The Tooth Ape, also known as the "Tooth Fairy Gorilla" is a distant relative of the contemporary Tooth Fairy. While endowed with remarkable abilities and a well meaning spirit, she has a reputation for over zealous fits of passion. Therefore children should be cautioned not to speak too openly of loose teeth in public places.
This lovely character was dreamed up by my son at the dinner table last week. I let the the kids art direct this one.
I bought Zbrush a while back and have been slowly trying to get the hang of it. Here's a screen shot of my first sculpt. More to come. It's an amazing program, but I still haven't got to the point where I could say I'm "comfortable" with it. I love getting my hands dirty and pushing around clay, but pixles just aint as satisfying. I think I'll get there, its just gonna take time...
Some mo grayscale head studies - this time with process shots to boot!
This is some SHANK2 fan art, kind of. I never played the game, but saw the artwork and loved the character design, and animation style. This character isn't actually in the game, it's sort of my own interpretation. OK, I don't know what caused me to draw this.
Grayscale head studies. Just tryin to get better at seeing values, breaking them down and keep a likeness too.
Don't have anything new to post at the moment, so here's some old head paintings from long ago. If you happen to have gone to ACCD in the 90's, you may recognize these models. All three were oil on canvas board done from life. I think I've gotten much better at seeing and using color since then, but I still kinda like these ones.
