Back in 22/23 I worked across a myriad of characters and props, both modelling and surfacing, the highlight of which would have been creating the Last Black Panther in ep 4 It's a sad reflection of the state of the industry that the animation company responsible for this folded before it even aired.

Happy Friday .... RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

I’ve been very much enjoying Common Side Effects, thought I’d have a stab at a quick model of Marshall. #commonsideeffects #blender #zbrush

Yeah, more of this shit, like Pinterest isn’t already swamped with crappy AI images anyway. The race to the bottom continues. futurism.com/pinterest-da...

Apparently it’s #werewolfwednesday, as good an excuse as any to repost this one

UK folks, if you want your voice heard in regards to the government selling the creative industries down the river to AI tech firms, then you can do so here: www.gov.uk/government/c...

This is a piece I wrote a while back, critiquing some of my early work in the industry, and talking about the technical limitations we faced as 3D artists in the year 2000. It was a struggle! www.artstation.com/blogs/mattcl...

Earlier this year, I spent an otherwise boring afternoon trying to fix Ash's botched head effect in the original Alien. It almost worked, just don't look too close...👀

I made this prop for a thing last year, and it was practically invisible in the finished piece, so here it is center stage.

This years homemade Christmas tree bauble belongs in a museum.

Juicy gun details

Christmas tree going up soon, I always look forward to seeing this guy again...

'Chopper', from 2000ads Judge Dredd strip. This is based on Cam Kennedy's artwork in the 1985 'Midnight Surfer' story. Needs a bit of TLC to get it finished

70's Hulk doodle 🙂😧😠🤢

Johnny Alpha based on the character from #2000ad. I remember spending ages on this pose, trying to push it into something really dynamic, but also aware that I'd probably gone too far. One of the first comments I got was something like "why are his legs broken?", and it ruined my day 😄

Another one from a while back, this was based on an @ianmcque.bsky.social sketch, sculpted in #zbrush.

This is a short film I made back in 2010 with my good buddy Ross Neil. It was originally a pitch for Coldplay music video, and they were onboard to begin with but ended up going a different route. I decided to go ahead and finish it, with a slight edit and new sound track youtu.be/YXhU1upWXbM

Another unfinished oldie, this is what I look like before coffee in the morning.

I made this last year with the intention of 3d printing her as an alternative fairy for the top of the Christmas tree, but ran out of time. Here I am wondering if I should try again... #zbrush #studioghibli #spiritedaway

Rumour has it he skipped leg day....

Judge Dredd face reveal...!

Wookie doodle

I remember watching the repeats of the original Star Trek series as a young boy in the late 70's, and waiting until the end credits where you'd see a brief, tantalising glimpse of this guy, and it used to terrify me... but I liked it 😆

I have so many 'unfinished' models where the itch is scratched and I don't feel the need to carry on, or I think 'I'll come back to this' knowing full well I never will...😄

SMILE!

The Mekon, #zbrush speed sculpt

Zbrush doodle

Been playing around with Brushstrokes in #blender, and generally having a lot of fun. The sculpt was done in #zbrush and based on an original sketch by @jensclaessens.bsky.social

This guy was loosely based on an early maquete for Jabba the Hutt, created by Phil Tippett for Return of the Jedi. Sculpted #zbrush

Revisiting another old piece

The Grey Heron from The Boy and the Heron. Sculpted in #zbrush and seen here in a #blender #cycles viewport. #ghibli

One from the never-to-be-finished scrap heap...

Another 2000ad character, this was my take on Dave Gibbons Rogue Trooper from a few years back. Interested to see where @manmademoon.bsky.social takes him in his upcoming feature.

Judge Dredd model from a few years back, this was still a WIP, I'd like to get back to working some more on it one day...

Walter Kovacs, aka Rorschach from Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen. Sculpted in #zbrush. I still have my original 80s copy on my book shelf, it's quite tatty these days, need some of those white gloves you see historians wearing in museums to handle it ;) #watchmen #characterart

A little ode to Ray Harryhausen, Talos from Jason and the Argonauts.

GET TO THE CHOPPER! The Predator, sculpted in Zbrush, textured in Substance Painter, rendered in 3ds max.

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, from Ghostbusters. A self imposed quick turnaround to model, texture, rig and animate. I think I did the whole thing in a day, but it might have been a reaaallly long day. Sculpted in #zbrush, surfaced in #substancepainter, rigged, animated and rendered in #3dsmax

If you recognise this one then have a sit down, you're getting old.

Joe Pineapples, based on the character from 2000ad's ABC Warriors strip. This was in the 80's before he got into cross dressing 😉

Mr Hyde, based on the character from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, created by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neil. Sculpted in Zbrush.

How babies are made....
