This is my take on Sam Keith’s The Max. The Maxx is a very abstract character that changes form quite a bit from image to image, but this my culmination of the character existing in the Outback of Pangaea. I wanted this image to fall somewhere between surreal and realistic much like the character and comic do, so hopefully it achieves this.
I started this project a long long time ago and have worked on it on and off. Ihave no idea how long I ever actually spent on it but probably way too long. It’s always been my experimental piece so a lot of the stuff on here I hadn’t tried before at the time. It took me down some rabbit holes between not having a strong enough computer to complete the sculpt at one point, obsessing over color detail from all angles thinking about maybe a 3D print or animated poster which lead to wanting to attempt a real hair sim (which ended up being a deep deep rabbit hole, but I settled on a sculpt with a little paint over in the final image here). I decided I finally wanted to wrap up this project so I spent a week wrapping it up and putting together renders for this composite.
The models were started in Maya and finished in Zbrush. Textures were started in Photoshop and finished in Zbrush and Cinema 4D Body Paint and are all hand painted. Final renders we created in Maya Mental Ray and composites in Photoshop. The only minor airbrushing is applied to the hair and feathers, and a couple small composite mask bleeds around the rock.

Burger King Bear Editor's Pick
This is from a commercial for Burger King for a give away of the stuffed Coca-Cola bears. It utilizes a "fake-fur" shader I developed based on anisotropic specular and deformation mapping. I approached it from a painterly perspective rather than from a sc49569 Views

Say Cheese mouth seq Editor's Pick
This is a sequence form my short film "Say Cheese". To make the image I took lots of photographs of mouths, basically I went around with a digital camera and made all my friends and collages say "ahh". I then composited the most disgusting elements into a82525 Views

In this image I intended to recreate the classic 'guts' look,
purulent, humid, slimy, plump, sanguineous.....
It was a starting point for another big project,

As you can easily understand from the title of this image, I've tried to recreate
a typical underwood environment,
with an ecosystem mainly formed by flowers, grass, little plants, etc.
Furthermore, I had particular attention to the camshot, in o60582 Views
