Vector Art

Amazing what illustrators can do, on first glance, I wouldn’t expect these “photographs” to be fake. Some of them look even better than 3d generated character art. You’ll find a nice collection of vector drawn illustrations from different artists all over the globe

In my effort to search for some Zbrush 3 tutorials, I stumbled across this huge collection of tutorials. And it has both 3d and 2d tutorials. An amazing resource and since it’s open to the public, you can submit tutorials and get rewarded at the same time.

ArtBlog.net

I just found this really cool art blog, the great thing about this site is that it dwells deeper into the thoughts and considerations of what art really is. After dousing myself in a few articles, I found myself in deep thought, contemplating what art truly is, and whether what us commercial artists perceive art as, is truly a worthwhile experience. In any case, it’s a really good read. I particularly like one post entitled Degrees of Art. And anything that gets you thinking can only be good. Do check out Artblog.net and decide for yourself.

3dcreature.com opens up.

admin — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 09:45:29 +0000

In order to help 3dcreature manifest itself, we’ve decided to open up to allow contributions. You’ll be able to submit links to artworks, news, tutorials, videos, etc. So how does it work?

3dcreature isn’t only about 3d art. If you have been around this site, you’d notice we have a bit of everything, ranging from 2d art, life drawings, sculptures, paintings, illustrations, toys. Anyone with a decent sense of aesthetics and an openness to appreciate the other disciplines of art would do best at submitting artwork links to 3dcreature.

Once you have registered, submitting a link to an artwork is easy. Just generate a thumbnail (cropped to 160 x 80 pixels) and attached it in a post at 3dcreature. Thumbnails should emphasize and capture the essence of the artwork.
On the other hand, if you feel like you just want to keep the community updated with the latest news, rumours or job updates, then drop us a message.

Please note that anything submitted to 3dcreature will be moderated prior to being posted online. This needs to be done to ensure we don’t get anything inappropriate.

So here’s how to start contributing links.

Step 1: Register at 3dcreature.
Step 2: An account will be set up for you.
Step 3: Start posting and have fun!

It’s been some time since the last update and I am glad to see that 3dcreature is still receiving hits daily. I just made a huge move to the US and I’m currently working for Blizzard Entertainment. I hope to find time in the very near future to realize the full potential of 3dcreature.com. Until then rest assure that this site will be here as an online resource.

Artist Profile | Zack Petroc

admin — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 02:15:46 +0000

CGSociety has done an interview with Master modeler Zack Petroc. Known for his in-depth knowledge of the human form, Zack is considered one of the most highly regarded sculptors in the industry. Here is a short excerpt from the article:

I don’t remember a time when I did not love to create. In the beginning, it was drawing. The pictures I made depicted the standard array of scenery your brain finds awe inspiring at a young age. No pretensions about the subject matter here: Star Wars, superheroes, miscellaneous alien landscapes, and epic battles. The only point to note about my art at that age might be..

DigitalContentProducer.com has a step by step overview of a CG sequence in Battlestar Galatica. I’m a huge fan of the series, having watched all 3 season thus far, it’s really interesting to the amount of effort put into a single cg sequence. They also have a video of the various passes that make the final sequence here.

Peter Konig and Massive Black have just wrapped up a Creature Sculpting DVD.

Working from orthographic views Peter walks the viewer through the entire sculptural process from building the armature all the way to adding the final touches of detail. Also included is a tour of the artist’s studio and two mini-lessons focusing on different approaches to surface detail.
