Daleks, the TARDIS
and Other Stuff.

I created the Malevilus for the amazing Vworp Vworp tribute to Doctor Who Weekly, in which was the brief was to create a monster which looked deliberately cheap, as if it might have been made on a Graham Williams budget. I had great fun working with the talented Mr Colin Brockhurst to hand this over to Dez Skinn to create the cover. We decided they blew the budget getting the fibreglass head made and then couldn't so much with the wings.

The design was planned as a costume, worn over a human figure, and the image above left show a supposed cross-section of the costume to illustrate where the actor's head goes and where the nose of the monster has to have transparent areas for him to see through. The head was done in Z Brush and the rest in Cinema 4D.

Having been asked to provide an outline render to be comosed into promotional artwork for a Big Finish audio in Doctor Who Magazine, I set about trying to create an Invasion Cyberman. I can't take all the credit for this, as my good friend Daz did the majority of the ground work in creating this difficult head and figure, and I then tweaked, aligned and refined the helmet until it was something close to what a Doctor Who fan would consider vaguely accurate. By far one of the most awkward shapes to get right was the face and it still requires some reworking.

Then into the world of properly organic shapes, and I took the opportunity to try my hand at a new piece of software called Z Brush. Simply, intuitive and very fun to use, I was able to create this Ice Warrior in a relatively short period of time. It's a model that would have been virutally impossible using standard modelling techniques in Cinema.
