Yes, after 12 years (May 13th 2005 to be exact), its time to move the
mailing list to a new provider. For anyone who doesn't know about the list, every month or so I send out an email letting people know when I've added new artwork to my gallery. While social media is great, a lot of social media sites don't show you all of the posts from the people you follow. So the only way to be sure to see ALL of the artwork I post is my mailing list delivered directly to your email address.
Just visit this page and put in your email to subscribe. It'll send you
a confirmation email to make sure you're not a robot, and you should be
all set.

As an extra incentive, I will be releasing some new artwork on Wednesday
morning that will be exclusive to this new mailing list. So sign up
today, it just takes a minute of your time.

Monolith Artifact 1 3D Sketch
Another Oculus Medium experiment, our intrepid explorers come across a giant alien artifact, a monolith stuck in the earth like it had been dropped from the sky.
This software has possibilities beyond creatures and characters, it could also be used for previs and sets. The artist can sculpt a previs scene, then invites the director into the vr space. The director looks at the scene, makes comments, the artist can sculpt ideas and make changes in realtime, and the director can move around the virtual set taking snapshots of potential camera angles. Basically, a more flushed out version of what James Cameron was doing on Avatar. The potential for a more collaborative realtime environment is immense.

Inc Oasis Wall 1
Link Removed
"We cautiously made our way closer to the city built in the shadow of the Citadel. What at first appeared insignificant now seemed impenetrable. Tall walls circled the place, and guard towers served as a reminder that you were watched at all times."
I decided that another painting of the Oasis wall was in order, this time with a more dramatic camera angle to show off the perspective and to illustrate the rough sands blown by the winds. All painted in photoshop with the exception of Inc the robot, which was originally a render that I swiped from another painting then painted over to change the pose and lighting.

Oculus Medium Sculpt 1
Sculpted in Oculus Medium in VR, then exported to 3dsmax and rendered in vray.
The Skagin is a small creature that lives on the moon of a distant planet circling a distant star, during the day they burrow into the soft soil to stay hidden, at night they venture out to scavenge from the carcasses left behind by the day predators.
