Predalien Finished Sculpt

Finished sculpt for the Predalien, tomorrow I'll start on the rest of the textures.

Projects in Progress

A few work in progress images of my various doings...

I've been cooking up a design idea, a variation of the A.D.I. Predalien design spawning from the the "super-Predator" introduced in the new PREDATORS movie.

Also based on the new "super-Predator" breed from the new PREDATORS movie.

This particular predator is an albino and if infamous even in the Yautja culture. Known as "Cetanu" (The God of Death) and "M-di H'dlak" (The Persecutor), he favors his unique katana inspired "M-di H'chak" swords and will relentlessly track those who would ignore the Yautja codes of honor, collecting a finger for his talisman necklace from each of his hunts.

Xaeth Model Complete

Here's the finished model of Xaeth. Now I need to come up with animations and model clothing and armor, which I haven't tried before. This will prove to be a new test.

Xaeth Model Progress

Still fine-tuning posture and proportions. I'm currently working on the textures of the individual pieces; blending the textures together is a laborious but rewarding process. The only drawback is that I constantly have to switch windows between Photoshop and Maya, until I get a dual monitor setup.

Xaeth - Nurbs Model

Here's the finished nurbs sculpt model of my character Xaeth based on the finalized design.

Textures come next.
