For my first exercise, I modeled a cube! =) but here's a hammer I modeled.

a zbrush 'sketch'

i'm trying to get into a habit of getting at least 1 to 2 zbrush character 'stretches' up everyweek.
I might try that to push myself into this new hobby of mine.

dude?

2009-12-28T22:47:00.000-08:00

just practicing more zbrush.
zbrush is awesome!

2009-12-09T17:13:00.000-08:00

Hello. its been awhile. I'm still keeping busy with the dragon rg. Its coming to an end and its looking promising (i hope)

this is just a concept i've done, that i thought i'd share

cant wait to start on this project =) should be challenging.
cheers =)

zbrush sketch

2009-07-12T20:12:00.000-07:00

Zbrush.
just playing around =)

hope to texture it, soon...

Things to come!

2009-07-02T16:47:00.000-07:00

To be honest with everyone, esp me!!!! I personally cant WAIT to start working on the tank.

anyway, enjoy! =)

notes =) (Problem solving) =)

2009-07-02T16:42:00.000-07:00

these aren't meant to be seen by anyone =)
the goal is to finish all these things.
Best thing about rigging is trying to figure out solutions to problems that You have no idea about...make you really think.

2009-07-02T16:33:00.000-07:00

progress =)

chapter 4: Dan the Dragon

2009-07-02T16:01:00.000-07:00

I've been keeping busy with work very much so, lately. But I've managed to start this guy up and thought I'd update my blog. =)

enjoy!

Tank - Andy 307 (working title)

2009-06-23T16:25:00.000-07:00

First concepts of my project I'd like to start when I'm finished with "dan, the dragon" rig.

I'm very excited about this. The idea came from work. I've been meaning to model something mechanical with treads (Wall-E inspired) I wanted something simple but you cant get any simpler then Wall-E =)

I've been working with Tanks at work for some time now and I thought it'd be a fun challenge to give it a shot and create a cartoon version of what I do at work.

cheers,

fatMan pose.

2009-01-18T13:28:00.000-08:00

I've managed to improve my fatMan character rig with muscles and better controls for the animators.
I will be starting another rig in a weeks time and its going to be of the dragon.
Hopefully this time, I'll actually put a story behind it and get an animation short out for fun.

Meet Dan(working title)

2008-11-26T21:28:00.000-08:00

To the drawing board. I have been busy with 2 character, "fatMan" and "Charlie" but those projects have come to an end. I was on the bus and started thinking about a character that would be a challenge to model, rig, and animate. BUT at the same time...FUN!
So i drew him. Meet,Dan! =)

Hello.

I've been busy w/ work lately. Soorry that I haven't been able to post lately but here is my latest character that I've modeled and rigged...and textured...and lit...you get point. His name is Charlie (a name given by a special friend of mine) haha...

enjoy!
btw. these images are for my latest demoreel that I will also post up on my reel blog, but I will do that in a week's time or so... =) cheers

- cute dog on the bus -

2008-11-03T17:32:00.001-08:00

on the way home on day...in aug. =) , i came across this cute dog in a bag. I honestly thought there were two in there. regardless, it was cute!

Charlie: some drawings =)

2008-10-08T11:00:00.000-07:00

Charlie =)

2008-10-08T10:44:00.000-07:00

The character is coming along. I've just added cylinders to block out the tires and engine =)
I cant wait to start rigging this. Hope you like.

Cheers

The Crown...

2008-10-06T11:26:00.000-07:00

The beginning stages of the Crown. I absolutely loved the Witch Kings from Lord of the Rings. This is no where near their talents, but I wanted a "bone" ish look to this crown. Its a start. lets see where I go from here =)

James??? (I dont like naming my characters, clearly)

2008-09-26T10:45:00.001-07:00

So yes...this rig is quite done. I'm just touching up on cleaning up the file. One thing I was not pleased with was the eyebrow hair. Call is laziness or what you mean, I know how to do it, and now I wish I had taken just a bit more time modeling the hair properly haha. Regardless, its a that is fun to animate.
For my next "human character" assignments, I will definently put hair. Check out my next Maya project. I'm fairly excited about this one more then ever. I found myself working on its concepts over this rig project I was doing.

zBrush

2008-09-24T14:11:00.000-07:00

Z-Brush modeling.
Go easy on me please. I'm getting back into it after a long time =) hope you like tho.

2008-06-25T02:54:00.000-07:00

So I've started my animation on another sound clip. This one I like a lot. Its another sound clip from Dumb and Dumber.

