My classes are over! For the semester anyway, and I'm taking the summer off. My crossover into the Dark Side (as my stop-motion colleagues like to call the world of CG) is well under way, and it's been a good time. (It's also been exhausting, since I enrolled in three classes and then got a job I've had fifty-something hour weeks. Bleah.)
I call this guy Thorn. I wanted to do a realistic old man's face so I could get practice sculpting wrinkles and textures (you can see more detail if you click on the pictures). Realism is a marketable skill to cultivate, too.
But I also gave him crazy head because I wanted to play around with alien-y looking stuff.
And after going for a realistic paint job, I goofed around with some garish colors. This is "Voodoo Thorn."

Fantastic! You have come a long way with this stuff in a very short peiord of time, well done! How soon before I can buy an action figure of this guy?
Yeah, that's great shit, Octo! Thorn would make a worthy super vilain.
Dude, that looks fucking great!
How did you texture it? How did you get those colors where you wanted them?
He's incredible Octo, damn I wish I was in that class too. Great stuff, really great!
great job, dude -- i love the cross-wrinkle detail on thorn's forehead.
my question is, how long before the first episode of "the Animated Adventures of Horrorthon," and can you make my character with a long flowing cape?
So gay.
I call Ultimate Warrior facepaint and horns for myself.
Brilliant stuff, Octo!
No capes!
This guy is amazing, bro. Not that I expected anything less!
