Lately I have been working on a one of my many side projects. Where I am combining scans with texture images. Trying to create an images that looks ragged or old-fashioned. An image that looks in the pass. It was important to me to create the images in to a small size. To give them a feeling of family photographs. Families or individuals that have been forgotten.

Steve Jubinville

I have been exploring a computer program called Zbrush. This program is based on digital sculpting and painting that has revolutionized the digital arts. This interface uses the most advanced tools, that allows Zbrush to sculpt up to a billion polygons. Designed around a principle of circularity, the menus in ZBrush work together in a non-linear and mode-free method. Giving the artist a new form to create 3D models and 2D images. One of the core functions of ZBrush is being able to provide artists the ability to create an environment that allows them the freedom of expression. An artist is only limited by there imagination

I also been exploring other artists who has worked there creative ideas in to realty. Steve Jubinville is just one of these artists. Graduated from the NAD Centre, Steve Jubinville is one of the new artists masters in digital sculpture and character modeling.