I will post that up later on in the day today.

Mad as hell!

2008-06-25T02:46:00.000-07:00

Hello. I have been a bit occupied lately, but anyway here's another animation clip.
I animated this character - only. =)

Rocky mountains -

2008-06-19T09:01:00.000-07:00

Sorry i was out all day yesterday, here's a lip sync animation piece =) positive feedback is appreciate
thanks

Rocky mountains

2008-06-17T12:13:00.002-07:00

So here's the deal. I had a industry professional check out my blog and I asked him for his honest feedback. His name, I wont say, but he gave me some goood advise from which one really hit me. Which is, post things 'you' like to do. I have been drawing a lot lately, which is amazing, but animation/rigging is my passion! I absolutely love to animate and rig. I cannot display character setup daily, BUT I can animate short clips and post these up!...So hopefully from now on, i will post animations yay!

character - not sure who it belongs to, but can be downloaded from highend3d.

cheers!

(p.s this animation short is not fully finished...gotta animate the rest of the clip. sound clip from Dumb and Dumber - greatest comedy of all time)

ew, blood!

2008-06-16T09:44:00.000-07:00

I drew this random character today, on top. I decided not to finish the coloring on it but submit what I had. But before doing so, I wanted to try this brush that I have, so I added some blood on his apron (i dont usually ever put blood on things or draw things relating to it lol) but what the heck! The middle drawing is something I did in my sketchbook and the cowboy is well, I want to practice drawing in Photoshop so =) so its a practice drawing =)

janitor, coming along =)

2008-06-15T19:15:00.000-07:00

I've somewhat finished the head modeling. I still have to do the hair. The shirt is a rough, still have to tweak it ... a lot needs to be done so stay tuned =)
Eyes are also a Ramp shader - nothing special

positive feedback / critiques - more then welcome, please =)

cheers!

okay, interesting. =)

2008-06-15T19:06:00.000-07:00

I have started modeling my Janitor character and I usually keep drawing him in random poses. This helps me develop the short film idea, and also gives me an idea how to model/rig this character. On top are three cool dudes!

enjoy

mr. turtle =)

2008-06-11T13:46:00.001-07:00

I was bored so i drew mr. turtle, who has a strange body...with dull shade of green, and blue eyes!

Storyboards part 1

2008-06-05T09:34:00.000-07:00

Hello.
Over the summer of 2007, I was doing my internship at March Entertainment where I excelled my knowledge in an area I was not very comfortable at first. But with the staff's great feedbacks and some tricks from Brad Birds notes, I learned a lot.

2006-12-21T16:53:00.000-08:00

wow. I've been away for some time now. Sheridan's been interesting this year...we've had lots of laughs and it been fun so far. We've had a great opportunity to work with some kick ass teachers this year like Dave Q., Douglas Smith, Mark Komza and many more. We've also had Bobby Chiu for couple of class for life drawing, as well. I wanted to thank him for getting me back into those extra lifedrawing sessions at night, so thanks man!
Anyway, I've been doddling around some sketches and here are two of em.

Hope you like it. =)

Under the Sea

2006-07-11T15:11:00.000-07:00

Once I was happy with the colored thumbnails, I started to to sketch out the thumbnail on bonb paper then cleaned up my drawing.

Finding Colors

2006-07-11T15:01:00.000-07:00

Okay so lets find colors... mmmm colors

Okay these were done really fast using various sources.

"Deep Blue"

2006-07-11T14:38:00.000-07:00

"Deep Blue" is a documentary directed by Alastair Forthergill and Andy Byatt. I'd come across this dvd sometime last week, and since learned a lot about our 'deep blue' planet. Anyhow I recommend this documentary to anyone and EVERYONE who wants to learn about our planet. Having seen this beautiful film, I was interested in learning more about the 'sea world.' I did a lot of research, after this and I watch Pixar's Finding Nemo and I was in love with the great deep ocean. I was soooo inspired to do something from this movie or make something look like its from the movie that I started sketching some rough thumbnails.

Flat tire - rough

2006-06-19T07:26:00.000-07:00

Here's the rough. At first I thought I would do a night scene but then I .... didn't. hmmmm

Its just to give me an idea as to what i want. As you can see that I've altered the drawing quiet a bit. The buildings in the back, the moon... and...and hahah i dont
know, I've changed the damn thing. haha

But yeah this is what i came out with once I did the thumbnail. I didn't want to add people in it. I wanted the drawing to be just cars and trucks.

