Hey everyone!
For the superhero theme, I thought it would be fun to revisit an old project of mine from a couple years back. I always wanted to do a sculpt of a scene from the Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk series where Wolverine gets ripped in half by the Hulk. Leinil Francis Yu was the pencil artist for the comic and he created this amazing 2 page scene that always stood out in my mind as just being epic. You can see the image HERE.
I always loved how the Hulk was portrayed because he had been living in a Tibetan village and had all these giant, beads around his neck with cloth and plates around his waste. It was just a rea ... READ MORE

There are so many cool things to do with the fantasy theme, it's hard to decide on just one. A few weeks ago, I started going through some of my reference images to see what I might want to sculpt and I came across this really cool concept by Jeff Murchie of a bugbear. I did a little research on what exactly a bugbear was and found that they can sometimes be mercenaries and that every once in a while they take people as slaves. So I thought it would be cool to have him holding a woman in chains. I was very influenced by Jeff Murchie's design but also added some of my own elements. I hope you guys like it!

You may have noticed a mysterious new image on our front page. A year ago, when we first started putting ideas together for the site, we wanted to have some playful robot characters doing various tasks similar to what we have now on our "Projects" page. This was one of my robot designs that never got used, so I just archived it and forgot about it until just a couple months ago. I thought it would be fun to take it into zbrush and add some details to it and make it look HUGE. I got rid of the antenna and put in a bunch of seams and small details.

When I was around 9 or 10, my dad and I used to watch this show called, "Tales From The Darkside" There was an episode that completely terrified me called "Inside the Closet". It was about an old professor who rented a room out of his house to college kids. Little did these students know, that they would become food for his 3 year old, re-animated daughter. At the end of the episode, the poor occupant of the room unlocks a small closet to find a freakish goblin looking creature that then kills her and I assume, devours her. The episode was directed by Tom Savini, a legendary FX artist also responsible for designing the little goblin, wh ... READ MORE
When I was a kid, I remember waking up every Saturday morning while my parents were still asleep, getting a giant bowl of Cookie Crisp and watching cartoons until lunch. I loved shows like Thundarr the Barbarian, Dungeons and Dragons, He-Man, The Mighty Orbots and my favorite, Thundercats. I really liked all the characters but my favorite was always Panthro. He seemed like the toughest Thundercat out of all of them and had, what I thought to be, the coolest weapon. The NUMCHUCKS! ..or nunchaku if you want to be all technical. Here’s some images of Panthro from the original show. READ MORE
Hey everyone! I've always been a big fan of GIJoe and I had a huge collection of toys as a kid, so when we decided on the theme, I was really excited. One of my favorite comic book artists is J Scott Campbell known for his Danger Girl and Wildsiders comics. He's drawn the Baroness for GiJoe comics before and I've always wanted to model a character in his style so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity. I started with a simple base mesh that I tried to match to one of his drawings from Danger Girl, just to get the proportions correct. Her face and legs went through a lot of revisions before I finally got a look that I was ha ... READ MORE
