Brick By Brick

This is something I did for the AWESOME Stephen McCraine. The maker of http://doodlealley.com/, and his wonderful words of wisdom. His book is about to be made/well done 4 times over on Kickstart: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stephenmccranie/brick-by-brick.
I did this as a thank you to Stephen and his work which has been very inspirational and comforting for me. His work has helped stay driven and focused on improving myself as an artist and getting to where I want to be in life. I added somethings from the chapters and titles from the book to the work.

Real Monsters: Anxiety, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Depression

Artwork by Toby Allen

This is a small project I did a while ago. I needed to improve my creature and stylized sculpting and ran into these “Real Monsters” by Toby Allen (http://zestydoesthings.tumblr.com). And asked if I could model them, and he agreed to allow me to model them and I am glad that they ahve turned out so well.

So I modeled out some of the real monsters.

 All of these guys were done in Zbrush with Dynamesh and render in Zbrush for the compositied images as well.

 I had a fun time modeling him and sculpting his face. I had planned on using chameleon skin texture but it seemed to bland and thought the fish/snake scales add a more dynamic look.

I have been improving my compositing and render skills and enjoyed comping these guys on my computer and on to me. I did all of the models in Zbrush and I plan to have them printed as soon as I can find a good service.
