Gallery section updated

Illustrations now can be seen without leaving this page in gallery section. Im finishing some brand new pieces, check in few days :) . They are product both 3d and 2d production, with use of hard-core apps like Wings-3D and Blender, but also some paramteric ones, like Poser and Bryce. But most of the time is spent in Zbrush and Photoshop. New kid in the town is ArtRage 3 pro, nice little intuitive real-media painting application.

Game Artisans challenge – Pawn

This is something i did for the Gameartisans.org ongoing contest – Chess figurines. First mini challenge was pawn. I choosed to create a Mutant Sea Creatures Set. Weak bt strong in number – pawn is here represent with two head, symbolising the abillity of pawn to “eat” two forward diagonal fields. This lowpoly model is little under 6000 tris (triangle polygons), and have diffuse, normal and specular map 1024px x 2 applied to it. In this turtable made in Blender, the model is subsurfed (modifier) and smoothed.

In creaeation process I used ArtRage 2.5 (concept sketch)  Blender (materials, setup, render, sculpt for normals, unwrapping), Gimp(textures), Wings3d(modelling), Argile2(texturing-detailing, seams)

Many great entries in this challenge, though.
