Star Wars!

In celebration of Episode VII, here is my Darth Vader helm I created for a Star Wars themed show several months ago at the Gallery Nucleus in downtown LA:

Venus the Fleshlette

My god! I just realized I never added pictures of Venus, one of the new fleshlettes from Monsterpalooza 2015 (now currently living with a customer...although she's not that kind of girl).

For those that love the fleshlettes, please enjoy:

Back to Zbrush!

I have been graciously invited by one Brian Jefcoat at Dreamworks Animation (modeling department) to participate in their monthly Zbrush challenges. This is a great way for us all to learn more about Zbrush and sharpen our skills. Here are some of my favorite entries over the last several months:

Challenge Theme: Free theme. Subject: The Pirate:

Challenge theme: Dynamic Pose. Subject: Vacationing Kaiju:

Challenge theme: hard surface/mechanical. Subject: The Tin Man:

Challenge theme: Star Wars. Subject: Admiral Ackbar

new updates coming soon!

It has been WAAAAAY too long since I have updated my blog. I am going to be updating here and on Paynesculptures.com very soon. More maquettes and digital work coming up! Most of my Fleshlettes these days are for comissions but soon there will be some brand new members of the Fleshlette family on the horizon. Stay tuned for more! In the meantime, here is the newest fleshlette:

Sasha - Profile

Here is an alternate angle on that young beauty we all love to hate: Sasha.

Sasha the Fleshlette

Sasha was always a looker, always popular with the cool kids in high school. Still, she was humble and kind, never full of herself. The girls wanted to be her and the boys wanted to be with her. Approx 7", Mixed media.

Fleshlette retrospective

Here is a Fleshlette© retrospective of everything fleshy thus far by Payne Sculptures:

Jacqueline the Fleshlette!

This is Jacqueline, she always aims to please. She'll do the book report for that hot guy that sits next to her Chemistry and she always offers to be the designated driver at parties. Someday a prince-charming will see past the veneer of her being an all-fingers Fleshlette mutation. But until that fateful day, she will always be a wistful dreamer.

Come see the new Fleshlette...in Australia

On Oct 31st I am honored to be part of an international group art show that will open at the Auguste Clown Gallery in Victoria Australia. If you are in Victoria and interested, please come and visit the newest member of the Fleshlette family, "Jacqueline". Pictures to follow after the opening!

Interview in 3D Creative Magazine!!!

What a wonderful surprise! 3D Creative magazine (an awesome digital concept art online magazine) reached out and interviewed me about sculpture, design ideas and Fleshlettes! It was such an honor to be asked, especially because they (a digital art publication) are working to expand their focus to include traditional artists.
