This is still a W.I.P., especially in regards to the lighting, but it gives an idea of things to come, hopefully.

I have yet to include the projects I helped out on at Framestore NY this Summer, such as a Geico gecko spot and EA Need For Speed spot. Thesis is all-consuming, I love it...

Huge, Huge Witch Test

Here's a really large (1080) render of the Witch with a bump map (in addition to the displacement). I need to dial down the reflectivity in her eyes, but this is a W.I.P. blog after all.

Bat Wing

One of the ingredients the Imp needs to find for the Witch's fouls concoction is a single "Wing Of Bat" -This ought to help him..

Some room W.I.P stuff

Wunderkammer (aka Cabinet of Curiosities)

If any of you soon-to-be-Juniors (or anybody who can handle it) wants to help out with some modeling, I can use pretty much anything that you see in the painting above (by Georg Hainz-1666, Oil on canvas, 115 x 93 cm
Kunsthalle, Hamburg).
If you can keep them lo-res and generate a normal map, that would be cool, otherwise, just have a blast in ZBrush, and I'll handle the map extraction. Just send .ZTLs (saved while at subdiv level 1) to jbakutis@hotmail.com.
For more information and reference, definitely check out these:
