3d Miniatures
The first of many sculpts for Privateer Press.
Critics complained that the tail looks too thin to support the weight of the body. However, The good purveyors of "Warmachine" lore clearly directed me that the Iron Lich Overseer bodies will levitate and spin slowly while they are overseeing, so the tail stalk doesn't actually support the weight. Necrotech is some pimpass shit.

I guess I'll have to rig and animate to demonstrate.
- It's increasingly apparent that maya polygon tools are not good at creating symmetry at 120 degree angles on a round surface- keeps it interesting. The spine stalk was created using a motion trail, and an "animated snap shot". A very handy for not having to hand place all the parts, while keeping a consistent taper on a curved path.

Now in LA, seeking contract work.
January 2012
My time teaching has been a great experience. I always felt like I could talk about 3d all day, everyday- and now I have. In addition, I was able to work at night on remote freelance contracts. It was the best of both for a time, but the more projects I complete the more I feel like I have more to learn. It was time to head out to where the work is, and start freelancing fulltime.
The transplant to LA was a long process, but the operation was a success. I am now located near Santa Monica and Culver City where I can continue freelancing and taking onsite contracts.
Now available for contract work. Reed's resume Contact for availability.

Sodapop Miniatures
"Kisa and Scratch"
One of the more fun models I've had the opportunity to sculpt on from Soda Pop Miniatures from almost a year ago. In the past, I've said some cheesy quotes; like "Maya and Zbrush are like my right and left hands" This model however marks the day when I felt my workflow wax more heavy handed on the zbrush side. It's been more and more that direction ever since.
My friends at Sodapop sent the photos of the first Tiger print at 50mm scale. Unfortunately, the scantily clad rider proved too thin and frail for the riggers of casting and molding a high end miniature. Lesson learned, "1mm minimum wall thickness" is just for the 3d printer, consider the mold making procedure as well.
