Special thanks to my partner for being patient with this thing.Modeling SeshSparksArtifex2023-02-19 | ...WOTLK - Personal Character Tribute #2SparksArtifex2022-12-24 | I re-sculpted my character through a couple weeks which worked out to nearly a weeks worth of time just before my holidays started. Had a very limited time to complete the paint job but got it done right before all the social gatherings began. Paint job is all brush.
This time she stands 9 inches tall which allowed me to focus creating details where there were none. Really happy with how she turned out!AstralGods TeaserSparksArtifex2022-10-19 | A little look into a book I'm creating. It will be the Lore bible of everything to come.
This ones going back to my roots of drawing and being able to breathe life into something original. ETA isn't solid, this ones gonna take awhile as making an IP from ground zero is no joke especially the amount of details in the races planets animals you name it.
Stay tuned!WOTLK - Personal Character TributeSparksArtifex2022-08-29 | An all original sculpt of the T10 ICC Gear. I Created the base mesh in Maya then sculpted the individual parts in Zbrush. 3D printed with durable and flexible resin used for jewel crafting then painted her up.
1 week to create in 3D, 3 days to print, 2 days to paint. Sculpt stands at 5 inches including base.
Apologize for the camera quality, atm it's the best I got lol.Project Ağrı DağıSparksArtifex2022-06-17 | Was looking through my folders of old stuff. Sadly this is the only surviving video of it and is low res. Basically it was going to be a mirror of the thunder warriors but done in a different style. This was fun as I was drawing and writing instead of doing full blown CGI. The incredible voice actor bringing the work to life is Adam Ragnalson.

I don't wanna leave you hanging for something you've been looking forward to for so long.
Mind you this is 4 years premature so the quality is all over the place.Sathus Art - Sahewl Muctgar 3SparksArtifex2021-09-05 | To support the project visit patreon.com/markLsparkDrawing Sesh - Retro Blood 4SparksArtifex2021-04-24 | Drawing

There isn't much left here, and will be the last time I do one of these XD. Before I do though, it's nice to document them so that I can show what I've had.
I'll do a fantasy showcase in the future along with my other collections. I'll maybe wait till I get a better camera to show off the smaller details of certain specimens I have ;)Ancient Seabed - My Largest SculptureSparksArtifex2020-11-01 | Had a blast working on this piece! Though if I gave myself a month to work on this I could do more, but for 4 days worth of work, I think it turned out pretty well! If I had the time and resources, I'd make an entire table like this, with thousands of animals and plants inspired from the Cambrian and Ordovician...

Showcase of Part 1 and to honor artists that much of my work was inspired or influenced from as well as a dedication to oldhammer fans everywhere. This is not a 1:1 to part 1. The experience you will have with this is different from what you saw in the actual release.
Unfortunately, a lot of my work in Part 1 wasn't presented well as my PC was limited in its rendering capabilities. For this, it's a straight forward 4k re render for certain shots so some issues technical may persist.
This upload is by no means perfect, and learned that there are a lot of settings that need to be tuned to get a "smoother" flow. Working a lot of hours right now at my job so time is hard to find... This will have to do.
Hope you guys enjoy! There is footage not seen before so, good times.

Also included are other miniatures of my own design that I sculpted and printed as well.
Really happy with how she turned out. I'm not always painting these days so whenever I go up against a model i created and invested money into printing it can be a bit daunting XD.
A little fan project I've always wanted to do. Played Wow many years back and wanted to make a tribute to my character. Will have an updated video on the model when she is printed. Personal use only
