I have taken the site down for a long overdue revamp. There is a body of work I either haven't been allowed to show or just haven't photographed yet that will soon be up in the gallery section.

Grindylow released

The Grindylow sculpt I did for Gentle Giant has released as an AFX exclusive. The Merperson was started from scan data but the Grindylow is a digital sculpt. There was actually no data on that character.

Heres the banner for my current online class.

and my Gnomon Live presentation is moving along. Trying to pull it all together. I hope it will be a good demo for all.

Currently working on several projects at Gentle Giant, not sure if I can admit to any of them in print online yet.

Between terms at Gnomon. In April I will be back with 3 classes Intro to ZBrush, Digital Sculpting and Human Anatomy, and Advanced ZBrush. I will also have another online section of Advanced ZBrush running.
