3D artwork I created in 2007, in between various contracting jobs and chasing a baby around the house. More experiments in medium and high rez poly models. Also, exercises in animation, scene setup, lighting and rendering. Again lots of help from my brother Dave.

 
   
 

Evil robotic muppet armed with a Kalashnikov.
A companion to my teletubbie with a battle axe.

I modeled this in a standard t-pose, then used a skeleton/rig to move his arms, hands and shoulders into a more dynamic pose, so he could hold the rifle.

My karate dude.
He's not rigged for action yet, so he just stands there looking bad ass.

Closing out my gun series with this squirt gun modified with AK-47 stock, bayonet and loaded with hydrochloric acid.

Guns are bad.

Teletubbies Are Evil.
Still, my daughter can't get enough of these little bastards. She'll sing the cute little intro song and wave the DVD box at me...and we watch teletubbies for the zillionth time. What is a Daddy to do?
I passive aggressively put a bloody battle axe in one of their stumpy little mitts and use a texture map of a really bad ache patient for the face.

Problem solved.

Pirate muskets just look bitchin, and are fun to model. Disclaimer: Guns are bad and I'm don't an advocate of high seas piracy.

I took my inspiration from the funky old brick structures hidden between the huge buildings in the San Francisco financial district.

Luckily for me I didn't have to worry about modeling hair.

3d art iron man  
The old Jack Kirby comic art was my inspiration for this Retro Iron Man. I was going for old-school, atomic toaster oven, not the Robert Downey Jr, Civil War Iron Man.

3d art vintage Computer  
I was searching the web for stock photos of cool old computers, and decided to just build my own! I used Maya's mental ray rendering to get the nice shiny effects.

Why did I pick a muppet? I don't know, it came to me after the zillionth time I watched sesame street with my daughter.

3d art Blade Runner Pistol  

Like most nerds, I think the Blade Runner Pistol is wicked cool. Disclaimer: Guns are bad and I don't advocate android/replicant extermination.
