I chose to redesign Eddie from the Guilty Gear series. For those who don't know, Zato was an assassin who acquired a shadow demon named Eddie. The demon Eddie gave him crazy powers in exchange for Zato's eyesight, and eventually killed Zato and possesses his dead body to this day. I've always loved playing as Eddie in the game and thought his unique nature would be lend well to a redesign. I was going to redesign Akuma, but this is a REDESIGN contest and we all know Akuma is already perfect.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've made some pretty massive changes to the character. The most obvious is that I've made Zato a woman. Eddie has always been flamboyant and I figured I might as well just embrace that. I also did away with Zato's clothes, in exchange for a living suit. In a very Venom-esque fashion I decided to play up the possessed aspect. I've also tried to give an even more menacing appearance to Eddie. I really want to drive home the fact that he is an evil body possessing demon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As for the final pose, I've chosen to go with Eddie's Cerberus..thingy. It is a move I use often and I have always thought it looked cool. I also feel it will make for a nice lush 3D sculptural form. I want to give each of the dog's heads a little personality. Enough jibba jabba, here are my concepts so far. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufLYB2tIO-Y1DTNY3i62UzeXkEI6Fm3Oe88GdQfu1FbppbvZrK-OPLpFzoZt_froDf6DDcOM4PO7pbQwfAutvvIM3yHCImzZ6Ur0ZwkMi-u3QeXMZYLX7A8_oFKc-dLyK-A4We1LBF2LE/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-04-17+at+4.47.58+AM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufLYB2tIO-Y1DTNY3i62UzeXkEI6Fm3Oe88GdQfu1FbppbvZrK-OPLpFzoZt_froDf6DDcOM4PO7pbQwfAutvvIM3yHCImzZ6Ur0ZwkMi-u3QeXMZYLX7A8_oFKc-dLyK-A4We1LBF2LE/s320/Screen+shot+2011-04-17+at+4.47.58+AM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596472755369383138" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The first concept that has since been scrapped completely.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTC4NkkW-2g4Xmvr3j1BomVSNv7RaXIAP-b0LgfZVTlzov_apVIoROtlpeLlg3PxqscZqxcwanbjzep-voHEuMPBGEw0gnaukf8zOJqkCyTy8XMJFw3T4soUrhzfVNESSV4s5OKX-SqNKt/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-04-17+at+4.47.46+AM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTC4NkkW-2g4Xmvr3j1BomVSNv7RaXIAP-b0LgfZVTlzov_apVIoROtlpeLlg3PxqscZqxcwanbjzep-voHEuMPBGEw0gnaukf8zOJqkCyTy8XMJFw3T4soUrhzfVNESSV4s5OKX-SqNKt/s320/Screen+shot+2011-04-17+at+4.47.46+AM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596472667615501282" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The current design. Still need to layout her shinguards. I had a hard time deciding what to do about her eyes. Zato is blind, and wears a blindfold in the game, but I knew there was something more I could do. So, I took her eyes out completely. Less IS more in this case.. literally! (harharhar) I think she looks much darker and creepier without them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLphUjC65znaMpvtkzbIp1rrEUE1zjVE0YQJ3UvUI6kkeKRfZBcyCJY4QP5xjpGxlerrXqwHBRxB2juG2Srrxctf4ZJ800CBYpzpnR14Bjyz4qbcKAc2LNeQ2L2E7p4w8-raNUQuY9rXv/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-04-17+at+4.47.33+AM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLphUjC65znaMpvtkzbIp1rrEUE1zjVE0YQJ3UvUI6kkeKRfZBcyCJY4QP5xjpGxlerrXqwHBRxB2juG2Srrxctf4ZJ800CBYpzpnR14Bjyz4qbcKAc2LNeQ2L2E7p4w8-raNUQuY9rXv/s320/Screen+shot+2011-04-17+at+4.47.33+AM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596472554077911650" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Concepts for the cerberus heads.

One of the forms he takes is a shark, so I referenced that for a little homage to another one of my favorite moves!

How exciting! In the mean time I've decided to keep the momentum going. I'll be doing digitally sculpted busts of celebs that I like. It's not the most imaginative exercise but its great for training my eye. I've started Michael Caine, who is a total bad ass, and would say the sculpt is about 50% done. I've spent about 8 hours on it so far, but I chumped out while sculpting the hair and started sculpting Toshiro Mifune instead haha.

Since the project I was boarding is a 3D animation, I decided that I would take a break from drawing and go ahead and build the " object " that had captured my attention. Since building it, it has spawned into it's own little side project. I'm delving into the design and functionality of the object a bit more, in hopes that it will make the final piece even stronger. I'm keeping the actually function of the piece under wraps, but here is a peek at what I've been up to in 2011. I would like to introduce you all to the Globe.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAMWMNG6R_Ms7qlIvIGi7sFCUVwuie3uqnLjFiA5QedoIPhc_QN60jtv3UFXVIJv9eKcl0AC_OIIO3XrtgkKkv7uh5InKvh1d2grPsNwq5h1l3LlErXd5MvZNaPQVv7-Pjao6KtnRX7B-S/s320/globe+w+logo.jpeg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560503621795399026" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALfLo_NCUNSctILmLULGLHSIWNyXGeM6qrypmNz_aH13gVQfP6Nn2akpsB5T7GEXoQB7wIUaAIP-hCSsTZWFGYJVo_i6TxFDOl1l8vf80kDCvAoiGfE4v5gDfRy-U_jouWqDI2Y-7OHLW/s320/test.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 216px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560503722712055506" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We are only 10 days into the new year and I'm already well underway on planning two full pieces and finishing up one short!
