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!

Card Warrior w/ Royal Family

Hi everyone, here is my latest 3D sculpture along with the knight and queen. This artwork completes part of a series I've been working on. Also, if anyone knows of a company that prints 3D models, please let me know ASAP. In the meantime, please posts comments on my blog.

Knight Chess Piece

Hi everyone, every queen must have her king so here's my latest 3D sculpture. Sir Knight was designed using Zbrush and Hexagon, then rendered in Cinema 4D. Soon I'm make a 3D print for display.

Chess Queen

Happy New Year to everyone!! Here's my latest 3D Sculpture I've worked on during the holiday break. It was an idea I put together last year, but had to delay it due to other projects. Of course a queen needs a king, which will be designed later on. I will make a 3D print of the Chess Queen. Enjoy the pics and post comments.

Happy Halloween

Hi folks, it's been months since I last work on any 3D artwork. Here's my latest entry for All Hallow's Eve. I'm not planning on texturing the model, although I might do a 3D print and later paint it with enamel. Please post comments.

The Traveler

Hi everyone, after three months of on/off designing, here's my latest 3D artwork. I've been working on this project since January, and during those "snow days". I won't be texturing the model since I'm planning on making an extra 3D print. This is my first attempt at creating the human figure in Zbrush (the digital sculpture software, many professionals are using in the CGI field). I plan on working on other dioramas in the next few months. Please post comments.

Another Sculpture

Hi everyone, I had another digital sculpture printed recently. Here you'll see side by side comparison of the digital and actual model. My next project is in the works, so stay tuned and please posts comments.
