Its nice to see a finished render of Rampage finally. The superhero girl looks pretty sweet too.
The program you used may be worth looking into. How’s the learning curve? Is it easy to pick up and start using?
Awesome stuff sir! 
I’m loving that girl! Great work on her. Good to see you are still working on Rampage. Looking forward to seeing him animated. Keep it up 
Wow! I bloody missed all the updates here!! Sorry man!
Props to you though! The girl, demo reel, and of course Rampage all look amazing!!!
XxDarkMessiahxX - Hey thanks man! I was using it in it’s beta phase - so it had quite a bit of bugs back then - which most I think have been fixed - but I loved that it was all inside of Photoshop -so no need for program hopping… but ya - it’s pretty easy to pick up.
FoxHound1984 - Thanks!
Captain Sensible - Thanks man! Yea - I should be handing the rig off to a couple of my friends who are animators and see what we can come up with. I also have a friend who is building a pretty wicked environment we may put him in… so looking forward to furthering the project myself! Might make a second character for him to interact with also…
dustbin1_uk - haha - thanks man! I appreciate the encouragement!
On a side note - I just found out the Superhero Girl was chosen as an Editor’s Pick at CGHUB.com - so that’s pretty cool.
Ok - I know I haven’t posted here in a while… but been pretty busy of late - just now getting a breather to catch up on the forums…
Here’s a model I’ve been working on in my spare time… originally started it for the comicon competition - but didn’t manage to finish in time since I ended up getting a contract wtih THQ around that same time. But that’s up now and I’m finishing him off now…
Anyways - here’s the zbrush sculpt… I’ll post up the game rez mesh later when it’s done.

Also - I’ve posted up a sculpting video here on my vimeo:
Cartoon Characters Speed Sculpts
I plan on posting more videos more frequently - maybe as a video blog of my personal sculpts… we’ll see what time allows I guess!
Best wishes for the Christmas season to you all!
Cheers!

and the Thing sculpt wow dude… the best one Ive seen so far

Oh man, that is awesome, I love the “4” carved into his chest.
Very well done, i think The thing is one of the most interesting character to do with zbrush. and you did it greatly!
I like the pants too, can’t stand to see more!
Hands down the best 3d Thing I’ve seen ever.
sick sculpting! I likey likey!
Superhero Girl and the Thing look good, as well as, everything else.
I like the Thing, i done a sketch of him a few years back, and it took me ages to draw in all the details, so my hats of to you for sculpting him.
Wow! How did you do the groves on his body?
Awesome stuff all the way.

Sorry it’s taken me so long… but been really busy… got a contract job at KAOS THQ last year working on HOMEFRONT - so that kinda stopped all my forum activity… then got busy again after that with the holidays, then freelance work, then family stuff… bla bla bla… anyways - I’m finally back to forum life… so I thought I’d post an update on some stuff I’ve finally gotten the chance to finish!

the thing looks awesome! What method did you use to sculpt the rockiness on his body?
really nice model!
i nevver liked the thing but your version is the best one, i’ve ever seen.
pure inspiration. Base on your experience, works, and establishment, i am surprise you are not on the top row yet.
