About the artist

My entire life I have had two great passions: Video Games and Art. My goal is to meld both of these passions into a career. I use Maya, Mudbox, Photoshop, Gimp and Crazybump. I learn best from experience and getting feedback/constructive criticism from my peers. That's why I am able to use these tools and make these works of art without any formal training. When I was a teenager I discovered the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game and I was hooked. I liked reading about the fictional races and strategies, but most of all I loved painting the miniatures. It helped me learn a great deal about color theory, highlighting, shading and sculpting. While I no longer have time to paint miniatures, I feel that it helps me today with my 3d modeling and painting. I have a great eye for proportion and detail. I am happiest when I am close to my art, working on intricate details, blasting heavy metal music through my head-phones. I also thoroughly enjoy playing guitar, volleyball with my brother, video games with my friends, watching movies with my wife, and playing disc golf with my father.

Eldar Guardian - UT40k (Unreal Engine 2)

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

After I finished the Ravener I was contacted by GeoDav; the leader of the Unreal Tournament 40,000: The Chosen mod (aka UT40k). He liked my work and wanted me to do some models for his project. As a big fan of Warhammer 40,000 I couldn't resist, so I did this Eldar Guardian model for him.

The model was created in Maya and the texture was painted in Photoshop. It has 4602 triangles and uses a 1024x1024 texture.

Based on Games Workshop's plastic model.
