This is an Orc inspired by the game World of Warcraft. It is 2500 polygons and uses a 512x512 and a 512x256 texture map. This game character was modeled in 3dsMax and hand painted using Photoshop.

Iron Lore Entertainment recently sponsored Cgchat’s Comp 28. I was able to get permission to participate with the contestants using an actual asset for our game Titan Quest.
Here is how it turned out:




During the course of the challenge I was asked about my technique for texturing hair. I made this Hair Demo to show how I hand painted all of it:
http://www.bobotheseal.com/vids/BoBo_Hair_Demo.zip
It’s in .swf format as that was the smallest file size versus quality I could put together. Simply download the zip and open with your web browser (you need Shockwave installed) or with a Shockwave player. I’m working on getting an .avi hosted somewhere other than my server.
This was thrown together real quick. It’s in real time and simply shows a few techniques for achieving different types of hair and fur with some custom brushes. It’s basically the technique I learned from this great tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/print/tips/phs...lhair/main.html
That tutorial also goes into how to create custom brushes.
and for fun here is his run cycle. Big ups to Brian Labore who rigged and animated this guy and to Rich Sullivan for helping me get started on the concept!

He was a lot of fun to paint and is a character I'd like to revisit at some point.

This was done for fun in my spare time. It’s been a while since I’ve had time to work on any personal work so I really had a lot of fun with this.

Ghost Recon 2 has shipped for the Xbox, so I thought I’d show the work I did through Streamline Studios on the cinematics. I did the texturing for these high poly heads. Each head consist of a diffuse, bump, and spec map. Since I’ve been a game artist for so long (and used to painting in all the details), I really had to retrain myself to be much more subtle. That being said I think it’s pretty obvious which where my earlier attempts and which were done closer to the end of the project. I really had a lot of fun with these and learned a lot from the experience. Definitely something I want to do more of. I’m not sure if the modeler wants to be openly credited or not but as soon as I find out I’ll be sure to post his name and portfolio. He kicks major ass!

This was a concept created for the Demon Prince ThunderDome over at http://www.conceptart.org
Iron Lore Entertainment(the company I work for) recently purchased the entire run of analog DVD's from Gnomon Workshop http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com. I just made it through the Iain McCaig set and wanted to create a character study in the same composition he demonstrates in the DVD's. A body study and a head study.
As far as any other influence with the direction I took, just over a year ago I turned down an offer to work on Prince of Persia Warrior Within. This was extremely hard for me to do because it’s been a dream of mine to work on a game like that. I just wanted to give him a bit of a feel of that series.
