Hello Everyone!

This is my digital sculpture of the Three Graces. This model is of a sculpture originally done by Antonio Canova around 1817. The original statue had a pillar in the rear but I omitted it because this will be on my demo reel and it obstructed the view of two of the figures on turn-arounds.

I hope you all enjoy my art as much as I have enjoyed making it. Thank you for looking and as always, comments and critiques are welcome.]]> Fri, 10 Aug 2007 02:38:33 +0000 http://pister.cgsociety.org/gallery/518638

Hello All!

This is my model of a 1999 VW New Beetle. I modeled textured and lit it in Maya 8.5. The back ground is a Matte painting I created in photoshop. As for the logos on the Bug, they are there just to show a little bit about me. The 78 if the year of my birth, Rammstien because they rock, Full Sail because that is where I go to school, and the rest are the equipment I used to make this image. I put a lot of me in it and I hope you like it!]]> Tue, 15 May 2007 11:09:59 +0000 http://pister.cgsociety.org/gallery/494010

It is my chance to say how I think that political correctness is a joke and it does more harm than good. People should not have to have lables to be respected. We are all humans nothing else.

This is my attempt to capture the essence of Audrey Hepburn entitled "Images of Audrey." I was going for a photo shoot type appearance and trying to capture her free spirit. These are untouched Maya Software renders. I compiled them in Photoshop and added the black border to make it more professional looking. Photoshop was used to make the skin textures. I would love any critiques, from good to bad to ugly. I am only as good as my harshest critique so don't be gentile. Thank you for looking.]]> Fri, 02 Jun 2006 21:22:27 +0000 http://pister.cgsociety.org/gallery/351901
