The Art of Markham Carroll

My art blog. If you're looking for a portfolio, go here instead. This blog will contain images that I don't consider my best work, along with things that are not my main work focus (ie: do not try to hire me to be a programmer).

Most of the scene is cleaned up now.  I just need to animate his tie, do the background/table, and color it.

I was considering reblogging the first one this afternoon, but I finished the rough pass for the first scene in that time.

A rough animation pass for something I recently decided to finally get started.

A quick, rough animation thing I did to try to force my way through a creative block I’ve been having.

A small preview of what I’ve been working on these last few months. :)

Definitely still a work-in-progress, but it’s far enough along to at least show that I actually am doing something.

I’ve been putting off modeling Wanjuro for some time now, since I was having problems figuring out how exactly to model his head to have it look right from all angles.  I finally decided that modeling out his skull would help me figure this out.  I studied as much wolf skull reference I could Wikipedia and Google Image search (just the full mandible alone was hard to find reference of, let alone a dorsal view of it), and modeled out a wolf skull that would reasonably fit the form-factor of Wanjuro’s head.  I know the design is heavily stylized and cartoony, but having some basis in reality really helps to figure out how the design will work in 3d.
