Maya and Storyboarding Finals

Here's my Intro to Maya final! It's a study of the badass concept art by Ben Procter for Avatar. And also two still frames from my storyboarding animatic final from the previous post.

Photoshop Final

Just finished Term 1 and this was my Photoshop final - hooray!

Ride of the Rohirrim Animatic

This is one of the scenes from my storyboarding final! It's an animatic based on the Ride of the Rohirrim from Return of the King!

Texturing Final!

Submitted this as my texturing final! Models were supplied and we had to fix//unwrap/arrange/light etc

Recently wrapped up a series of covers for a fantasy series! Was super fun! Also, we're already wrapping up the first term at school so I've started a new blog just for Gnomon homework and dumped a bunch of recent stuff in it - tobygnomnoms.blogspot.com

Moving to LA!

Recently I was accepted to Gnomon which is uber exciting! So I'll be moving to LA next month. It's a dream come true and I'm super stoked! It also means I have to get my 3D modelling up to a not-crap standard! Been working on a Tyrael model. It's super rough geometry at this point.

Diablo 3 Fan Art Updates

Been super busy lately so haven't posted enough. It's good to have some fun art time again though!

These are updates to older posts but minus a few tweaks I've finished up the battle axe design I was working on a while ago. And also since a bunch of people have asked for it I've created an iPhone version of my Tyrael vs Hell Diablo 3 fan art which looks super shiny on the iPhone! :D

You can grab the wallpaper from here http://www.toastfx.com/wallpapers/tyrael_iPhone.jpg

Old Weapon Concept

Playing around. Was going for a similar effect to Diablo 3: Book of Cain. The axe wasn't quite finished but figured I'd post the experiment anyway

Halo and Iron Man

Here's some Iron Man and Halo fan art I've been working on recently :D

Needs More Spikes!

Here's the beginning of my effort to get a shiny matte painting portfolio put together. This is just a layout idea and I'll be adding textures, modeling in maya and projecting in nuke :D

Tyrael Versus Hell Continued...

I was digging the atmosphere in the Tyrael Versus Hell image so decided to try it from a bit of a different perspective. This image is from the same shot but at a different angle, looking up towards the army. It's very rough and early in the layout phase but I thought I'd share :)

Blizzcon 2011 Diablo 3 Fan Art

It's finally finished! This was my 3rd place winning entry in to the Blizzcon 2011 fan art contest. For wallpaper versions see below :)

Halo 4 Fan Art

Following along the fan art route...I'm such a massive Halo nerd. This was inspired by the recent animated concept art trailer for Halo 4 and the amazing work of Sparth.

Diablo 3 Fan Art Update

Hey guys! I've been working for ages on this and pixel pushing things in to place. It's tiring but I like where it's heading. I've done a bunch on Tyrael's armour, it wasn't really working before. Any suggestions are welcome :D

Diablo 3 Fan Art

I'm a massive fan of the whole heaven vs hell concept which is prevalent in Diablo. So this is a Diablo 3, cinematic-inspired fan art-esque WIP thing! :D

*Update* This image placed 3rd in the Blizzcon 2011 fan art contest - Hooray! Here's the final version
