NEWEST STUFF (sort of)

Here is a small collection of some my more recent work. For those of you who are coming back to my site for another look, this is where I will display the latest work from all the separate categories.

Recently I've worked with Macromedia's FLASH on a number of educational 'web vignettes'(cartoons) for Flying Rhinoceros called BoomToons™. The most recent of which is a BoomToon™ created for the official United States Olympic Team site for kids. It is a cartoon entitled "Teamwork", a story featuring a slug, a raccoon and a bear, illustrating how with a little teamwork, anything can be accomplished.

Action Woman. I haven't named this character yet. This image is a composited Poser 4 character in a 3D Studio MAX background.

Poser 4 Zombie Attack! The texture map for this character is based on a photorealistic map I started for another character. Tinted green and airbrushed in Photoshop with shade of blue and gray that same map transforms into a classic George Romero style zombie. The gunshot wound is actually made from a scan ofa photo of a gunshot make-up I originally created for "The Courier of Death". You can see that image on my Make-up Effects page.

Drone # One : Dewey

Okay, this one isn't so new either, but it's a model that still gets a lot of response. It's Drone # 1 from Douglas Trumbull's "Silent Running". I will post more as work progresses. This model is now the mascot for the Robot Builders site "Silent Running" page.

Gorobot character, new and improved. Here's another shot in the Area 51 lab set I built for the Roswell craft and other UFO models.

Model Here is a six inch scale model I designed and built for a college student film. (about 1980)It was scratch built from styrene plastic. I still have this model and it's pretty much in one piece.

A frame from the promotional video I worked on for COMPUTOONS®. Not really a new image, but I haven't posted it before.

Not exactly new. In fact it's kind of old. But I recently dug up this test render from the unreleased game 3D Ultra Pinball: NFL! About one third of the way into the schedule, Sierra decided to drop the game. D'oh!
