Ship Street

There’s something about Tudor buildings I just love. The silly imbalance and top-heavy design of them always makes them look like they should fall over. I always imagine Ankh-Morpork would be full of them. The wizard staying at the Ship Street inn here is *obviously* up to no-good in his room..

Modelled and rendered completely in Maya, textures painted in photoshop. It pretty much started out as an experiment in repeatable 32bit displacement mapping that I was tinkering with (the castle) but then I kinda got carried away as a 3D doodle. Pretty happy with the result though.

The Bridge Inn

The Bridge Inn is somewhere I’d love to explore. It’s outside the West Gate of the town of Penaggon; A pub where Pirates and Wizards can drink in peace -safe in the knowledge that the city guard are close (but not too close for comfort..)

They also serve Newky Brown Ale!

Because I do mostly 3D imagery, I decided to try my hand at painting again (cut and pasted from 2003). This image was painted directly in photoshop, entirely from mind ( though I must confess, mostly as a ” doodle” .The perspective may be all wrong, but at least there’s not a straight line to be seen.)
