of a human, the tail of a dolphin and the forelegs of a horse or lion. This is the aquatic version of a centaur“.

I've came up with this creature for the "Creature Feature of February" in Wetcanvas.

What do you think of it ?
