Sarah Kerrigan Sculpt

Back doing clay sculpture, I had an up until now an unused massive cut and pasting board (a relic from a bygone era used in magazine and newspaper production before computers put it out of work.)

It's now occupied with all my old sculpting and moulding gear taken out of storage and dusted off. I decided to create something new. So I decided to make a 3D pin up of Sarah Kerrigan from Starcraft 2.

A collection of my action figures.

I had the paint brushes stuck there as a mock up for the addition of the wing blades which I'll be including later on.

Zee Brush, "Edgar"

I'm currently still teaching myself Z Brush, a program in my humble opinion is probably the most awesome creative platform since I discovered MS Paint as a kid in the 90's. Ok that may be a stretch but back in 1994 MS Paint was the greatest.

Meet Edgar, yes I know most of what I've been creating has been a tad nightmarish and grim but stick around, it's all part of a far cooler bigger thing. Loosely based on Audrey 2 from 'Little Shop of Horrors" and the piranha plants from Mario Bros I wanted to make a cool venus fly trap monster. So using multiple component shapes for the head (sphere), flower (cone), soil (sphere), pot (cylinder)  and root (cylinder) coming out the side are all separate 'sub tools' that can be worked on independent of the others.

Here's a close up, I wanted to make the whole man eating plant concept more plant like especially when it came to the teeth as in different versions the teeth have always appeared more animal I wanted to make them seem more like thorns. 

I'm working on making the pot look more beaten up and giving way to the plant slowly beginning to escape, I also like the character of it.

Zee Brush

I began teaching myself how to use Zbrush after seeing some amazing work done online using the program. I've always been an avid sculptor since my days studying fine art and clay, is my medium (with sculpty a close second) so when I discovered software like Maya and 3Ds Max used digital clay I was to say the least intrigued, then along came Zbrush and I knew I found it. :)

This is the first completed painted head sculpt I've made so far, it's a fan art piece of Batman villain Killer Croc. 

The character has a great unusual face to create as he has been reimagined as everything from an MMA fighter with a bad skin condition, to a talking dinosaur so though there's a few parameters the characterisation is a free for all .   I've done other pieces which I'll be posting soon to show my progress.

Love lies Bleeding, a student work 2004

These are a collection of photos pulled from my TAFE scrapbook when I was first studying fine arts. Of all the subjects I took to sculpture more than any other and I produced a series of pieces made from clay.

The story behind Love Lies Bleeding was kind of an homage to Michelangelo's La Pieta and Heavy Metal magazine.  



It was the Angel of death with the virgin suicide its wings spread out to form a heart shape. Though I still have the piece the clay did not fare all that well before and after the firing however it will be made into a proper 3D model in zbrush.
