The look of love

Another fun piece! Salud...

Ghosts' n Goblins

It feels like its been a long time since I posted new artwork, yeah I know its only been a week ha ha. Here is a new piece that I finished during this labor day weekend. I wanted to create a fun character with some edge. In my last post I created this knight and right away I thought I had to model this guy.

• 2.5 hours to model
• 2.5 hours to UV map it
• 2 hours in photoshop

 A great teacher once told me that our aesthetics comes from the things we loved as kids, it makes perfect sense and I think its true. Take Martin Scorsese as an example he loved gangster films as a kid,  Jhonny Knoxville loved Buster Keaton films. When I created this character I just thought to my self I want to make a interesting looking Knight. The more I got into it, I kept telling myself this Knight reminds me of someone Ive seen before.... (continued conversation at the bottom of this post)

And it hit me! My character reminds me of Ghosts' N Goblins Knight! I swear I didn't do this intentionally but look at it! Its pretty close. I freaking loved this game I couldn't get past the 4th level but still I loved that game! I can hear that song playing in my head now. 

Follow that dream guys, following the dream is like being with a hot chick way out of your league. You spend all your time wondering how you got it, instead of saying that you got it.
