Ichabod Crane

A  Zbrush portrait of Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Chris Turntable

A straight forward Zbrush portrait of one of my coworkers.

Star Wars Fan Films

Barn Wars 

This is a Star Wars Fan Film I did for Atom Films back in 2004. It was my first Flash animation over a minute long. There is so much I would change about it now, but it stands as a good reminder for me to not repeat the same mistakes. Still, I had a lot of fun making it.

The Yody Years

What was Yoda like as a kid? Find out in this Star Wars Fan Film. This is an animation I did for Atom Films in 2005. I was a finalist in the competition and went to the Celebration III Star Wars convention for the Award ceremony. I didn’t win, but it was a fun experience.

Kevin Honor Animatic

I had an idea of creating an animated short that introduces some fun comic book characters (mainly villains). I stopped at the animatic stage because I had too many other things going on and had to draw the line somewhere. Below you will fine preliminary character sketches, 3D modeling of sets, and the final animatic.

How to Read Music

This is a bit of an odd ball. I was trying to help some people do better at following sheet music in a cappella singing and created this simple tip sheet. No promises that it is technically accurate but for those that need very very basic understanding of all the little black dots on the page, this might help.

Captain America Painting

Playing around with Photoshop  CS5′s artistic paint brushes. I saw a really good tutorial on how to turn an image into a painting, so I converted one of my 3D renderings into this.

Comic Book Rules

Ever thought to yourself, “In my day, comic books weren’t so dark and violent. They were for kids!”

I recently bought an old book from 1949 called “Careers in Cartooning” by Lawrence Lariar. In it there is a section outlining basic moral/ethical rules for comic books. I found it quite shocking to see how far we’ve come (progress?). Below is an excerpt.

Alien Warrior

A random sketch.

From the Vault: Martians Book

Sample illustrations from an unfinished children’s book I was working on (off and on) from 2002-2005.

Process Steps for “Iron Man”

A view of the process in creating the image “Iron Man”.

From the Vault: Spider-man

Another illustration based on a Poser model from 2004.

From the Vault: Wolverine

From 2001. Still fond of this one for some reason.

From the Vault: Superman

An unfinished illustration of Superman from back in 2005, in the days I was using Poser for my 3d characters.

Process Steps for “Friendly Dragon”

A view of the process in creating the image “Friendly Dragon”.

Matte Painting: Town

Another attempt at a photo-composite matte painting. Most source images were from CGtextures.

The Flash Poster

Here’s an update to my Flash illustration. I went back to the 3D model and adjusted the pose, re-rendered at a better angle and overall tweaked it. I think its an improvement over the original.

Abe Turntable

A Zbrush model, sort of resembling Abraham Lincoln. Wasn’t meant as a portrait of him, just random sketching and experimenting.

Updates to Some Posts

I’ve spent some time creating better 3D turntables of some of my models. I have updated the following posts with new videos:

He-man Model Turntable

3D version of Peter Griffin from Family Guy

Benjamin Franklin

Twoface

Bizarro Turntable

Superman Turntable

Captain America Earth X Turntable

The Hulk

Battle Ram from He-Man

Scarran from Farscape

He-man Model Turntable

Captain Major Kernel

Here’s my idea for how to make corn more exciting: make it a super hero! He started out small but now he’s super (even his name implies promotions). And every hero needs a sidekick too.

3D version of Peter Griffin from Family Guy

Earthworm Jim Illustrations

Some illustrations I made based on renders of my 3D model. Renders done in Zbrush. Post-work in Photoshop.

Earthworm Jim 3D model

Here is a 3D model I built in Zbrush 4 of Earthworm Jim, a character from Games and cartoons.

Captain America Poster

Captain America in WWII

If Pixar was with Disney at the begining

Steamboat Wall-e

Superman Sketch

Thor Battles the Skrull

Benjamin Franklin

A Zbrush model of Benjamin Franklin based partly on the US $100 bill. I didn’t spend a lot of time on the hair (its my least favorite part to work on).

Rusty Robot

Friendly Dragon

Wolverine Cartoon

Flower Photos

Amazing Spider-Man Cover

Thundarr the Barbarian

I know Ookla should be riding the yellow beast and Thundarr should be on a white horse, but a white horse is boring to look at.
