Chihiro

The process of creating a video game character version of Chihiro from Spirited Away, Definatly one of my favorite Ghibli movies.  Would like to do more characters from movie but will wait n see.

Character sheets created to model Chihiro

I looked through the movie ALOT and took plenty of screenshots of anything and everything that I figured would help me create the character sheet more accuratley and for any future references I may need when I model and texture this character.

Working out the head shape

Clothes and body now and then refine the face a little bit
more near the end

Some hands needed now and a few extra lil details.

Inner and outer Rig of Chihiro model, still more to do, almost there :)

Those aren't Hoola Hoops around her although the pose suggests otherwise, They are controllers to help with the animation. Will have a video soon of the rig itself in motion :) 

UVW Unwrap Complete, Time to paint away :)

 

 

 

Kate Beckinsale

I Was aksed to do a painting of Kate Beckinsale so I started on the sketch. Worked on this sketch a little more than usual for a pre painting sketch.



I decided to make a little progression video for this painting to let people see the process of my paintings a bit more. Enjoy :)

Laputa Guardian

Decided to make the robot Guardian from Laputa,
Going to be interesting rigging this guy, those arms and legs are going to be hassle ^_^
Texturing this will add alot more details, but I may sculpt some of the grassy patches a bit on him, will wait and see what I think after I sculpt his hands n feet.

 

 

Some tidyin up left to do.

 

 

The character is pretty much symetricall all round apart from been thinner from the side and a few little details here and there so was only need to create one view

Iron Man Sketches

Some sketches of Iron man for a painting I am doing soon to add to my wall of movie paintings. Only a few left to do for the wall.

Tonal sketch

 

Fun lil Tony stark/Iron Man sketch

 

Final sketch ready for painting

Life of Pi

Was asked to do a Painting of the tiger from the life of Pi

Im not a fan of certain features the Tiger has in the movie so I had various other Tiger references close by whilst doing this piece.
Thought I would make a work in progression gif for this. Save some page space.
