The Art of ROBJOB

:: ASTRAL BOY - PROJECT

2011-07-03T07:49:00.000-07:00

It was great to develop these concepts, I learned a lot from this project. Sometimes, we strengthen ourselves in areas we wouldn’t imagine. Working with deadline when your routine is not that flexible can be very complicate. Fortunately, I learned how to manage my time better and problem solving. The outcome was a much better and flexible design for the project. The concept and studies worked more efficiently. The characters matched the real actors in the footage, and having feedback from different professionals is always an opportunity to learn something new.

Dealing with the responsible 3D artist - Blake Tomlinson, supplying him with model sheets, and giving feedback on the modelling process was really exciting. Moreover, coming up with animated story boards and presenting them to the directors was a good experience as well. Also, his project gave me the possibility to understand how my ideas for storyboard and colours may influence the audio people.

All digital, it was fun to come up with these concepts for a local production studio in WA.

Some characters studies for a friend’s 3D animation project.

These are some sketches I made 3 weeks ago on my last
Life Drawing Class.

:: CARTOON OLD MAN

2010-09-16T06:14:00.000-07:00

I started this cartoon head just to play around with Z-brush. The initial idea was start something from a cube. I got to fix some things up, but for a fast test I kind like it. I’ll post the update soon.

:: HEAD #W.I.P#

2010-09-16T06:01:00.000-07:00

I’ve modelled this head in Maya and exported it as OBJ to Z-brush. That’s how it looks like when I increase the subdivision. The idea is to take the head to another level. I’ll really try to push this model by deforming, adding details or just using it as a base for something completely different...who knows what’s going to happen. Soon I’ll post the outcome.

:: CYCLOPS

2010-09-16T05:48:00.000-07:00

I’ve been studying some 2D digital paint techniques, so I decided to apply them on a common subject, a Cyclops. Although I could have got crazier on the Cyclops design, I just wanted to get more focus on the technical aspect (execution) of the concept. I started from scratch in Photoshop, no references were used. I used a Grey scale pallet to block out the shapes and a colour pallet to add mood, colour and a little bit of details. The whole process happened pretty fast and I feel I’m speeding up my concepts and enhancing my skills.

:: SKULL

2009-11-15T20:16:00.000-08:00

This is a Z-Brush test I made just to get the feeling of the tool.

Not too bad for the first attempt. Now that I understand the brushes better I'll be trying new stuffs.

:: GOBLIN - Concept Art #2

2009-11-03T23:57:00.000-08:00

These Goblins are ideas for a personal project.
I and my friend Blake Tomlinson (Zandoid)
decided to go through differents designs until
we find out which one best matches
the mood we are after.

:: ET - 2D Animation

2009-10-09T10:53:00.000-07:00

In this very enjoyable personal project, I could develop the character's design, scenario, and exercise some animation as well. Although, I've used After Effects, this is a 2D Flash animation. I mean, the ideia and design match it's style. I was having some problems to export it to flash, a sort of bug is goin on... Therefore, I've decided to use other application. Key frames and betweens were made on paper, line work made in Adobe illustrator and exported as frame to After Effects.

This work in progress didn't take too long to be modeled, the purpose is just to practice modeling and get focus on topology.

In my oponion markers still the best tool ever to represent an ideia quickly.

Tools: Markers and paper

:: TAFE's Poster

2009-04-02T14:21:00.000-07:00

This poster was developed to advertise an event at TAFE.

I created the idea and the entire design as well.

Softwares: Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator.

:: Digital Story board

This one was for my classmate Avy,
everything took me about 4 hours.

All digital.

Software: Photoshop

:: First 3D High Poly

2009-04-02T13:31:00.000-07:00

That was my first 3D High Poly model, still a work in progress, but rigging is done, and I've started the textures. This character particulary was enjoyable, because I could go through the whole anatomy in 3D, and it is just a such good practice. Also, you don't have a nude model to make always, so I just enjoyed it.

Software: Maya

:: 3D modeling - RIKO

2009-04-02T12:55:00.000-07:00

I really enjoy creating characters, by drawing or modeling them, I just love it!!! This one is RIKO, one of the characters created for our group assignment at SAE. The first attempt was made by Adam Roestenburg, I made the second one which is the model showed above.

Doing the concept and the model was pretty enjoyable,

Hopefully I'll do many more... ;)

Software: Maya

:: Matte Painting

2009-04-02T11:57:00.000-07:00

Matte painting made from many different images.
The idea was to create a place where the viewer
could ask "What's happened here?!?"

Clic here to see the compositing result,
using Maya and after effects. You may have a HD button to clic
on and see with a better quality.

Softwares:
Photoshop (matte painting), Maya (dynamics, spaceship),
and after effects (compositing).

:: Character Concept Art

2009-04-02T10:52:00.000-07:00

This character was developed for my 3D animation group assignment at SAE (Perth).

Below you can see the step by step.

Tools: Pencil and Photoshop.

A short making of about the main character,

going trough the painting process,

and a couple of test colours from many

others made at the time.

Hey guys,

Sorry about the delay to post something new, I've been very busy, but guess what?! I got my first animation done!!! Considering that's my first real animation I think it's good. That's for my assignment at school. The project requires a character to interact with an object for ten seconds. The result you can see below.

I have to thank Blake Tomlinson (Zandoid), my mate, he's been helping me a lot!!!

tks mate;).

:: Getting started The Art of ROB JOB's blog.

2008-12-19T20:39:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone,

this is my blog where I'll post most of my sketches, studies, 2d, and 3D. I hope to get some good feedback from you guys about my work.

People from differents parts of the world will access the blog, so would be good if the main language could be English, although my first language is Portuguese.

So, here we go!!! I hope you appreciate it, and hopefully you won't be wasting your time.

Last thing, forgive my English, I am still learning, possibly forever. ;)

Feel welcome,

RobJob.
