Back in 22/23 I worked across a myriad of characters and props, both modelling and surfacing, the highlight of which would have been creating the Last Black Panther in ep 4 It's a sad reflection of the state of the industry that the animation company responsible for this folded before it even aired.

I’ve been very much enjoying Common Side Effects, thought I’d have a stab at a quick model of Marshall. #commonsideeffects #blender #zbrush

This is a piece I wrote a while back, critiquing some of my early work in the industry, and talking about the technical limitations we faced as 3D artists in the year 2000. It was a struggle! www.artstation.com/blogs/mattcl...

ArtStation - How it started, how it's going....

A discussion about the limitations of tools in the 3d industry 20 years ago, and my own growth as an artist.

Earlier this year, I spent an otherwise boring afternoon trying to fix Ash's botched head effect in the original Alien. It almost worked, just don't look too close...👀

I made this prop for a thing last year, and it was practically invisible in the finished piece, so here it is center stage.

This years homemade Christmas tree bauble belongs in a museum.

Christmas tree going up soon, I always look forward to seeing this guy again...

'Chopper', from 2000ads Judge Dredd strip. This is based on Cam Kennedy's artwork in the 1985 'Midnight Surfer' story. Needs a bit of TLC to get it finished

Johnny Alpha based on the character from #2000ad. I remember spending ages on this pose, trying to push it into something really dynamic, but also aware that I'd probably gone too far. One of the first comments I got was something like "why are his legs broken?", and it ruined my day 😄

Another one from a while back, this was based on an @ianmcque.bsky.social sketch, sculpted in #zbrush.

This is a short film I made back in 2010 with my good buddy Ross Neil. It was originally a pitch for Coldplay music video, and they were onboard to begin with but ended up going a different route. I decided to go ahead and finish it, with a slight edit and new sound track youtu.be/YXhU1upWXbM

Another unfinished oldie, this is what I look like before coffee in the morning.

I made this last year with the intention of 3d printing her as an alternative fairy for the top of the Christmas tree, but ran out of time. Here I am wondering if I should try again... #zbrush #studioghibli #spiritedaway

I remember watching the repeats of the original Star Trek series as a young boy in the late 70's, and waiting until the end credits where you'd see a brief, tantalising glimpse of this guy, and it used to terrify me... but I liked it 😆

I have so many 'unfinished' models where the itch is scratched and I don't feel the need to carry on, or I think 'I'll come back to this' knowing full well I never will...😄

Been playing around with Brushstrokes in #blender, and generally having a lot of fun. The sculpt was done in #zbrush and based on an original sketch by @jensclaessens.bsky.social

This guy was loosely based on an early maquete for Jabba the Hutt, created by Phil Tippett for Return of the Jedi. Sculpted #zbrush
