Having a little #moleskine sortout. I’m loving teaching so much and I love #johnmoores so I’m considering moving my little book library from my own studio to my uni office. I really need to simplify my life.

#speedsculpt #nomadsculpt I needed a bat head dood for a course chapter so… nomad sculpt and an episode of Monarch: Legacy of Monster and there we go. Why ZBrush doesn’t have live rendering I’ll never know.

I LOVE the way #gravitysketch allows me to use well established sub division tools but in an immersive environment. Those models are clean, scaled and printable if you do it right

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

#gravitysketch do an awesome job with beginner lessons and learning the tools. My course will cover all that but then focus on how I use it in industry and especially the sub d modeling tools for great geometry.

#quetzalcoatlus #WIP I’m thinking a full cliff edge of these guys could be a nice display. I’m learning so much about #pterasaur anatomy mostly from @mark_witton books

Next JW related critter! Working on a 3D print of the giant pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus — one of the largest flying animals to ever live.

Another massive print off to a good home @mollyHeadycarroll from #wacomeurope took her home to Germany after #motion_north last week. Let’s see if she pops up at more Wacom events over the summer! #drex

The best advice I’ve heard since covid. What an inspirational guy! @cyriak_h #wacomeurope #motion_north

How to you pack a 700mm Drex??? @motion_north #wacomeurope

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

Who doesn’t love wings! Two full plates full here!

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

I’ll be at #motion_north for two days now hanging around with my @wacomeurope friends. Plenty of kit to try out and possible get your hand on! I’m taking a few printed goodies to share with the right artists! Come say hi if you see me around.

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

I had to throw a creature in there of course! #gravitysketch

We are making this #gravitysketch course ‘academic’ friendly adding learning outcomes, lesson plans and a help with rubrics. A reflection of the work I’ve been doing in University in recent years. I’ve aimed it at students from level 3 - 6 but in reality it’s for anyone.

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

We’ve almost finished the new #gravitysketch course. It’s a beginners course and we have made a few changes from our previous courses.

Back from the spray booth (large cardboard box!) fully undercoated.

Made a nice wallpaper for the ipad.

#pterasaur concept progress

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

I don’t know why I find blender so hard to master. I seem to forget so much each time I don't touch it for a few months. I need a good rigging course for creatures if anyone can help me track a good one down?

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

A new avenue of creature design reaching over to the giant flying reptiles the #pterosaurs this one being my first stab at a #nyctosaurus
-
I need to do a ton of research here as the information is sparse and lots is inaccurate. Just acquired the @mark_witton Pterosaurs to help

[Glen Southern @SouthernGFX]

It’s ’take your Drex to work day!!’ My boy wants to drive which is utterly ridiculous. He’s only had three lessons!
