Just some more sculpting from scratch without ref. ZBrush is a great tool to design characters from scratch, as you can create a character, make some screengrabs and then model it with the sculpted ref set in the background (images/jpgs),so you can better/refine the topology, export it into ZBrush again and make the model again.]]> Sun, 23 Sep 2007 11:36:38 +0000 http://mvdb.cgsociety.org/gallery/542679

I called this image : 'Mis Air'. She has this title because she's an arrogant old widow, who inherited the life savings from her deceased husband. Created this image in a tutorial I made for the 'Advanced Photoshop' magazine. Issue 33 is where this tutorial is gonna be in, if anyone's interested.]]> Thu, 05 Jul 2007 14:11:53 +0000 http://mvdb.cgsociety.org/gallery/514985

Made this char for a stylized animal challenge.

I wanted to have a char with movement, so I dropped in some ropes and made him swing. Modeled in Lightwave 9, textured in ZBrush and rendered in Maya.]]> Thu, 05 Jul 2007 13:56:44 +0000 http://mvdb.cgsociety.org/gallery/505169

Hi all,

here's my latest character, a 'WWII' veteran.

He's honered with a purple heart, but he's lost his sight. Something you see often with veteran's. There's always a flipside to the coin..

Hi, the great thing about designing ceatures, is that it's endless. Everything is possible and nothing's wierd, it's a creature, right? This was a C.O.W. (create a creature )-subject at the CA called: "Under Your Bed". Description: This fellah lies on his tummy (head down) and tries to get birds or other egglaying species (victims) nesting on his back. When the Mother(bird) goes out to hunt for food, this little critter silently walks away with the meal on his back. I's time consuming to lie there and wait for the food, but it's worth the stretch because he always has fresh layed eggs in the morning..

It was a bit of a rush, because I only had about three hours or so (had some spare time,in between jobs), but still I wanted you to see..

Concept art.

This is for people who proved themselfs worthy enough, to get a VIP status/level. To bad some of those people know how good they think they really are. I think those people are clowns.]]> Thu, 16 Nov 2006 14:40:07 +0000 http://mvdb.cgsociety.org/gallery/424421

Here's an image I did today. It's about not knowing how much you will miss somebody, until it he or she is really gone. Then you wish you could go back..]]> Tue, 17 Oct 2006 21:01:37 +0000 http://mvdb.cgsociety.org/gallery/340804

Hey,
made this image for a Greeting Card company. It'll be in store at the end of this year (2006) here in the Netherlands and some other countries of Europe. I used Lightwave for modeling and photoshop for texture and final touches..

Hello,
made this one for my portfolio. called this one "Hunted". Been trying to create a prehistoric specie, who only had vision for movement. I know there were no submarines in those days, but had to have something to scale the fish.
