This is a character I created for my fully animated senior
thesis/film. His name is Lt. Edmund J. MacArthur

In the film, Nigel breaks into a tomb belonging to the Revolutionary War hero… Lt. Edmund J. McArthur. Nigel Orm knows the rumors about the valuables buried with the Lieutenant. After busting through the tomb door with a crow bar in hand, the thief cautiously creeps towards the sarcophagus that holds the decayed remains. Sliding the heavy lid open, he begins his search for anything that may hold monetary value, ignoring the disgusting sight of the putrid corpse. But as he does; something is awakened from its slumber and is about to give Mr. Orm the scare of his life.

modeled, textured, and lit by me.

This is a bust of a character I created called "Shark Man." I started out building a base mesh in Maya and then transferring it over to Mudbox for some detailing. I'm very new at this and I think I'm going to switch over to Zbrush since that is what most people are using in the industry.

I plan on modeling the whole body along with armor in Zbrush and then onto rendering.

I drew this bad boy when I was 16 with vine charcoal. I'm really proud of it and I've included it with my portfolio ever since. I just love how the eyes turned out. It's like your staring into the face of fear!

I love to draw the female... and one day I decided to have some fun and draw a realistic style of the blonde woman "Courtney" in my pizzeria drawing. The eyes are the best part; they really give it that extra oomph and bring out the character of the subject.

modeled, textured and lit this lab scene set in an old castle

I drew this creature in 1998. After learning how to paint in Photoshop and using a Wacom Tablet, I came across this guy and at the suggestion of my buddy, I decided to render it out.

This concept piece was created in Photoshop. I created the character a few years ago. I was flipping through some old sketch books and saw it and immediately redrew it in a more dynamic pose and proceeded to digitally paint it.

Let me know what you think!

This concept piece was produced from an exercise in concept class my Sophomore year. We had to go around the city area in Sarasota and draw from life, then take the images we drew and produce an exaggerated drawing of that scene. Me and some buddies were eating in pizzeria by the beach and this guy walked in with 2 ladies. So this is what I came up with after the initial drawing.

Please! Feedback!
