This is a WIP of the model I’m creating in Zbrush for a Mermaid Piece. I’m taking a darker and modern approach to the mermaid myth.
This model is almost finished and I’ll start texturing it next.
I seem to be on this underwater theme at the moment. Here’s some quick iPad sketches of undersea beasties. I’m working on a bigger scale piece in 3D of a Mermaid which I’ll post soon but you can see a W.I.P. forum post here at cgSociety. More Soon!!
New Website, New Post, just add sharks!
Hello 2012 and Hello Everybody! I have a new website: andymonks.com and now have a new post of a Shark Sketch I did for a recent little competition I ran on my Facebook page (Hit ‘Like’ and you can subscribe and keep posted for the next competition to win a sketch).
This sketch inspired me after watching Deep Blue Sea again after a few years! If you like trashy shark movies, it’s worth a watch especially a scene with Samuel L Jackson, which I won’t say in case I spoil it.
This year had started with a bang. I have a tonne of work on and heaps of personal art I’ll be publishing in the blog in the next few weeks. Including my recent 3D sculpts in Zbrush….one of which I had prototyped in 3D which I’ll post soon, so stay tuned.
Thanks,
Andy
Merry Xmas

Happy Easter!
Hey All,
Well this is my first 3D piece in quite some time. I have fallen deeply and madly in love with Zbrush, where have you been all my life!
I did the base meshes in Maya low – rez, then I sent them into Zbrush for the detail modelling / texturing and then back to Maya where I laid them out. Final rendering was done with Mental Ray and then I did some final colour tweaking in Photoshop.
My daughter loves this ‘bunny wabbit wif a ticken on it head’. I hope you all do too!
And no doubt you’ll see some more 3D pieces from me soon!
Have a great Easter!
The Flame Dog
It’s been a little while! But I’m about to unleash it upon you!!
This is a recent character I did for FlameDog Records, it was heaps of fun to work on and Orlando from FlameDog is great to work with. More Soon!
Some of my assignments!
Hi All,
Been a bit quiet on the updates and I intend to rectify that! Had a load of work on and also been doing the self-taught Stephen Silver Character Design Course at Schoolism, check out Stephen’s Work on his blog. Schoolism has a stack of great courses, headed by Bobby Chui, a really inspiring artist and leader in the field. It’s an awesome course, I highly recommend it, really has been patching a lot of holes in my drawing and designing.
I thought I’d post up one of the assignments.
This was one where you drew this guy and then did 3 variations from memory as basis and pushed it in different directions (using strong shapes as the basis), I’m having a blast doing this stuff and the original photo has so much character.
Anyone who wants a caricature commissioned, give me a bell!
I’ll share some more of the assignments soon as well as some of the latest projects!
Here We Are!!!
Alright All!!!
Here’s the new andymonks.com, home to all my children’s illustration and cartoons. I’ll be sharing here about the books and characters I’m working on.
If your still looking for the funkier stuff, head to Trick Monkey. I will also be relauching this soon. so check back!
Alright I’m away now for a week but upon my return it shall be Blog Fury!!
In the meantime, follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
Here’s a Work in Progress painting I’m working on, been at it with this one, on and off for awhile.
