Hi guys,

as some of you may know, I live in Athens Greece
and for the past few days it has been all hell let loose.

The event that started it all was a murder, a cop that shot
a 15 year old kid in cold blood through the heart.

This piece is sort of a satirical tribute, showing that the ones causing the mayhem are actually the cops that have sworn to protect us.

After the events a cycle of peaceful marches and riots started. People were doing damage to the city of Athens and the media tried were trying to blame it on the demonstrators, something we knew was only partly true.

Finally somebody had the balls and showed a picture of masked men with clubs talking peacefully with cops, confirming the public's suspicion that it was the government's job.

RIP Alexis


About 4 hours. Sketch on paper, scanned, Photoshop.

Some tests I'm doing to finalize the look of the
chaos marine]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:20:42 +0000 http://koyima.cgsociety.org/gallery/697632

Hello guys,

This is an image I made for a series of lessons for Binary Divinity (www.binarydivinity.com).

The lessons show the progress from cube to fully textured, sculpted, rendered head.

I show the whole process in a 20+ hour real-time series of videos while narrating my every thought and process.
From concept to completion.

We explore modeling techniques
for:
easy and fast head production,
head texturing (normal, mutated and lava covered, in photoshop and zapplin),
sculpting (freestyle and based on texture detail),
model and utility map exporting (normal,cavity,displacement) and finally
rendering (displacement, sss, lighting, final gather settings)

Various stages and the final models,
textures are included in the lesson for further study and manipulation. Useful for both game and film cg.

This isn't a very strong piece of art, but while talking and showing the whole process without skipping steps I sacrificed some freedom and experimentation so I consider it done and cool for the purpose it was made for.

I use Photoshop, 3dsmax, zbrush and mental ray. Some post in photoshop.

Also check out www.binarydivinity.com for the Downloadable Lessons if you are interested.

Thanx

The Art Institutes - Pear Pirate Ad

Hi guys.

This is a spot I worked on a few months ago.

I was responsible for the pear pirate (modeling, texturing, shading, rigging).

Animation and the rest of the spot was done by the kind folks at www.animalspots.com

Hi Guyz,

this is a strip I did for a contest held by a magazine
called "9" here in Greece. Mostly painted
in one night and most of the sketches were done in one afternoon.

Tech-Info:
I used Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom A4 to do this. Sketches and
most of the shading done on simple A4 sheets and a 2B pencil.
Painting is rough because I was in a hurry.

This beautiful girl is Erictho. An ancient Greek sorceress that I made for the game we are working on here at track7games. Some say she older than any civilization, so she can't be Greek, but she lived in Thessaly Greece for some time and she is one of the many interesting and unusual characters in our game.

As usual 3dsmax, photoshop, zbrush. Mental ray for renders, although nothing special is happening.

A minotaur I made for the game we are working on at track7games. Check out the website here: www.theseisgame.com

This is the ingame model rendered with vray. I use 3dsmax, photoshop and zbrush as my main tools and this piece was no exception. Some texture samples were taken from another minotaur we did for a cinematic.

An ancient half serpent king and obviously mythical creature, Ericthonios. My take on him looks more alien than the classic design,which has him as man from the waist up and serpent from the waist down.]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 18:01:13 +0000 http://koyima.cgsociety.org/gallery/627452

A guy I made for fun, but posted on a company's contest and got 2nd prize]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:20:00 +0000 http://koyima.cgsociety.org/gallery/604054

This is a rework of an older media piece we did for the game. I used photoshop to make the lighting which didn't exist in the first pick. I added cloth, wear and tear the smoke (which looks a bit "airbrushy").

I played with the levels of the image to make it more "3d" and I also got ridof the grainy look the original had.

All in all it took me about 2hours to make this look better. But ofcourse at the time we were on a tight deadline. Some of my fellow colleagues believe that the first one had a different spookier mood (which is true). Somebody even suggested a mix, but i think I'm not going to revisit this one again.

Crits are always welcome though (cos you know I only stopped cos it isn't worth it, not because it's perfect)]]> Tue, 04 Mar 2008 18:54:51 +0000 http://koyima.cgsociety.org/gallery/595135

A waxy guy.

I made this using 3dsmax for the base mesh, photshop for the texturing, zbrush for some sculpting and mental ray to render him.

I used the sss fast skin shader. It still needs tweaking since my backscatter layer hasn't really been worked on, but i like the waxy-silicone look he has.

CnC is welcome although i think I know what I have to fix to get rid of the wax look. And I'm working on a shader for the eyes, currently it's just a simple material with a color(diff) map.
