Grindylow released

Scott Spencer — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 21:41:00 +0000

The Grindylow sculpt I did for Gentle Giant has released as an AFX exclusive. The Merperson was started from scan data but the Grindylow is a digital sculpt. There was actually no data on that character.

Had a great couple days presenting at the Gnomon and Pixologic booths. When I looked across from the Pixo booth I got the neat suprise of seeing the "Stingerhead" ad hanging above the Cintiq booth!

Heres the banner for my current online class.

and my Gnomon Live presentation is moving along. Trying to pull it all together. I hope it will be a good demo for all.

Currently working on several projects at Gentle Giant, not sure if I can admit to any of them in print online yet.

Between terms at Gnomon. In April I will be back with 3 classes Intro to ZBrush, Digital Sculpting and Human Anatomy, and Advanced ZBrush. I will also have another online section of Advanced ZBrush running.

Website redesign underway!

Scott Spencer — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 23:22:00 +0000

A long overdue overhaul is in progress on this page. The portfolio was embarassingly out of date but I am glad to say I have set some time aside and I am now updating the galleries!

Thanks for stopping by!
