I’m terribly sorry this took until the end of the week to get posted up, but setting these three characters up turned out to be very difficult. The new female character (who is clearly based on Cortana from the “Halo” video game franchise) took several days to texture and set up materials for. Those circuits… Good lord, they took forever to get right. But I am very pleased with how she turned out. Continue reading “Dossier 009: Into Ruin – Coming Soon”

Dark Rift “Resurrection” Cover Art Revealed
Here is the cover art for the first episode of Dark Rift, titled “Resurrection”. I know there’s no females or nudity in the cover, but you guys aren’t just reading my comics for the porn, right? Right? Hello? Guys?… (crickets chirping)
The character Kole and the planet behind him were both rendered in Octane. The stars are a photo of the Milky Way galaxy… the rest is Photoshop. I really enjoyed making this cover and I hope you like it as much as I do!
Commander Samuel Talbish
Talbish was Kole’s old commanding officer when he served in the United Planetary Alliance (U.P.A.). The two served together through some intense battles, both outer space and planetary, against the Volochians. They became good friends, and their bond grew even tighter after they both defected from the U.P.A. (for reasons that will eventually be revealed). If Kole had a best friend in the whole galaxy, it would be Talbish… despite not having seen him for several years.
Talbish works out of a remote facility on some frozen moon as a contraband dealer. He has several human, alien, and robot employees, one of them his own daughter Polly Talbish. He has a military-grade prosthetic arm and hand; an antiquated replacement limb bestowed on him after his first tour of duty when he was still very young and green. There have been remarkable advancements in the medical field of prosthetics since his injury decades ago that would Continue reading “Commander Samuel Talbish”
Kole’s Armor
Now that the store is finally live and we got rid of the initial hiccups, everything seems to be running pretty smoothly. So I’ll have time to make more frequent updates and show you what I’ve been working on.
I’ve been retexturing Kole’s armor set to be somewhat reminiscent of the N7 armor from Mass Effect. The retexture took a very long time, as there are so many little pieces. Not to mention, some of the parts can be seen on front and back (such as the shoulder guards), so they had two different textures.
The bump map still needs to be redone (the current bump map is the one included with the armor set) to reflect the chipped paint from the scratches I painted all over the suit, but otherwise it’s done. Redid the specularity and I think it is looking pretty good. Let me know what you think!
Oh, in case you are unaware, Kole will be the protagonist in my upcoming new comic Dark Rift.
