Promotional image created for Dave Steele's 'i-con'; a free online cyberpunk novel (found at http://arksanctum.org). Modelled and rendered in modo203 and 301.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:43:30 +0000 http://dabarltrop.cgsociety.org/gallery/565791

All done in the new modo301 (fantastic program!). Except levels adjustment in photoshop elements. A macabre theme. I suppose it's a comment on the concept of animal human hybridisation. But really, it's whatever you make of it.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:59:59 +0000 http://dabarltrop.cgsociety.org/gallery/551732

I'm still learning modo. This was all done in modo 203, apart from the clouds which were scanned cotton wool. I'm looking forward to doing more now I have modo 301. I hope you like my yellow figure, she's very sensitive though, so be kind to her...]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:27:07 +0000 http://dabarltrop.cgsociety.org/gallery/551725

This was put together like a cut-up; drawings were scanned and assembled in Photoshop Elements, then additional lettering, inking and shading were done in Corel Painter. Traditional media used: felt pen, pencil and white correction pen.

I'm not sure if it's any good as it's just some 'mess' that fell out of my head. But I do hope someone will get something positive from it...

Thanks for looking ]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:14:39 +0000 http://dabarltrop.cgsociety.org/gallery/463426

An early character modelled and rendered in Lightwave 6.5 about 4 years ago, I know this critter doesn't have sub surface scattering, displacement maps and all that, but it's still worth a look I hope.

I drifted away from working in 3D not long after I did this, but just recently I came across modo, which I've been experimenting with. I'm hoping to post some of my new output here soon.

My current tool kit consists of modo 202 and Painter X; both of which keep amazing me. Graphics software has come so far recently, it's great!

The idea was an homunculus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homunculus) in the moonlight out doing the bidding of his master, who dwells beneath the mausoleum. The creature has spotted you hiding behind a tombstone. What were you doing there in the graveyard? No matter, he will take you inside to see Paracelsus forthwith.

Hope you enjoy this image, comments welcome...
