Griffin's Nest

I just bought a copy of Artrage 3 for my tablet PC.  I like the programs simplicity.  Unlike other digital drawing programs, Artrage does not need to load a million plugins.  The drawing tools provide a very “pen and paper” feel with little to no tinkering with the existing brushes.  Best of all the price is only $4o.

I hope to produce a few quick drawings every week so I can try to maintain what limited drawing skills I have acquired in my lifetime.  I will be adding these drawings to the gallery in my side bar, so drop by once in a while and tell me what you think.

I am taking a stab at modeling in ZBrush again. This is my first pass on a model I am doing for a friend. I started this in Maya then imported to ZBrush for texturing, details and new topology. Tired now so here’s the images.

I always have several personal projects going at once. To be honest I usually want to do more than I can actually handle. I am modeling this elephant with the idea of rigging him for animation. I will continue to update this image as I progress.

There is nothing like a good competition to get the creative juices flowing. The “Dominance War” is a high end modeling competition that inspires 3D artists to produce a stunning array of eye candy that will keep a 3D art junky like myself satisfied for hours.
