Update on Current Events

    I would like to give you or anyone a little update. Also Thank You Everyone who ever read or check up on me every month or year. I am not dead, been very busy. Art work or I should say fine art has taken a lot of my time and effort and it’s time to get back to 3D. I am currently working on a project that will allow me to explore my options in the 3d world. I am calling it SPACE FIGHTER. It’s my own original story that takes place in the future and involves a lot of interesting characters and events. I have been working on it for about 4 months starting in Preproduction class and hope one day becomes an awesome action cinematic. Well we don’t know the future but it’s interesting to think of one.

   
     These are just some ideas on directions I drew up to give me a base to work from. I’ve actually started getting some help in drawing my vision into reality. Once I get some awesome concept art I can start making this happen. Only time will tell.   

Below is my color palette
The one under that are the aliens in the story-
still working on the details

 

 

I have also worked on some logo designs. One of them is for a friend and his website (shopelot.ru ) and my own logo that I will be using to sign my work. Will try to update more often when I have something interesting to show.

Work for Experience

I haven't posted much in a while so I've decided to add a logo I've done for Delex Air Cargo Services, LLC and an architectural concept for building 110 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. These were early commissions in 2013 I was fortunate to be a part of. The logo is on a truck which is awesome.

     I would like to thank everyone who has helped me finish my 2013 demo reel. This reel was made with the guidance of the wonderful professors at DMAC. They have motivated and inspired me over the years. I would like to thank everyone at Autodesk for their great improvements to the software, without them this would not be possible and Karolis Mikalauskas for helping me finish on time.

 This was probably the first time I made a 3d video. This was made a year and a half ago. Have to say had a lot of fun and coffee.

P.S. Not for Profit, just some student work.

Some past and present work from Conceptart

These 3d renders were originally part of my Demo Reel but I decided to just post them here so I didn't have to upload a huge video, These models were made in Maya 2011 and textured by a combination of Zbrush and Photoshop, but they still need a lot of texture work. I used concept art I found on the net and took some liberties when making some pieces. I can't take any credit for the designs of the characters and respect the artists who originally made the concept art. I have only tried to recreate them in 3d for the purpose of modeling and eventually getting some work.  The Skrull is based on concept art from Jeremy Love, Armadillo Tank concept art from Carlo Balassu, and the purple demon based on concept art found on freakygaming.com by an anonymous artist. Thank You for the art.
