This image was created for a step-by-step tutorial to feature in 3D Artist magazine. Base meshes created in Maya, sculpted in zbrush, rendered in mental ray. Textures and a little post-work in Photoshop... Comments welcome.]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2009 04:35:37 +0000 http://leemale.cgsociety.org/gallery/691989

I thought I'd create a cute sci-fi girl, just for a bit of fun, partly inspired by a recent trip to Japan. I intend to place her in a scene...possibly with the obligatory 20 foot robot guardian or something. Might re-design her costume a little too -add some dirt etc.]]> Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:10:08 +0000 http://leemale.cgsociety.org/gallery/723800

Not strictly a brand-new piece of work, but a re-hashed version of my previous Björk image, this time in android guise (from Chris Cunningham's video for All Is Full of Love). -just for fun

This work is a revised version of an older image that I wasn't entirely happy with for a number of reasons. Modeled in Maya and Zbrush, textures and post-work (levels/colour-correction and background) in Photoshop.]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 06:44:27 +0000 http://leemale.cgsociety.org/gallery/677456

Daft Punk are french musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. Here they are moonwalking round a turntable, floating through space. The image developed from an idea I had to use some older models that I had never put to good use and to practice some hard-edged modeling techniques. I intend to complete a second version (actually the original idea) some time soon, as a companion piece . Hard edged stuff created in Maya, sculpted and warped in zbrush. Textures and post work in Photoshop. Comments ant crits most welcome ]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:07:01 +0000 http://leemale.cgsociety.org/gallery/739344

Everyone's favorite French electro-funk space robots are back -This time racing dodgems around on their interstella turntable. The second of my Daft Punk series, this was actually the original idea which I had been meaning to finish for a while. I had most of the component parts sat on my machine for some time, waiting to be thrown together. I used the opportunity to refine a few of the shaders and generally tidy things up after the previous effort. Base meshes in Maya, sculpted and posed in zbrush, rendered in Mental Ray. Textures, compositing and post work in Photoshop. Comments and crits welcome.

Here is my tribute to the actor Christopher Walken; loosely based on the scene from True Romance (in which he plays Vincenzo Coccotti 'The Sicilian', opposite Dennis Hopper). He's a little older here than he was back then (partly as a result of the reference used, but also because I quite liked the craggier looking face.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:04:19 +0000 http://leemale.cgsociety.org/gallery/628607

...A quick render test for a character I intend to feature in a more ambitious scene shortly (just a temporary background right for now)]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 09:19:46 +0000 http://leemale.cgsociety.org/gallery/339016

This image evolved from an idea for a personal logo created some time ago. Originally just a simple black and white design (for letterheads etc), I pimped-it-up in Photoshop partly for fun, but also as a sort of title page for my print-based folio. ]]> Sat, 10 Feb 2007 20:00:29 +0000 http://leemale.cgsociety.org/gallery/339027

This Samurai-salamader character was intended as a character design/study for an animation project that (sadly) never happened.]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 13:20:11 +0000
