1952 Ford F-1

'52 Ford F-1

Newest rendering just finished up today! This is a very cool truck which is still in pieces somewhere in Utah right now.  It is a commemorative build for the owners' Father who passed away.  I was given a few details on what the truck should look like, and I took some liberties of my own on a few things as well.  If I could find one of these trucks, this is how I would build it.

It never hurts to have a decent resume, I chose to go a more unconventional route with mine.  By unconventional, I mean AWESOME!

Rockabilly - Maya 3D Model

He has a 5 o'clock Shadow, but it's hard to see in this pic.

I spent probably around 60ish hours on this guy.  Too long for my liking.  This model has a realistic skin texture I created.  I modeled him after a little sculpted shifter knob I bought at the SEMA 2010 Fine art show.    I'll find a link to the guy's site who sells these shift knobs.  Anyways, here's the result of about 3 weeks work, and a few all nighters.  

3d Jet Pack- Megamind

Many hours and  sleepless nights went into this model!  The assignment was to model a movie prop that doesn't actually exist in the movie.  So I chose the Movie Megamind, and did my best to make it look as if it would exist in the movie.  Comments are welcome!

Ed Roth Meets Richard Scarry - Worm Fink

RIP Ed Roth 1932-2001, Richard Scarry 1919-1994

Apple Assignment. I combined my love of the Richard Scarry Series with my love of Ed Roth's legendary hot rod Art. And this is the disturbing result. I like it.
