Kayden's Sub

Happy New Year everyone, It's been a while since I've posted any artwork, but now I'm here to show you the latest project. It started as a Christmas present for my grandson, so like everything else, I drew skecthes. From there I designed the submarine in Hexagon (the 3D modeling software of my choice), and built the model from all sides. Once I was satisfied with the look, I emailed the file to a local hobby store, where they do 3D printing. The process took thirty-seven hours to build (whew). Afterwards I used Tamiya Fine Surface Primer (white) for the based coat, then used another coat of Surface Primer (grey). Now I started masking off the model and airbrushing each side separately. After drying, I touch up certain areas for detailing. Here is the completed sub, ready for trial runs in the bathtub! I'm happy with the results, it brings back days when I spent hours buildning/painting model kits. Now I hope to carry that tradition with my grandson!

Being Chased

Here's a follow-up to my latest 3D sculpture. I've decided it would be easier to print this, rather than the other 3D artwork due to its complexity. Stay tuned for further posts.

Lookout Point

Hi everyone, it's been a couple of years since I posted some new 3D artwork, but here it is! The idea came to me from a drawing I did some years ago, of a woman being chased by some creatures over a cliff. Reworking the sketch gave me clues as to how I was designing the 3D scene. With the help of Zbrush (the digital sculpting software), I was able to create each character and render the scene in Cinema 4D. I'm still working on the textures, but I'll probably just print it and hand paint them. Please feel free to comment.

Fight to the Finish

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I have posted anything. Between relocating to a new state and working at a different job, I've managed to create some new artwork. Here are my latest designs and will be 3D printed

very soon. So enjoy and please post comments.

Shoot First, Ask Questions Later

Hi everyone, here is the same character with a different look. Please let me know which girl I should 3D print.

Fire at Will

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted anything so here's some new 3D artwork. It's based on a character I've been working on and off during my busy schedule. The base has already been printed and next will be the girl herself. Please feel free to post comments.

Meet The Twins

Hi everyone, meet Sam and Dave! These guys are the result of 3D printing thru our Engineering department at my job. Dave (the orange one) was a low-res printing while Sam (the yellow one) has more definition. Many thanks to my associate Michael for producing the twins. Expect more to come!
