#speedsculpt #nomadsculpt I needed a bat head dood for a course chapter so… nomad sculpt and an episode of Monarch: Legacy of Monster and there we go. Why ZBrush doesn’t have live rendering I’ll never know.

I LOVE the way #gravitysketch allows me to use well established sub division tools but in an immersive environment. Those models are clean, scaled and printable if you do it right

#gravitysketch do an awesome job with beginner lessons and learning the tools. My course will cover all that but then focus on how I use it in industry and especially the sub d modeling tools for great geometry.

#quetzalcoatlus #WIP I’m thinking a full cliff edge of these guys could be a nice display. I’m learning so much about #pterasaur anatomy mostly from @mark_witton books

Next JW related critter! Working on a 3D print of the giant pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus — one of the largest flying animals to ever live.

Another massive print off to a good home @mollyHeadycarroll from #wacomeurope took her home to Germany after #motion_north last week. Let’s see if she pops up at more Wacom events over the summer! #drex

The best advice I’ve heard since covid. What an inspirational guy! @cyriak_h #wacomeurope #motion_north

How to you pack a 700mm Drex??? @motion_north #wacomeurope

Who doesn’t love wings! Two full plates full here!

I’ll be at #motion_north for two days now hanging around with my @wacomeurope friends. Plenty of kit to try out and possible get your hand on! I’m taking a few printed goodies to share with the right artists! Come say hi if you see me around.

I had to throw a creature in there of course! #gravitysketch

We are making this #gravitysketch course ‘academic’ friendly adding learning outcomes, lesson plans and a help with rubrics. A reflection of the work I’ve been doing in University in recent years. I’ve aimed it at students from level 3 - 6 but in reality it’s for anyone.

We’ve almost finished the new #gravitysketch course. It’s a beginners course and we have made a few changes from our previous courses.

Back from the spray booth (large cardboard box!) fully undercoated.

Made a nice wallpaper for the ipad.

#pterasaur concept progress

I don’t know why I find blender so hard to master. I seem to forget so much each time I don't touch it for a few months. I need a good rigging course for creatures if anyone can help me track a good one down?

A new avenue of creature design reaching over to the giant flying reptiles the #pterosaurs this one being my first stab at a #nyctosaurus

I need to do a ton of research here as the information is sparse and lots is inaccurate. Just acquired the @mark_witton Pterosaurs to help

It’s ’take your Drex to work day!!’ My boy wants to drive which is utterly ridiculous. He’s only had three lessons!
@wacomeurope @motion_north

Pretty much finished my Palette and Rack Pack. I’ve full reorganised my painting spaces and it’s cleared my mind in some way. I like chaos but it needs to be controlled chaos to make things work!

I’ll share the links this week for anyone wanting to print their own.

I was asked about modeling and printing at 1:10th scale so I made a little video by way of reply. #nomadsculpt #elegoo #chitubox #1:10th

Oh crap! I left some West Indian lilac on my desk!

If you get that reference we are already friends! Possibly for life.

Look ma, I’m doing Blender!

#styracosaurus WIP showing the very first print test off the #saturn4ultra with Space grey 8k resin. I’m not happy with a few things here but they are all tweaks not do-overs. I’ve learnt so much about Ceratopsians recently I will have to go back and fix some older models.

Next in my little list is #styracosaurus i recorded this one from a sphere so I share the process in my creature course. Time to think about printing him #ceratopsian #horneddinsaurs

#pachyrhinosaurus more print tests

I’ve mostly finished printing and redesigning the layout of my paint desk. I’ve decided to remove all my citadel paints from the racks as I just don’t use many of them these days apart from washes #bambup1s #bambua1

#nomadsculpt shadowcatcher super helpful feature

I sometimes walk away from certain artistic communities or even stop using some software or tool. I refuse to become a one trick pony for clicks and likes and it’s happened many times in my artist career. That said, here’s some more of my botanical art. #polymath not #dilattente

#shadowcatcher in #nomadsculpt. take a look over at SouthernGFX YouTube

Such a useful feature. Helps you add shadows when using background plates
