Dr. Root, Overwatch and Hedgehog in 3D World

The May issue of 3DWorld magazine featured a full page on the Action Hero Contest! This is also the magazine I won a year subscription to. They are not cheap: $15.99 an issue!!! (but totally worth it. :)

New image from the Gnomon Gallery.....

This is the image that was on display at the Gnomon Gallery. There were quite a few people there and I got to see some old friends and meet some of my fellow contestants. The room was filled with gorgeous prints of heroes and villains from the contest. Offload Studios was there as well with several amazing 3D prints including a 10inch version of Dr. Root. I will post some images soon from the show.

Gnomon Gallery! This Saturday!

I was asked to submit a render of Dr. Root for the Gnomon Gallery Show in LA this Saturday and I was more than thrilled to participate. I've never had art in a gallery before, so this is a first for me.

The show will feature the entries of 23 artists from the Pixologic Action Hero Contest.

The art will be displayed in 2D and 3D prints and Offload Studios will be there promoting the 3D prints along with Axiotron promoting the Modbook. Can't wait!

Back to work!

I am back to being busy at work over at the newly founded Robot Entertainment. Stay tuned for new models and sketches over the next week.

Halo Wars in stores NOW!

Yes, I'm a bit behind with my blog, I know but hey, on Tuesday the 3rd, a really fun game came out for Xbox 360 called Halo Wars and I haven't wanted to do anything else but play it. Now even if you don't like RTS games and have not played them you should seriously consider picking it up because it is so much fun and so easy to play, you will be jacking wraiths and banshees with your Spartans in no time. My gamertag is cMOF if you want to kick someone's ass, cause I really suck. Also, if you want to see most of the art I did for the game, you can check it out here: http://www.chrismoffitt.com/halowars.html

Grand Prize Winner!

Well after 2 months of hard work and stress, I finally finished my entry for the Pixologic Action Hero Contest. After a week of the judges narrowing it down to 10 artists and a week of the community choosing their favorite, I somehow managed to come out on top. It was a great experience and a great honor to compete alongside so many talented artists and I can't express how thrilled I was to win. Now to see if I can get a 3D print of Dr. Root!

Pixologic Action Hero Contest!

I've decided to enter the Pixologic Action Hero Contest. The challenge is to make up your own hero or villain by drawing a concept, coming up with a back story and then modeling, texturing, posing and rendering the final from zbrush. The character I came up with is a villain called "Dr. Root" aka Dr. Kyle Rutmeyer. Attached is a couple progress images of the concept. I don't know if I'll finish but I at least started. To read the full back story and watch how this turns out, you can view my thread here: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=66374
