ZARLAX the DESTROYER for WETA DEV. I got an email from my good friend over at Weta, Nicole Letlaw to do some promotional work for the new Weta DEV site. I've done a few projects with Weta and was really excited to jump on this because of the creative freedom. Nicole wanted me to design a character that represents what they can do and so I started sketching. Once I landed on something we liked, I started immediately sculpting in zbrush. It was quite a process, but I really wanted to create something that was completely resolved. The timing was good, I didn't have a lot going on with all the strikes, so it was great to have something to do with all of my creative energy. I had so much fun modeling this guy out and finding the character in the process. I really enjoy doing rough sketches so that I can refine the concept in 3-D.
