WTF

Welcome!

Welcome to my page. I've been a computer graphics enthusiast ever since I discovered Nintendo and Paintbrush on windows 3.1. I have educational backgrounds in graphic design and computer animation. On top of this I have always had an urge to create things. Below are some examples of my work. If possible please send comments and suggestions as I may continually improve my efforts. Thank you for visting! -Lee

"Feel Like A Stranger" Date Posted: 10-23-2008
..............................................................................................................

Did this sketch of a "stranger" the other night- theres definitely some things I like about it. I'll try to post this on ZBrush Central to get some ideas on which direction to take it. I'm still new to the whole forum thing and believe I should have jumped onboard a long, long time ago. Right now I'm thinking I would leave it as a bust but try and detail the heck out of it. I personally think it needs more variation. I may add some horns or spikes. Stay tuned. If Interested my ZBC forum username is Wolfman'sBrother. http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/member.php?u=92974

"New Website"
Date Posted: 10-14-2008
..............................................................................................................

I have to admit that I have put off re-doing a website for some time now. Since discovering programs like Mudbox and Zbrush, my outlook on what is possible as a graphic artist has changed immensly and therefore felt it necessitated a new place to display my works. I've spent almost a year of my free time learning zbrush . The first bit was exposing all the ins and outs of the program. (I am still learning about pushing it to absolute extremes). The last three months have been more focused on the studying and memoriziation of anatomy. I believe this has really increased the potential quality of future projects. Currently, I've been working on some characters for a demo reel and therefore left the site content somewhat bare-bones. However I have included a temporary gallery that (I hope) displays a broad knowlege of graphics softwares. The next step is to make this main page into an active w.i.p. blog. Right now Ill try to leave it in blog-like format and tackle the rest as I go along. I mainly wanted to get something up for the time being. Here are some examples:

TRADITIONAL EXAMPLES:

Pencil/charcoal/Photoshop
maquettes- polymer clay
