I recently organized a bunch of super cool master classes that will be running the week of December 12th-19th. I can’t wait to watch them all!! Check them out the Gnomon School site.

Guardian

 Image made with Maya, Zbrush, Mental Ray.I started this as a head sculpt/sketch from a sphere in Zbrush, but then added the torso… then the lower limbs… then decided it needed a background… then some bugs.. then some smoke.Since I didn’t start with a design, I just poked at it from time to time over the past couple months. So I guess the image evolved over time, but I’m happy with where it ended up. The final image is 4500×8000 to be printed at 30″x54″. |

 Same guy as below… it was tough settling on an angle to work on him from. I’m still not even sure if this was the right choice, but time to walk away from it. I shot a bunch of photos of smoke specifically for this image that I comped in Photoshop… and now I am a big fan of smoke photos. They’re purty. |

'Smile'
Posted by alexalvarez | Filed under News
 Here’s a new unfinished(?) image ‘Smile’… I got to this point after a couple evenings and haven’t had time to get back to it. Its tough to have fun making an image, but then have a week go by with not one second to work on it anymore! So for now, I thought I would post it here. It is based on another one of the sketches below. Maya/Zbrush/Photoshop. |
