Hello, this is my homage to Hayao Miyazaki, the great director and artist. Modeling was done in Maya, and zbrush. hair with shave and a haircut. Rendering with MentalRay and some post with Photoshop. Bodypaint was used to paint maps for the fur.

Not 100% convinced about this one but i need to let it go. Pleas critique.]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:22:04 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/753139

Hello. My third image for Alex Alvarez class. You can see the conctept Here:
http://elsevilla.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Alice-101395861

so.... base mesh on maya and sculpting in zbrush for body and face. Everything else only in maya.

Bodypaint for body textures and photoshop... of course!

WONDERFUL shave and a haircut which I used for the first time. This render took 14 hours so I assume I am not handling the render globals right but nevertheless I am 78% happy with it.

Rendered in Bodypaint, played around with the blackbody light shader plugged in portal lights

Thanks for watching]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:10:52 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/726328

Tribute to FANTASTIC painter Luis Royo. Based on his painting "The counter of time".

Original Image:

This was a project for the class of Alex Alvarez at Gnomon School of Visual Effects.

The base mesh was done in Maya, then, fine tuned in zbrush. Textured with the help of bodypaint and rendered with Mental Ray. Hair was done one by one... I have to find a better way because I don't think it looks that good. Please critique.

I started this head study as a portrait of my father... however, it went wrong so now I call it: "When I'm 64". I got lazy and didn't make the other eye, I really hope that doesn't come back to haunt me as a self fulfilling prophecy or something. ]]> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 04:22:21 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/640065

A study of the head in Zbrush. This is the first one I'm kinda proud of. I highly recommend John Brown's DVD on detailing the head. It's real clay he works on but the information is extremely relevant. Having a good alpha library is good but you need the knowledge that this dvd gives you to make it work.

p.s Please note that my image does not make justice to the info in the DVD... I don't want to make bad publicity for Mr. Brown

PLEASE CRITIC!!! I have a LONG way to go]]> Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:25:58 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/600822

All done in photoshop, The background is a photo I took in Cuzco Perú. Some tips on better integration would be greatly appreciated. Please, how can I be as good as the masters of this society???]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:16:07 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/594883

I posted this image before but I received critics advising me to lighten it up. I didn't change the light setup because I like it but increased the contrast in photoshop so it reads better. Hope you like it.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:51:10 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/593750

Hello everybody. This is a personal project. I used this piece for learning purposes so I re did it many times for weeks (or months). This is the last version. I can see many mistakes myself... BUT I HAD TO STOP. Maybe I'll pick it up again when my skills have improved.

I'm a Gnomon Certificate Student so I have access to all the DVDs and they helped a lot but the one that I highly recommend is "The making of Trin" from Alex Alvarez.

Also... for the nose texture I burned chicken thigh! that was great! ]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2008 19:20:00 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/542561

Hello. My dream is to become as good as the masters on this community. Please help me by critics and advice.

Sorry for the Marijuana content, it was a commissioned job.]]> Fri, 21 Sep 2007 21:53:41 +0000 http://lacluna.cgsociety.org/gallery/235380

My first work in painter EVER. I know it doesn't have the master level of most of the threads, however I wanted to share it with this community that inspired in so many ways with so many wonderful works. It is not much but I'm pretty proud of it. Hope you like it.
