Robot Pirate Captain Update #2

This is one fraction of the texture map that will be applied to the Pirate Captain from POD 003. The Texture was done by me, while the Modelling and UV Mapping Was done by Caspar Trenchard-Turner.

Robot Pirate Captain Update #1

Below is the original Concept art i had done for the Pirate Captain, along with the model sheet:

POD 003 - It's Da Bomb!

This is a Bomb design which will be featured in the POD 003 pilot show. It will be used by robotic space pirates to detonate a space station. I designed, modeled and textured the Bomb, including the happy bomb sticker! :)

POD Pirates Update: Harv 3D

This is the Developement of the character 'Harv', who is at this point intended to be used in the pilot show 'Pod 003'.










The above images are 3D models of the Character i made in Maya. The image below is the previously posted concept image of Harv, only with proposed colour. I used Reds and yellows as i felt the Robot had a very Soviet feel to it. This palette isn't final, and his texture may change.

Pod Interface Designs

These are some concept ideas for the computer interface on the escape pod from the pilot show of the same name.


This was the first piece i had done, an overtly complicated design although Punchdrunk did like the large eye in the middle.











This is the only piece i had done with the main character in it. The extendable arm was a piece of development from Desmond Walsh's idea.









This idea was developed through the previous ideas and looking at the space available within the 3D model of the Pod to use. Since the Pod will be fairly small and claustrophobic, the computer needed to be of a certain size.

Robot Space Pirates Phase 2

I'm trying to think why i have no work posted for this past month... and then i remember I've been working quite hard and forgot to post! Its been mostly work for Punchdrunk, including the Music Video SIF and Concept for POD 003. Here are some pencil sketches of Robot Space pirates that i have designed for POD:



The ideas for the characters 'Legs' and 'Clam' were originally green lit, though now sadly they aren't going to be used. 'Harv', Who is going to be used, is the combination of 'Hal' and another Robot Design done by Mr Dave Bates, as requested by Punchdrunk. 'Mart' is going through a design change as well, but his head will remain the same!

I will post final colour versions of the final Robots when they are ready! These images are copyrighted.

Robot Space Pirates V1 - 'Bones'

This is one of many Designs of a Robotic Space Pirate for a Pilot show of a black comedy called 'Pod'. I've christened him 'Bones'. I Designed a version without clothes so that i would be able to design clothing on top of the figure.



I liked this one so much i decided to colour it. I'm proud of the Skull and crossbones being used as part of the bodies frame, and the idea of a blown off eye representing an eyepatch.

Whether or not the design will be used remains to be seen.

Punchdrunk Hunters

This is an unfinished render from the Punchdrunk project i am currently involved in. It shows the models of the Hunters i made using Maya (Thanks to Dave for the Pic! He did the Texturing and most of the other work!)

Composited Earth Zoom and Rotation

This is an unfinished clip from a film i am helping to make. Don't ask me about the characters or the method of how they were shot into space, this was not my idea i was just doing what i was told! The first 3D clip was not done by me, i just composited the earth zoom and rotation, made the clouds and cameras. There are supposed to be twinkling stars in the background, but due to the quality of the upload they have disappeared... When i make my final compositing showreel i will upload it to a server so the quality will be better!

From what i can gather about this clip of the film, the four characters have arrived on an island which is in fact a Bum, which then proceeds to eject them via flatulance through the Earth's atmosphere and into space. Story and Concept Courtesy of the independant Comedy Film Company 'Punchdrunk'.