Flat tire clean-up

2006-06-19T07:23:00.000-07:00

I've complete the rough, now its just a simple process of cleaning up the lines, getting rid of what you dont need and .... and....lots of coffee. mmmm coffeee

Flat tire!! =O

2006-06-19T07:13:00.000-07:00

Here's the final. Really simple. Hope you like it.

Photoshop

2006-06-17T18:48:00.000-07:00

i was bored. so just did something in photoshop...mmmm photoshop
=)

A quick simple layout

2006-06-17T15:16:00.000-07:00

Hello people. Hope you're enjoyin FIFA World Cup as I am...Go Brazil Go! Anyway, here's a quick simple layout I've kinda completed, it was just a thumbnail so I thought I'd color it. Kinda like a test for something else.
anyway. enjoy.

Thumbnail

2006-06-08T18:55:00.000-07:00

I started off with a thumbnail and started to think about composition and what I wanted in the drawing. I got a few here, check em out.

Cave, machine, stairs???

2006-06-08T18:40:00.000-07:00

Hello again. Its been awhile. I've been busy with stuff but I did manage a few drawings here and there...Okky this one isn't complete but a few of you fools have been asking me to post things up... hmmm wierd. Anyway here's a cave with some machine in it. HMMMmmmmm I was bored and I had no idear what I was doing =) but i do have some thumbnails to check em out.

Colors of Sky

2006-05-05T22:11:00.000-07:00

I was drawing just a hour ago...random things on a piece of paper. I came to draw these three and i dont know what was it about them, I just wanted to paint em...
I got on the Painter and here's what I got. This is quite small on the paper, a thumbnail really. Well here is the painting of it, I hope you like it.

ron the racoon

2006-05-04T20:57:00.000-07:00

I started some designs in my sketch book of a raccoon. I thought it this one design was kinda cute so I made a "model sheet" for him. I haven't thought of the name yet, but for now lets call him "ron."

Maya =)

2006-05-04T10:30:00.000-07:00

Hello again. I've been been working with Maya to model this human head. Though its a long and painful process to model a human head, I must say that once you've completed it, the feeling is great. But then you have to rig the damn thing and not to mention textures...errrrrrr...so yeah this is what I have gotten so far. BOY...I hate UVs. But I will get the textures done soon, I hope =). Anyway, hope you like it.

Warrior Dude...=)

2006-05-01T22:03:00.000-07:00

Man and Machine

2006-04-30T19:40:00.000-07:00

Hello again. I was going through one of my folders with my old drawings in it and I came across this one. I had never drawn body armor before or something of that nature so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here is what came out...

Concept art

2006-04-29T22:09:00.000-07:00

So I was watching The Matrix over the summer, 2005 and I was like...hmm lets draw something from that world and this is what I came out with.

Experiment on Human

2006-04-29T21:35:00.000-07:00

Okay so here's a character I designed last summer cause I was bored. It started off with the side view of just spheres. Slowly, I worked up the general shape of what i wanted and then I then worked up the front and back view, and finally finished off with minor details.

Green eyes

2006-04-29T14:18:00.000-07:00

These sketches are from one of my sketchbooks. I just thought I'd paint the girl...I'm gonna finish the fatty soon. I think.

T2 in 2001 =)

2006-04-29T13:58:00.000-07:00

Here's one of my drawings I did awhile back. I did this drawing on a illustration board, its quite big. I really like this drawing because...well most of you who know me know that I dont have a art background and I basically start drawing in the year 2001, after I finished my course at Seneca College, so it was one of my first "cool" drawings that I really like. BTW, Terminator 2 is one of my favorite movies...if u're into cg effects, you know what I'm talking about then.

Castle and the Sky

2006-04-29T13:53:00.000-07:00

This was one of the first assignments for the Digital Painting class we have. The layout is by Michael Hitchcox, I think (sorry), I just painted it in Photoshop and Painter.

Rocks

2006-04-29T13:46:00.000-07:00

Here's something I did...I call it "Rocks." This came from a thumbnail concept I did for a layout assignment.
I'm open to comments and suggestions =)

I have a blog thinggy now =)

2006-04-29T13:37:00.000-07:00

Hello people.
I'm Farrukh. I've just finished another year at Sheridan College for the BAAA Animation program. Wow, it was one fast year. This year was surely fun. Anyway I will be posting up some of my drawings and things I find interesting up. First, I've gotta figure this out...this blog thinggy, cause I'm pretty useless with things like this.
