Personal Project

The Dead Deads are an eclectic and spacey grunge-rock band based in Nashville, TN. They have a mysterious sci-fi aesthetic that captured my imagination from the moment I discovered them; it also makes them really fun subjects for digital sculpture!

Created using Zbrush, Maya, Substance Painter, and Photoshop.

This sculpture is based on the album “Tell Your Girls It’s Alright” by the Nashville, Tennessee band The Dead Deads. I’m a friend and fan of the band, so I created a video advertisement they could use to promote the album. Created using Maya and Zbrush.

Personal Project

2017

When the night falls, and unsuspecting families drift off to sleep, The Toy Thief emerges from the shadows to hunt. Always curious, ever searching, he prowls soundlessly through your home in search of toys to add to his growing collection.

Like a shadow, he glides soundlessly up walls, down hallways, into your bedroom as you sleep. Locks and alarms can't keep him out. 

His body is a husk, an empty and hollow shell, kept alive by the malevolent spirit inhabiting it. Nearly every trace of his humanity is gone, but some part of him longs to get it back. And so, each night, he ventures out, eager to recapture some bit of what was taken from him so very long ago.
