Well, I thought I'd just make a start. Very much a work in progress. Hair, suspenders, eyes are just place holder. Legs obviously not done. Everything else needs lots of work.

Creative Common / Johnny Alpha renders ..
12 August, 2010, 12:38:03 PM
Hi all.
I've lurked here for a while and thought it was about time I made a contribution.
The first comic I ever fell in love with was Starlord and I remember spending hours drawing pictures of Johnny, Wulf, Rojaws, Hammerstein and a load of other characters and they've stuck with me over the years and I revisit them occasionally.
I work for a company called Ark VFX. We do things like all those Cocopops/Rocks adverts, game trailers, World Cup adverts etc. so I get to use some great software. Occasionally I have the luxury of downtime between projects so I use it to learn new things, new techniques etc.. In one such period I came up with this bust of Johnny Alpha. (Its based on some of Carlos' sketches from about 1998.) It served its purpose and was archived off, unfinished, as paying work came in. But I found the renders the other day and thought they might be of some interest to other fans. So here they are.
They're about 2 or more years old now, modelled in Lightwave and Zbrush, rendered in Lightwave with some photoshopery. I'm planning on building a Durham Red full body sculpt if I can get a proper handle on the back of her costume (Scarlet Cantos style if anyone knows where I can find any good model sheets I'd be very grateful).
Cheers,
Pat
