Frankenstein monster WIP

2009-01-18T15:09:00.000-08:00

Update : 30/12/09

Some new updates to my frankenstein character :

Heres my latest update to this project. Ive just tested rendering with displacement maps from zbrush. 32bit, float. Ive also started painting the colour and bump maps for Frankie.
So, heres a mental ray render with a bit of fusion post and one before postwork.

/Erik

Thought Id share my next WIP. Ive decided to do an illustration based the Frankenstein monster.
Ive done a few google searches and decided to go for a good mixture of existing Frankenstein designs. Just a quick look at the reference and then work some. See how it turns out.

Im working in Zbrush for the character and environment, but will do the final render in 3DSmax.

Ive started doing the head, and heres a couple of shots so far...

2009-01-18T13:01:00.000-08:00

Happy new year!

Ok, Ive had a proper look through my old hardrive and found some more old work(some of it is really old). Not too happy with all of this stuff, but ill post it any ways:)

This was the cover illustration for
an illustrated book I did together with my wife
a few years ago. "En som Josefine"

This is a photoshop painting, light and shading study.

A 3d/2d comp. Head was made in zbrush
and the rest plus paintover in PS.

Old illustration done in Lightwave, based on an
actual dream I had.

Just a testrender of a female body model I did.
3dsmax, mental ray

A zbrush render of the same female model.

A character "sketch" for a project that I ended up never doing.

An early-process illustration for a
book cover illustration. Im actually
more pleased with this than what ended
up as the final piece.

Book-cover for fantasy-novel.

Just some drwaing phun.

Another old illustartion. LW, PS.

Another book-cover. ZBrush, 3Dsmax

Zbrush model.
