My tribute to one of my favourite comic heroe. I was looking for the illustration aspect of this character.
Everything was modeled entirely with the technique of poly subdivisions starting from a poly box.
A full body with all muscles was done as base. I will post some screenshots of the model anatomy.
Render was done with mental ray, very simple light and render setup. I've stored a FG map in a half resolution of my final render. Then render was more easy to calulate and could be done on my laptop without problems.
All the background was a mix of nebulosa photos and stars in diferent blending modes. A little of postproduction for control levels, color correction and color reflections with some passes.

Hope you like him and enjoy the work.

Love cartoon concepts of jungle animals and I thought about do one them. Gorilla is one of my favourites. An intelligent strong animal that I wanted to use in a fun way.]]> Mon, 23 Feb 2009 09:27:54 +0000 http://arizaga.cgsociety.org/gallery/717701

She's a little cute girl that loves kung fu. This is a cartoon character that I had in mind time a go. I was looking for a little cartoon girl with a mix of western and eastern culture. Also influenced by the japanese "super cute" fashion.

I hope you enjoy her.]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:10:38 +0000 http://arizaga.cgsociety.org/gallery/692484

This is my version of the famous character from the videogame: "Monkey Island. LeChuck's Revenge". I love the work the artists did for videogame covers and it has been a big influence in the image development. I hope you like it.

Everything was modeled in 3dsmax, "hair and fur" for coat and voodoo doll details, mental ray for render and photoshop of course.

Comments are wellcome!]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:01:17 +0000 http://arizaga.cgsociety.org/gallery/656573

Captain "bonecrusher" is a retro space pirate, a character for modeling/texturing demoreel, inspired the incredible work of the great master Katsuhiro Otomo and influence of Mario Alberti work in Redhand. Films like Madmax and the Starcraft videogame were in my mind.

This is a character that I had long time im my mind. She's based on SF films and comics. An astronaut looking for adventures.
There's a wip with the evolution of this character in the cgtalkforums.

All done with 3dsmax, photoshop, VRay.
