Mini soldiers

I have modelled the above background props today for the group project.

[EXPERIMENTAL] Monday Fun with Mari

Disclaimer: I did not model this mesh!

I used a 3D digial painting for the first time today, and it turned out to be incredibly fun. It feels much like working in a 3D Photoshop, painting stuff in Mari. I am getting really into this sort of paint-on method of texturing and I am definitely going to try Mudbox as well.

And lastly... for a bit of laugh :D

Three Conceptual Drawings

Mecha Cobra	Armoured Bear	Colossal of Death

Just thought I should share these conceptual drawings that I have done a year ago. I did the first one in a lecture, in what was supposed to be my notebook for taking notes. The second drawing is based on the "Panserbjørne" armoured bear creatures from the His Dark Material Trilogy books. The third drawing is a concept for a video game villain which I was going to submit to the Rift Challenge 2011 competition.

The Fairy Tale Project: Old Mill House

I modelled this mill house for "The Fairy Tale Project" — a collaborative project between students of NCCA. The project has been put on hold since October 2011.

Finer Vision Viral Video

This was the first live project I was offered. It is a minute long viral video for Finer Vision, a social media agency company based in London.


I have produced this entire video on my own including the opening logo sequence, with art directions and some graphical assets provided by Sean Cowden, head of Finer Vision.

NCCA Group Project The Boy: The Iron Boy

The Robot (a.k.a Iron Boy / Steam-punk Iron Man)

About the Project

The Boy (Working Title) is a collaborative project that I have participated in during my second year in Bournemouth University NCCA. It is a 60 seconds animated short about a young boy's discovery of a mysterious box, the animation concludes with him being transformed into a cyborg as a result of having contacted physically with the uncanny artifact. 


My part of the project was to design, model and rig the mysterious box, the boy in his android form and his mechanical transformation.

About the Robot
You can very easily tell I have drawn a lot of inspiration from the Marvel Comic character Iron Man. In fact, I was instructed by the director of the project Chris to create a "Steam-punk, child version of Iron Man". It's not really a ground-breaking concept and the result also looks slightly plagiaristic, however I just really liked the idea and I was eager to see how it would all come to together eventually.

Final Concept (differs slightly from model)
