<br />
had some time on the new Pacific Rim Uprising film working as a creature designer. I did this job through Weta Workshop and worked with Greg Tozer and Leri Greer on the 3 main Kaiju as well as the Mega Kaiju. Greg Tozer had a big influence over most of the Kaiju and the Kaiju in their final forms look pretty cool! The kind of job you wish you were on always.<br />

for anyone who still looks at blogs these days!? I've had a bit of a gap between work and decided to spend the day doing a personal piece. I called this one "Still" and imagined him patiently waiting in the water for a delicious fish to swim by to snatch up.<br />

I worked at WetaWorkshop along with Leri Greer who oversaw the project as well as getting to collaborate with Ryan Griffen who created the show and Jake Nash who were fantastic to work with. I learned a lot about Aboriginal culture and felt fortunate enough to be apart of this team. Currently been working on Season 2 which looks to be just as good!<br />

Clarke's Childhood's End TV adaptation. I worked up the designs at <a href="https://www.wetanz.com/">WetaWorkshop</a> and the incredible team at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MakeupEffectsGroup/?fref=ts">Makeup Effects Group</a> created the suit that Charles Dance would perform in. Please check the Makeup Effects link for more production stills and videos, they did an incredible job! It was such an honour as well to find out Charles Dance was going to be doing the performance of Karellen. I loved the book and felt he was a perfect fit as well as Tywin Lannister being one of my favourite villains of all time!<br />
<br />
Here's a small sample of the work that got done as well as the final concept (attempting) to put Dance's likeness into the design.<br />

<br />
This fella was done as a pitch piece for a film still in production with Director Biz Crummett, she was kind enough to let me show the piece which was done in 2o12. Stay tuned for that project with more to come! <br />

<br />
... And THIS fella was just to do a dragon piece again. I used some 3D and painted over the model from a Keyshot render.<br />

<br />
I should add that this isn't how I see Sasquatch (real or not) but was following the brief of this character being an antagonist... Would like to do a version someday of a more peaceful creature.androobakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03453008459051028372noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337483112055870311.post-73325493509440572572015-07-19T01:01:00.000-07:002015-07-19T01:01:32.948-07:00The GuardA new personal piece which was based on a design I've been working on for my own project. It will be featured in the next volume of <a href="http://www.whitecloudworlds.com/">White Cloud Worlds</a> which I'm very proud to be apart of. The book will feature a lot of amazing talent from all over Aotearoa. There'll be a kickstarter being launched soon as well but more news on that to come.<br />

We worked with <a href="http://www.6ft.com/">SixFoot</a> and <a href="http://www.petroglyphgames.com/">Petroglyph</a> to help fill their world with aliens, humans, industry... you name it!<br />
<br />
I was mainly involved with the alien design and their physiology. Really happy how loyal they were to the design in the final and while I haven't played the game yet, I hear good things, and the cinematics look incredible!<br />

Such an amazing tool and I haven't been this excited with a program since Zbrush first came out I think. <br />
<br />
It's a bit of a comedic commentary on a few things, but I'll let you decide what that may be for you.<br />

Largely based on the many descriptions found of greys, although I did my own take on the suit material... avoided the aluminium look. The symbols are roughly based on the Rendlesham forest incident where a military officer is said to have transcribed the symbols off a craft he had seen. Alot of fun recreating this guy and hopefully will be able to do more with this model in the future. Possibly will do a 3D print of this guy!<br />

I decided to revisit a sculpt I had done a few years back of Wayne Barlowes Baron Faraii from Gods Demon. One of my favourite books! It's an epic tale and this character is one of my favourites! I will render the stulpt out once i'm further along with the base and upload it on this thread but here is the updated version of Faraii!<br /><br />I wanted to stick very close to Waynes beautiful work and existing designs of the character and you can see some of my reference here...<br /><a href="http://waynebarlowe.wordpress.com/artwork/hell/">Wayne Barlow - Barlowes Inferno and Brushfire</a><br />
<br />
And also if you haven't read the book, I HIGHLY recommend it!<br />

<br />
Just back from Calgary and the US and we had a great time promoting the new Hobbit art of book, which you can get a copy from here:<br />
<a href="http://www.wetanz.com/smaug-unleashing-the-dragon/?affiliate=1834">Smaug - Unleashing the dragon</a><br />
We were tasked with trying many things as you often are doing the design work, so most time is spent on whats not working. But feel we got to a good solution in the end :) Here's a small toke of whats in the book from myself.<br />
So here are some of the pieces I did featured in the book. The design that made it through is featured on a couple of posts down from this one, but most of these were the reject designs which were a lot of fun working on! <br />

