I'll have to edit this for later, but this is my Cape Buffalo Soldier concept for a graphic novel project I'm working on.]]> Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:59:32 +0000 http://imhotep397.cgsociety.org/gallery/659370

I thought I uploaded this already, but I don't see. I'm trying to go for subtle horror/fantasy. Any suggestions on how to improve without altering the existing color scheme would be great.]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:17:08 +0000 http://imhotep397.cgsociety.org/gallery/607158

This is another character for my personal CG film project Nommo: New Stories of Ra! It is an Orisha or Jinn (two different African naming conventions for similar kinds of ethereal creatures.) This will be one of the young watchers observing and recording a critical battle with implications for all the known and unknown galaxies. ]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 16:46:40 +0000 http://imhotep397.cgsociety.org/gallery/604666

The WindCurrent Sekmet is a high speed heavy artillery ground roving ship. It's big (roughly 10 stories)and it was designed partly to blend common African animal motifs and and to integrate some SteamPunk motifs. This is a closer view of a ship for my Nommo: New Stories of Ra! personal film project.

I submitted this guy to my CG portfolio as part of a deep ocean scene for an in development personal project. I believe I may have described everything possible in the deep sea submission. One additional piece of info...one of the many themes of my Nommo: New Stories of Ra! is not to judge a book by it's cover. Thinking Beasts are very large,(roughly 40 stories high) but they are not evil and as their legendary name would suggest they aren't dumb either.

Hopefully, I've hit a horror nerve that puts the viewer in the position of the Cloud Soldier(the little guy). The sheer horror of being at such a disadvantage in that serene moment after the Thinking Beast has identified the interloper as no huge threat, but before the Beast actually begins pursuit.

A scene rendering test for a Cg story I'm developing. The Thinking Beast has been awakened...by a Cloud Soldier no less. More info on my Blog: http://www.nommothemovie.blogspot.com/ ]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 02:43:06 +0000
