#FinnMcCool was a comic re-telling of the Irish #mythical character that didn't quite make it off the ground. Similar in feel to #slaine from the #2000AD. This is an early character study for concept purposes.

#nomadsculpt is a really quick and easy app to pick up and start playing. Just a few spheres with #earth texture maps and some scaled additive shaded spheres for atmosphere and you have a pretty realistic result on an #ipad. #vfx #space

I was so fortunate for Mr Harryhausen to receive an honorary degree at my graduation in 2002. I wrote to him to express how proud I was and he did me the pleasure of writing back.
