New site!

Hey guys I am pretty pleased to announce that I am moving my blog and have created a new blog/portfolio site. You can find my new site at:

brendon.nightmaremachine.org

Took a bit of work to get it up, and quite a few frustrations, but in the end I triumphed and owned it. There are a few small things here and there I wanna touch up but they'll come with time. I am in the process of also getting the Death King stuff moved over there as well.

So that wraps that up! Thanks for taking the time to check out my stuff.

Dominance War + Comic

I apologize for the lack of updates, I just have been extremely busy and I'll try to update this much more regularly. Anway, to start this off this is my entry into Dominance War V! I had a lot of fun making this and learned quite a bit!

Also I am starting a new (albeit temporary) blog for a comic I intend to self publish next month named Death King. You can find the blog and keep up with progress updates over at http://deathkingcomic.blogspot.com/ .

Onto the next project!

Face Rig

Just a homework assignment.

Fafnir Render

Phew, due to all the technical setbacks I finally got the bust of this character out and I am happy with how it turned out now that it is all said and done.

Rendered in Softimage/Mental Ray with XSI hair

Rig

Space Dragon

Gonna be the second project.

Character

This is pretty much the first character model I've spent a lot of time on. I'm not really all that satisfied with it, but I ran out of time to get it to where I wanted and ran into a lot of problems. The rig is just a quick one just to pose. Oh well! Next model should be cool. Gonna make a space dragon :)

One of the more frustrating things ( and I don't know why this happens) is that my texture is really crisp and sharp and detailed in photoshop, but doesn't show up that well when I render. Its like the rendering process takes detail out, which makes no sense to me.
