cheeseburger on my t-shirt

My sister introduced me to a new medium this past week. I thought you needed fancy and expensive screen printing technology to make your own shirt designs.

Final Stumpback compositions

Finished Space Elvis compositions

so close

This week will mark the end of my zbrush class. The next images will be the finals. For now this is my latest render

Coming together

Our team has been putting in some really solid work on the game these past few weeks. We are about to cross the threshold where our game goes from looking like a wierd mix of unfinished 3D assets to GAME! Next semester will be more hard work and a lot of icing.

Eye candy

I'm working on a series of collectibles for kids within Salvage Youth. My other responsibilities right now include thinking up rockets and scaffolds.

Z-brush updates

Here is the current progress of both of my sculpting projects. Elvis needs a bit more poly painting and a solid pose, while the stump back needs just about everything.

Alien shoplifter

This is the finished painting and original line drawing.

Getting Dirty

Quick snapshot of my work from the game this week.

more props

My blogging frequency has really been in decline since spending a majority of my time posting to our game team site. Here are two more environment props I have recently concepted.

Painting in progress

Stumpback

I am still working towards the completion of Space Elvis. In the meantime I am also working on the early stages of the next sculpt which will be a quadruped. This is Stumpback.

Salvage Youth

We finally replaced the placeholder title of our upcoming game project. Wasted Youth was giving players a weird sort of high school dropout vibe. Anyways, Here is a quick dump of a few different concepts I have been doing for the project.

just plain cool

Applying a chrome Matcap in Zbrush. Yeah you know its the first thing you do too. He just jumped from a couple thousand polys to a couple million.

Coming along

This is a quick snapshot of where Space Elvis is as of now. We are just now finishing up the low poly models to bring into z-brush and begin sculpting next week. I am very excited about this project so far.

The Wasted Youth Suburbs

This is a piece I have been working on this week trying to tie down some color script information as well as determining how many levels of detail the background will contain. Whats is 3d? versus what we will make a static background painting in the game.

Space Elvis

This is the character model sheet for Z-brush class. I am really looking forward to doing a lot of really frustrating work in that class. I am sure it will be worth it for my portfolio.

recyclops

All I want for Christmas is is a screen printing kit.

Wasted Youth look and feel painting

A paint over of a cg-scene for Wasted Youth and a drawing of the Character Dustin sprinting down the sidewalk. Don't step on a crack.

the finished lawnmower

My producer asked me to make the super duper rusted scrap yard version of the mower to go into the background. I like the way it turned out.

The neglected lawnmower

This is a process piece I am working on for our game style guide. It is basically a step by step that helps the artists make sure that our work has a consistent look and style.

This is a painting that hopefully will reflect what our in game geometry will look like assuming we can firgure out how to translate this with shaders and texture maps.

mountain pass speed paint

process of decay

A series of images that follow the process I often go through taking a concept from a line drawing to a full value color illustration. In our story the children live in a world that has been trashed and left to rot for several years.

Gotham in Seattle

I Saw this amazing building on the Seattle architectural tour that was straight off of the pages of a Batman comic. I used it as a photo plate to make this mood peice. Watch it in super fast forward on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1afGRzH3KZw

Eddy Concept

I finally have a youtube channel so I can post videos of the painting process. You can look for videos posted by MrBeauBateman, yeah thats not a joke...MrBeauBateman. I think it will sound cooler with time and more hits. Follow this link for an HD video of the painting posted above.
