Michelle McCammon's Art Blog

I'm a Wisconsin-based animator and illustrator! I love the process of storytelling (in all of its forms) and having fun doing it!

I went to Great America in Santa Clara a couple of weekends ago, and I got soaked on all of the rides! I then proceeded to leave wet butt marks on all of the rides I went on!

Here’s my work in progress sculpt for my Advanced Modeling with ZBrush class that I’m taking through Animschool! This is the first sculpt I’ve ever done in ZBrush - which is a pretty big feat! Now that I’ve got most of her major features blocked in, it’s time to move over to my old friend Maya for re-topologizing and some additional sculpting! After that, I think it’s back to ZBrush for clothing, polypainting/uving, and posing! (I can’t wait to draw out all of her tattoos!) The original concept is by the amazing character designer, Phillip Light! He graciously allowed me to use his concept for this assignment, so go check his stuff out here: philliplight .

Here are some new sketchcards (and a gouache painting!) that I took to a local convention this past weekend! Also - I’m in the process of adding a few different commission options to my Etsy page, so if you guys are interested in some custom sketch cards you’ll be able to get them off of there! So - stay tuned!

I was just scrolling through my Tumblr page, and noticed I never posted my final assignment from my Intro to Modeling class through Animschool! So, here it is - Miguel from The Road to El Dorado! Miguel Concept (c) Dreamworks Animation

Here’s my March entry for DrawYourselfAs’ “Star Trek character” topic! I drew myself as Kira Nerys. Last month, a member of the group came up with the topic, as a way of honoring Leonard Nimoy’s passing.
