I took Pierre Benjamin's Zbrush workshop 18 months ago and loved it. If you are looking to learn the techniques he uses in his great work, I highly recommend taking his course. Here are a couple of pieces I created during the course, based on an illustration by the amazing Wael Safwat. The second portrait is based on a 2D drawing by the fabulous Sebastian Krueger. You can check out their work at the following links. Their work will blow you away!

Latest Project with Francesca Natale, Keyshot and Zbrush
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4IyUlfleDZW8WaKiPyk7tx8ngO0yrbLdYduIVzcmLOyxQw18gp9OSHSqv77cVGQWSCd86Umo9f9-47cY1Z1FjS8M9AKOvrkidv_T2HKk90gLj75iqBMDC4lOjAxSFp5zL_baHKB2fFbE/s640/Comped_1Final.jpg)
I've known Francesca Natale for 8 years now and I've always wanted to work with her on some of her designs. This is our first collaborative effort together. I love her character design work and chose this as my first pass at one of her characters. This characters shapes were so much fun to work with. I modeled him in Zbrush and Maya, and lit and rendered him in multiple passes with Keyshot 5 and final composite was done in Photoshop. I used this as an exercise to get familiar with Keyshot. Original was rendered at 32 bit colour depth which produced very rich colours. Unfortunately, due to file size I had to compress it to 16bit for posting online and it did loose the richness of 64bit original size.

Nickelodeon
It's been a few months since my last posting, but I haven't been idle. I've been busy creating artwork for a few of our ongoing projects. Our latest effort has been for this years Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Contest. This is the title character I developed with Mike and John Erskine-Kellie, the writers, for our short film entry "Gogozilla vs. The Airplane". You may recall an earlier version I posted here quite sometime ago. This particular contest is for a much younger demographic of 2-5 year olds. So I modified the original design to make it more suitable for a younger audience.

Voices In My Head
I've always enjoyed producing characters, whether as a puppetteer, animator or sculptor. One day 3 years ago,I had some free time to record some pig voices. My recording space was highly reflective, but I was able to record my spluttering pigs as best I could. Here's a belated birthday greeting to my friend Audrey. I'll post more soon.
