Used pieces of various Italian villages to create a new composition and then using overpaint and compositing techniques. This is one of the first full on landscapes I've created in a very long time, and certainly the first with this much detail. This semester in Concept design was one I was dreading as the projects were all based on my weakness...environments, large scale light Dan Romenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15644272090537663088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941531946511953413.post-48249832714828685162011-03-31T00:21:00.001-05:002011-03-31T00:25:00.008-05:00More fun with Zbrush.Things are picking up with Zbrush. Feel a lot more control than I started and it's creating a lot more efficiency and effectiveness. I'm starting to be able to much more easily translate my style from the page onto the sculpt.

It's as close as you can get to having actual clay in your hand. Their artist results are ridiculous. The fine people at Pixologic have blown my mind.I do not consider myself a natural modeler when it comes to Maya or 3DSMax. It just doesn't come with a great sense of intuition to me.

It's been great getting back to art. My maquette skull is still a work in progress, poor girl is still sitting around with her bald head. Once I get my phone reloaded, I'll try to get some pictures up...or I'll have to take new ones. I've added wrinkles and other textures to her face.The above two works are Dan Romenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15644272090537663088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941531946511953413.post-61924301976291512052010-09-02T10:08:00.004-05:002010-09-02T10:27:22.026-05:00MapdanaThe Riverwest 24 this year was an awesome event and I got the privlidge of designing a Map that was then printed onto bandanas.

I also added eyes. To help with the consistency of shape, I dug holes in granny's head and filled in the space with glass marbles.

Coming along. Something that is odd about sculpture is that it's easy to go from a point where forward progress is happening quickly to suddenly finding yourself working on a small object or minute details for hours. Solid work that yields next to nothing in terms of noticeable results. For instance, I have one decent looking ear, but totally dicked it in terms of placement and size Dan Romenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15644272090537663088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941531946511953413.post-55348102510415889012010-06-23T00:43:00.004-05:002010-06-23T00:46:37.108-05:00Week ThreeDan Romenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15644272090537663088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941531946511953413.post-53978752694427575512010-06-23T00:35:00.006-05:002010-06-23T00:43:38.768-05:00Here is some of the slow moving progress of the maquette skull that we are working on...this would be week two...Dan Romenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15644272090537663088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941531946511953413.post-86162881951498225322010-05-22T10:48:00.000-05:002010-05-22T10:50:15.254-05:00Roaring Dan's Rum is my newest label design for Great Lakes DistilleryCothadactylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04506175863854037886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941531946511953413.post-45964593292227700602010-05-15T08:59:00.002-05:002010-05-15T09:00:01.167-05:00Nessun Dorma Chalk BoardCothadactylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04506175863854037886noreply@blogger.com0
