I have been spending time at the LA Zoo...

When I first got back to LA I picked up a membership to the LA zoo, and have been spending time hanging out /sketching the animals.  Here is a koala watercolor piece.  :)

iAnimate.net

I am starting up an iAnimate workshop tomorrow and was able to download their rigs earlier today.  This is just some fun testing out what they can do.  I have not been able to get the facials working yet in what I think is some backwards compatibility issues (I use Maya 2009), but they were fun to play with anyways.

I will post work in progress animations soon.

Starting back up some zbrush practice...

After checking out one of the Gnomon presentations, I was inspired to get back into zbrush and really delve into the program. The first model I am working will incorporate both hard and soft objects, hair and in-zbrush rendering.

I am currently close to being done with the character and about 30% into modeling out his mech suit. Most of it so far is still in the blocking out masses stage.

Also adding a WIP goblin from my sketchbook.