Last year I got to work on a really fun horror called "Haunt" Directed by Mac Carter. The film hasn't been released in NZ yet so haven't been able to watch it but the stills of the lady look great! <br />
<br />
I worked with Weta and Special Effects make up artists Joe Dunckley and Sarah Rubano creating these designs, and the extremely talented Michael Asquith sculpted the prosthetic. Was a great job and everyone did amazing work! Here are some of the concepts.<br />

Really pleased to be able to share this work from The Hobbit with you. I'm restricted to using the artwork here so please be aware any sharing of these images is done so without my permission. All of this artwork can be found in the latest installment of the <a href="http://www.wetanz.com/chronicles-art-and-design-dos/">Hobbit art of chronicles</a> so please get a copy for a better look and explanation of how the designs all went down. <br />
<br />
This project was incredibly stressful and at times, seemed impossible to finish but once again I worked with an incredible team at the WetaWorkshop Design Studio and as I've said before a project like this is largely a collaborative one and I'd like to thank Richard Taylor and the crew as well as all the amazing artists at Weta Digital for bringing these beasts to life!<br />

These were some of the final passes I got on Azog. Due to time constraints the design ended up being a lot more symmetrical than featured here and wish they'd have kept his birthmark under his eye. Jamie Beswarick had a large influence on the overall character, I was involved with changing the design of the face. Gus Hunter then did a costume pass using elements from Nick Keller's previous costume design. But featured is just the artwork I created. :)<br />

Beorn. He went through many looks and featured is a small amount of what I contributed to the character/creature. <br />

Some spider designs. I designed the overall look for the ones in the film, however the front of the head and some additional "jaws" were added to the film ones. :/<br />

Last but not least, the REAL king under the mountain :) Many hands contributed to the look of this amazing creature, and I was real happy with how he turned out in the end! Special mention to John Howe, Alan Lee, Jamie Beswarick, Dan Cockersell, Greg Tozer, Gus Hunter, Mike Asquith and the Weta Digital crew! My involvement mainly focused on the head and below is a SMALL selsect of some of the final art and the Zbrush sculpt I used for the last one. More to come in the future hopefully but this is all I can show now.<br />

I got the chance, a long with some other amazing creature artists and designers, to create a book focusing on creature design, inspiration and art.<br />
<a href="http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/essence/creature/index.php">Essence: Creatures</a> is a book featuring this fella below, and a few other creatures I've created for the book. All the artists have contributed to a wide range of styles and takes on the subject, and any creature enthusiast should have a blast flippin through the pages. Very stoked to have been asked, and a big thanks to Bryan Wynia for making this happen!<br />

It was a great experience creating the program, one I'm sure to repeat again! My only challenge was creating the artwork on such a small scale on screen, but I got over it really quickly. My students are quickly putting my work to shame! I'll be dusting off my ol kitchen knives soon looking for work after this judging by how well they're doing! :P<br />
<br />
Phoenix really has created an awesome method for learning, one I wish I had when I was approaching this industry, and I'm really glad to be involved! <br /><br />androobakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03453008459051028372noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337483112055870311.post-75456722407217024172013-10-15T18:50:00.001-07:002013-10-15T18:50:59.463-07:00Mary DoeI've had the great pleasure of working with <a href="http://www.megeffects.com.au/">M.E.G.</a> outside of my Weta hours on a number of projects but namely <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mary-Doe-Movie/174749519228995">Mary Doe</a> which has been created by Nick Nicolaou and his team including Paul Katte, who has been a make up artist on a number of films including the Hobbit, which is where we met. <br />
<br />
I think original story and independent properties like this are what will really change cinema, giving us all something to be excited about again. It really was a pleasure to contribute to the wealth of idea' s that Nick has created in this world. <br />
<br />
To get a better idea of it all, check out the <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1251452262/mary-doe-movie-promo-trailer">kickstarter</a> they have going and if the idea of it sounds good.. you can also see a creative spotlight on yours truly <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1251452262/mary-doe-movie-promo-trailer/posts/630327">here</a>... help out a little by backing. Some cool rewards for those that do!<br />
