Jetpack & Diamonds

Further exploring new vistas in 3D modeling. This is my first color rendition of Sh-Betty Boom(& Bop)-titled "Jetpack & Diamonds" set against a general galactic wallpaper. Simple enough for my intermediate experience; I hope be able to engage in utilizing more advanced rendering engines and learn more about lighting and shaders.

Mars Needs Women

Sh-Betty Boom's next frontier continues into virtual space!....



My 3D Concept art for Sh-Betty Boom & Bop - "Mars Needs Women" maquette.











I've currently put off finishing the base for now, while I'm in the process of juggling several digital sculpts, learning the various tools in ZBrush, Maya and Keyshot rendering. I'll post updates when I can - 
Stay T00ned!

Girl U Want

I may have missed the target for commemorating the anniversary of the first human space flight in connection to the release of this statue. Perhaps the Sh-Betty "Astronette" sculpture would have been the more appropriate theme for today's recognition. Nonetheless, I find it rather uncanny that after 4 years, I managed to finally complete the first paint master for this piece just the other day....






This Sh-Betty Boom resin statue titled "Planet-Z" is an original cast and paint master that is signed and numbered, stands 12" tall x 7" long x 4" deep. The second (original) variant is currently on my table. It will be for sale when completed :-) Stay tooned!

----*UPDATE*----

Sh-Betty Boom - Planet-Z_v#2 artist edition is now available!

Destination Unknown

Bits and Pieces

A continuation from my earlier post; You can see from the image above that the original sculpt has been cut apart, castings have been pulled from the waste mold and are ready for final tooling. The next phase will consist of hours (and hours) of sanding, detailing, fitting and pre-assembly for the final master...

With more projects than table space; I'm not really sure if this Sh-Betty statue will result in a production run or a signed and numbered limited edition...

Through Being Cool - Time Out For Fun

Current work in progress shots for the next Sh-Betty Boom™ character maquette_8.2.10

Seems like it's been light years since I last posted an entry......

Although continuing production of earlier works that were previously blogged is still underway - I decided to spend a little creative time with Sh-Betty™ to explore her next adventure in the maquette realm.

Sculpted in proprietary wax.

As usual; the sculpt was unplanned and is currently an untitled work in progress. (You can pretty much bet that it will have some classic punk/new wave connotation in the end)

Besides some necessary adjustments, detail and fine "tooning" that need to be addressed in the sculpt, there are also a few elements missing in the images. Some of these have been sculpted and will be molded,cast then added separately(i.e): Sh-Betty's signature "WUWI" shoulder flare, cosmic hair coil, "S" hip swag.....

...and yeah,... I think we might be able to squeeze Bop in there, somewhere, along for the ride... on (or off) the cosmic Vespa.

Sh-Betty Boom™ - "Utter Space"

This is the second of several Sh-Betty statuettes that are in the sculptural design and tooling stages.

These are conceptual sculpted elements currently being considered for this collectible "diorama".

Sh-Betty Boom™ & Bop - "planet Z" statuette

The studio shelves have been full of unfinished pieces for a while. I figured since I'm waiting for feedback from my current client, I'd post my first entry with a preview of one of several (WIP)Sh-Betty Boom™ statuettes.
The cast resin mock-ups (pictured above) are in the master tooling and finishing stages. I hope to have a preview of the first painted master in a couple of months.
