Hello cgtalkers!
This is kind of promo illustration for my latest personal project called The Block. It's my cgchallenge Strange Behavior entry and I started to work on this piece with wannabe goal of short animation show. Original concept is about block of apartments where residents behave strangely on their daily routine. With strong inspiration in our real everyday life, I developed the characters as human caricatures. There is a destroyed perspective in the illustration, where you can see both frontal and side view. This just want to emphasize the strangeness of whole concept.
All is modeled, rigged and MR rendered in XSI 5.11 Fnd. UV setup and textures done in BodyPaint R3. Postproduced with AfterEffects 6.5 Std.
Your comments, suggestions, crits,... are very welcome. Thanks.

Feel free to check out this naive sneakpeek animation too:

Hey!

Since BodyPaint is new tool in my production "pipeline" I started to work on this character in order to practise XSI --> BodyPaint --> XSI workflow. I called him "Timo Mess, definitely not healthy living hardworker..." Subdivision modeling is done in XSI. Color, bump and alpha textures are created in BodyPaint. Shaded and 3k rendered in XSI with some extra procedural materials. As you can see, enviroment and bodywear are handpainted elements. Extra textures on them were added in PhotoPaint, final color correction was done in AfterEffects.
I hope you like it.
Comments and Critique are always welcome.

Book cover for Antology of sf&f stories. This was very fast project coz I had something like 10 hrs to create. So I decided to go with collage made of hand painted character, textures, curves and photos.

Entitled "Motion", this image done with acrylic on 100 x 100 canvas is kind of older sib of the "Still" one. They canīt exist separated. Nevertheless, this image disappeared after one exhibition.]]> Tue, 29 Aug 2006 10:33:57 +0000 http://jurajmolcak.cgsociety.org/gallery/398723

This image called "Still" is one of my traditional medium works which I truly love. Done with acrylic on 100 x 100 canvas.]]> Tue, 29 Aug 2006 10:23:21 +0000 http://jurajmolcak.cgsociety.org/gallery/378360

I will remember that day forever.
I will remember those loud monsters,
our forest full of flying rods, sharp and quiet.
Maybe I woke up too late.
I know it could have been different, I know it.
I will remember my breathless guardian.
They might come back...

These are characters from my image called "Leaving Leaf". You probably had a chance to see it around here already. If not you can check it out at http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=378360. I decided to present them separately to give them more space

This Image was made for CG Challenge - Spectacular. To follow this "spectacular" storyline my idea was very simple - one strong moment in one boy's life. Cartoonish look, colors and brightness of the image and atmospheric perspective are here to emphasize this friendly/lovely scene.]]> Tue, 21 Mar 2006 08:30:49 +0000 http://jurajmolcak.cgsociety.org/gallery/331371

I made this animation mostly as a part of my XSI learning steps. It has this nice oldschool feel to me now. Peter Kostelnik made his half with music.]]> Sat, 03 Feb 2007 18:57:24 +0000
