The Grizzlies!

Clickie for better image

Here's one of my current projects (the only active one, that is). It's a remake of at least the head of a grizzly bear. As most of you know, I made a dancing grizzly back in my senior year of high school, and for a novice, it was fine. However, I've always wanted to do better!

So here is what I have so far on this endeavor. Much better than the original, though there's plenty of work still to do to it. I'm still working on getting the edges fuzzier, so the hair effect is really driven home.

For my classmates, this bust is at around 2700 polys, though the one I sent to ZBrush was less than 700.

Enjoy!

Rosebud

Here it is! I've been working on this animation for a couple of weeks to enter into a competition Westwood is holding. A few will know the audio clip as the Rosebud Frozen Peas commercial on The Critic. I'm hoping a bit of humor will make my entry more memorable than other. Since the animation had to be 30 seconds, I added some silence to the audio to lengthen it and give me a chance to animate reactions, etc.

The character is the same I've used in other animations, but since I know how some Westwood students are, I included credit for the rig so no one starts whining about stolen work. Yes, THAT is how it is at Westwood. That and stolen flash drives.

There's still plenty of work I can do on this. Some movements could use some extra polish, and other actions need to be exaggerated a bit. I still think it's a worthy candidate for the competition!

Enjoy and critique!
