Zbrush sketch I did today..

The Librarian

Hey, here is a quick Zsketch play about.

He is the Master Librarian, handling the informtion data flow of twenty planetary bodies and sixteen mother ships all from the central library on Planet Tesifop. How clever!



And the Master Librarians' youthful and eager Apprentice, showing great mental power, practically exceeding the masters capabilities at this early age. Took the above zsketch and sculpted from it..

Update time

Hey , Thought Id post a quick update.

Im currently busy putting finishing touches to my new portfolio and website susurrusart.com that will showcase a set of 'Finished and Polished' images and a higher level of quality in my work. Something I've wanted to achieve for some time now.

Now that the summer days are drawing to a close and my batteries are fully charged, Im going to be working hard to build on my client base and adding images to my professional portfolio.

I am actively looking for projects to work on at the moment , specifically Freelance, but I am open to relocation for the right role and location.

other news..

- Zbrush 3.5 has been released, Im enjoying it so much. Stunning program. Ill be uploading some Sculpts, Zsketch, Paintstop sessions and other experiments to this blog at the end of the week.


- Im saturated with Vitamin D .. Cheers Sun and salmon.

Thanks for stopping by and check back soon for more artwork -

IO update

Little sketch over my base mesh. More to come.

Quick screengrab update, slowly adding details..

io construction begins

DWIV - io update - working out the details!

Hi, so I have here a little update.

I've been thinking a lot about the back story to my character.
Its vital to think about as it really pushes your idea and concept much further.

I'm writing a final story but its taking me time to word things so they are correct and clear... and so it doesn't take up too many words so I can fit it on the final text sheet..(my English is really bad, and I was born in the UK!! ha ha)

I want to have a machine/organism hybrid, and I've chosen a lizard/dinosaur/dragon-esque alien species.. I am unsure if this falls into scout or cyborg classes, and I guess I need some of your opinions and clarification. What do you think? It is animal-esque, and definatly could pass for a scout, but it IMHO could pass for a cyborg.. any ideas?

Encountered on a distant planet while the machines quickly spread out across the vast icey debris of deep space full of complex networks of habitable planets, sucking dry and experimenting with the vast multitude of different evolutionary stems of creation out there. The original species..The Excision (might change this name) had much natural ability to manoeuvre at great speeds, pushing physical and mental thresholds more then any other species encountered by the machine core.

The machines have replaced much of the original species musculature, bone structure, feet, tail have been removed or replaced or enriched with the highest technology available to the ai_core.

This unit build has been dubbed the [io] - Infiltration organism –

Designed and built by a rogue ai faction within the machine central core.
The basic io units pure purpose is to scout and infiltrate norm head quarters/cities and gather information, assassination or act as anti matter [planet buster] bombs bringing down defence systems for main assault machines.

vproc[io] has all these capabilities, yet has additional routines to allow dimensional passage to the demon realm and certain upgrades and augmentations in armour and weapons to allow easy destruction of any demonic organism.

I still have much work to do on the remote drone and how it attaches to the io units back.

I really want to have the machine armour slightly translucent so you can see the original species underneath.. hints, subtle textures. The machine armour is clean, elegant, functional, and most importantly plastic-like in material.. The helmet will cover the entire face, but I will have an image with the visor retracted showing the head.. the skin fused with circuit like patterns, energy rippling under the surface. The eyes dead, vacant, maybe have tubes and clamps stopping the mouth being opened. I've got to do more concepts to work these details out..


so there, I shall continue and refine these ideas!

Until then

Back online!

The concept was entered into the DOMINANCE WAR IV 'War General' portrait 2D mini Competition

Hey, ive neglected my online presence over the last year, for no reason other than lazyness.

Its all about to change!

Ive set up a new website over at www.susurrusart.com

There is no artwork to see anywhere at the moment. Ive decided that my old work was really dated and did not represent my current abilities!

I am busy polishing a new set of pieces and busy creating new stuff for the Dominance War IV Competition. Both 2D and 3D art.

I do have a little concept i sketched out i wanna show, which i guess is the purpose of this blog!

I will dump all the random things i create here, but on my main website i will only put finished work. I guess i want to look professional and i dont want my art to work against me when it comes to getting a job!

Expect lots more updates from here on out, im on a mission!
