The Steam pump mechanic

Posted by albron on November 10, 2011

Hello everyone !!

First of all, sorry for the time during each post but I still have a lot of work besides my Albron work…

But I try to advance as much as I can and I managed to work on one new image. I know that it won’t be possible to make this for a calendar because we’re already in November… And the calendar should be finished by now if I wanted a release for the end of the year…

But it’s always a new image done. I will change few things in the image, like the jeans he is wearing. I’m going to change the sculpt and give him more roughness and dynamism.

I wonder if I I’m notgoing to do other images with this character.

Tell me what you think of him and of the image !!

I hope you’ll like it !

Take a good care of yourself !!

Alex.

A new gallery : Blender work

Posted by albron on August 17, 2011

Hello guys,

I just created a new gallery with all the latest works done with Zbrush and Blender.

You can see all the process of creation, from the sculpt to some final renders.

You’ll see also few exclusive images that I didn’t post for now : Some researshs for new characters and the image that appears at back of the blog.

I will post some more there.

And I’m working on the new images… Jeans involved so I’m sculpting one : Here’s just a little preview. I started yesterday so it’s far from being finished…

The swimmer – Preview

Posted by albron on August 14, 2011

Ta daaaahh !!

I’m so happy ! I just finished the first image for the calendar !

As it’s going to be sold (just have to figure out how…), I put some copyright on it… I hope you’ll understand.

I can’t put a higher resolution of it… Otherwise, there will be no one to buy it in the end…

Anyway, as you can see, I changed completely the set. The previous one doesn’t seem to exist for real.

Here, I used some pictures of hollywood villas and cool swimming pool to create this set. The result is more in the spirit of the character… And more into what I want to do.

Don’t hesitate to tell me what you think… I know, you’re used to see higher res of pictures on my blog but I’m sure you’ll understand that choice.

I hope you’ll like the image. The calendar image will only be the main one. The close-up is just for you, to have a better view of his face.

Alex (really happy with the water rendering !!)

Swimming pool (WIP)

Posted by albron on August 12, 2011

Hello, a new post, in two days…

Well, it’s just a preview of the set for the swimmer… So no muscle for this time…

A classy swimming pool.

Just to tell you that things are advancing.

Calendar on the way…

Posted by albron on August 11, 2011

Hello guys,

Well, holidays are over… humm; for me, I mean… Even if I worked during July and June… But anyway, clients are back and I’ll have less free time.

Anyway, I want to advance on the calendar. I thought it would be a fun idea to remake some of my drawings in 3D: A kind of transition from my earlier work to what I’m really doing today.

So, here is just a tease of the first picture. If you go in the drawing gallery, I guess it won’t be hard for you to recognise which one it will be !!

And don’t hesitate to tell me what you think !!

Take care !

Alex

PS : One thing I will probably change from this render is the pubic hairs. I think he will be completely hairless…

PS2 : To celebrate the thrid anniversary of the blog, I decided to change the design of it. Hope you’ll like it !

Curtis

Hello everyone,

Well, I continue to create the guys that will appear in the calendar.

This is a new one. I hope you’ll like him. Don’t hesitate to tell me what you think.

The next one will be an asian (not asiatic, thanks Michael ) guy, and then a bear style guy…

But for now, Curtis !! I think he will stay bald like this. I’ll made another black guy, more jamaican style, with hair and beard, later.

Don’t hesitate to tell me what you think.

Kurt again

Posted by albron on July 13, 2011

The hair are done !!

I hesitated between the hair of Alcide from True Blood and the previous haircut of Kurt, but I wanted to stick with my first idea…

And there was some technical problems with that style of haircut that I wanted to resolve.

So it’s finished and I’m quite happy with that !

I redid the tatoo too, and made the slightly hairy chest…

I’ve done tests for more hairy chest but it doesn’t fit to this character…

Anyway, here’s a render.

As I told you the idea is to make a calendar for the end of the year… So there’s a lot of work to do…

Alex

PS : This is not an image for the calendar… Just a render of the character. The calendar’s image will be more sofisticated (with accessories and clothes (or not ) )

Kurt 2.0

Posted by albron on July 12, 2011

Hello everyone !!!

I’m back from holidays !! It was so great to go far from Paris and from work for two weeks…

I came back last week and had to finish some works for my main client. But now, he has left for holidays and I’m a little more free to work on my Albron projects !

I wanted to createa new character from the basis that Peter is.

So I rescuplted the face and remade the texture of his face, using the same photo reference that I used for Kurt. (Using the photographs I took of my neighbourg)

So here is Kurt 2.0 !! I think he will have a haircut like Alcide in True Blood. And with a hairy chest… And the same tatoo that Kurt washaving on his shoulder… :-)

This is just a sneak peak !! More to come real soon, maybe tomorrow !!
