This is my first ZBrush attempt of modeling an old man. The purpose is to explore the ZBrush tools and to study the features of an old man at the same time. Base mesh done in Maya, sculpted in ZBrush and contrast adjustment in Photoshop. Comments are most welcome, thank you.]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:46:36 +0000 http://nictey.cgsociety.org/gallery/814728

A great earthquake was triggered recently somewhere near the pacific ocean.
It was followed up by a series of shocks and some of the worst tsunami in human history.
The main cause of this massive disaster were unknown as there were several strange readings from the source.
Top marine scientists and biologists were sent to the source to further their investigation.
One of them made a shocking discovery...

This art work was initially done for a contest.
Fully painted with Photoshop and some references were used for studies.
Comment and Critiques are welcome! Thank you!

Egyptnese is yet another attempt at blending two themes.
I was always fascinated by the Egyptian and Chinese art and cultures.
I wanted to have both themes implemented in a character for quite sometime now. Well, finally I did it!
Fully painted with Photoshop and some references for the culture elements.
Comments and critiques are welcome, thank you!

This is a painting I did for game artisan's WOW mini comp.
I've never played this game before but I did some research for it. At the same time I try to create something new from the conventional WOW character.
This is actually my first attempt at drawing this kind of painting.
Nevertheless, it has been fun! Hope you guys like it!

"Think Again..." is a new attempt at blending eastern and western themes. It portrays a dragon slayer, resting with pride and complacency after a fight. However, things are not what they seem… This piece is fully painted in Photoshop with the help of some references and good suggestions.

This piece is entitled "Shinsengumi" which means "special police" force of the late shogunate period in Japanese.
My initial idea was to combine the Western Cowboy Sheriffs elements with the Eastern Japanese Kimono culture, giving it a crossover between cultures and elements of the west and the east and also to show contrast in genders.
There's a story but I'll leave some space for imagination This is fully painted in photoshop with the help of some references. Comments and Critiques are welcome, thank you.]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:07:45 +0000 http://nictey.cgsociety.org/gallery/661701

This illustration is entitled "Mononofu" which means warrior in ancient term in Japanese. I'm trying to recreate a female Samurai warrior as Samurais are often male. This piece is totally painted in photoshop. Here I did extra touches with the splashes onto the plain background to give a stronger sense of feel to the character. Comments and critiques are most welcome. Thank you.]]> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:18:43 +0000
