This image was 3D modeled in AC3D using the box modeling method. The textures were hand-painted (no photographs) in Corel Photopaint. The final image was rendered with Poser using image-based lighting.

If you haven’t seen it yet, stop on by and check out “Sculpty Earth”! It’s a 3D topographic model of the Earth in Second Life that’s big enough to walk around on top of. It also has live cloud tracking. Nifty, eh? Now your friends can stand with you and point at their house even if they live on the other side of the world.

For all the details, read the write-up at New World Notes.

Unlike most of my work, it does not have any 3D elements–I’m trying to improve my skills at drawing people, especially trouble-points like mouths and noses, so this is a purely a 2D work. For some real fun, watch the time-lapse video of the creation of this image. I really love UNDO. 🙂

This image is hybrid 2D\3D. The underlying female form is a 3D mesh, but the hair and other details were added later in 2D.
