Sacer


I think most people who follow graffiti know Sace/Dash Snow died..so I thought this could be an appropriate post. I saw this tag recently and I was amazed at how the Meanstreak or whatever he used for the tag actually gave it dimension. It's like he smeared wax or clay, and it's fucking awesome.

Sonis Render Preview


I've been working on this for a while so here is a peak! It's just a simple 3/4 view of my car the "Sonis" from my transportation class last semester.

Converse Weapon Evo



I really like the way these look. I love the influence of retro style but the addition of updated modern tech and accents in the shoe really makes this an interesting design.

I don't know which I love more.

Katsu

I've been a huge fan of Katsu's stuff for a while, this is so sick. I saw the last part in person and I couldn't tell what it was when I first saw it, but I knew that i recognized it.

Gothic




long, but worth it.

the only thing I don't like about this is when he draws out, and fills in lines. I feel like it should all be pretty swift and fluid.

Sketchbook Uploads




I added a few things to my coroflot if anybody is interested. I've got my trans model, and some sketchbook pages up.

take over the world

beautiful.




The amount of skill in this is just completely out of control. All for an art form that is more liable to put you in jail and ruin your life than make any sort of profit...

WindMachine




Pretty irrelevant name but some good alias practice! This is my first real example of a cohesive model and render job done in alias. A little bit of post production has been done in photoshop to give the render a little more life...

i'm into it.

Bath Chair Final





So the bath chair is finally done..  The project was to redesign the ugly Lumex chair, which has existed sans-update since the 80's and make it both more beautiful, and more functional.  

The project was very open ended and was given to all of Pratt's students in the Junior 3-D
 classes.  We started making 3-D sketches that were supposed to convey the motion of rising and falling.. that was it.  Our sketches were displayed and the 16 best people were chosen to continue the project.  I was lucky enough to be selected and I continued on.

I had no idea how taxing this project was going to be on top of school, 2 jobs, and 1 internship.  The people kept getting narrowed down further and further until I was one of 5 students left.

My focus on this project was to take a product that was sterile, necessary, mechanical, and ugly, and turn it into a thing of beauty that not only would function better, and more comfortably as a chair, but would become an object of desire for it's sitters.  I wanted whoever needed this item, due to either disability or old age, to be able to walk into their bathrooms and be proud of the beautiful piece of furniture they were about to use that could assist them in their shower and help them regain an independence they may not have had before.

Simply put I wanted to take a symbol of being disabled and flip it around, into a symbol of pride, and happiness.
