“Can we just go home? There’s nothing here, only sand and rocks and…sand and rocks and…”

“Shush! Just follow up. I can smell them… Come on, come on little human, come out and play!”

“It’s getting late and my favorite show is about to start… Let’s go home… I don’t want to miss my favorite show…”

“WOULD YOU CUT IT?! Stupid fool! Because of you, we have never caught a human! Don’t you get it ?! If we can catch a human, just ONE, we will be rich! And then you can buy the whole DVD collection of your show! So be quiet and follow! Wait, do you hear anything?”

“No…”

“Never mind. That way, let’s go!”

(Off screen voice, Tiffany.)

Today’s probably not my best day. When we were passing the Deadwind Valley, two Kun scouts showed up from nowhere. Those dirty bastards invaded our planet, capture the earthlings and sell us to other Patron races as slaves. I pulled Knuckle back behind a pile of rocks before they spot us. Knuckle wanted to take the scouts out. I gave him a sign to halt.

We can take them alright. The uplifted Neo-chimps are extremely fast in action, giving the Kun huge headache in short-range combat. But one of earthling’s secret underground shelters is only a mile away from here. Open fire would attracts more enemies and put the shelter in danger. I can not take that risk.

Hiding in the shadows we wait, silently.


Uplifted Universe is my third CG challenge and surely the most difficult one. Two month duration is pretty tight, specially when you have two jobs, Monday to Friday finish at 10 pm. Special thank goes to Donglu Yu, Who kept me going from day one. You can check the final of her challenge work here .

Here are the characters in Lambert Shading:

Flower messenger is my 5th finished work, 3rd after school. She is based on Liu Yifei, a young chinese actress. I started the project sometime around the end of October of 2006, spent five months on it. I used Xsi for modeling, Photoshop for texturing and final correction.

Here I would like to thank everyone who supported me and corrected me during the working progress period. Specially thank all those who gave me great strength to help me finished the work.

Here's the WIP link if you would like to check it out.

The Monkey King project started right after the Journey Begins challenge. The monkey king is perhaps the most famous and beloved fictional character in all of classical Chinese literature and the main character in Journey to the West. A magician, priest, ruler, sage, and warrior in the shape of a monkey.

I'm submitting this model to character modeling book2, meanwhile shares the final work with all of you. Comments are most welcome. Thanks.]]> Sun, 20 Aug 2006 20:31:52 +0000 http://jackzhang.cgsociety.org/gallery/378573

This work was created for the 3D entry of the 13th challenge of cgtalk, the Journey begins. The work took me 2 month and 1 month of research. All charactors were create and render in softimage xsi, retouched after in photoshop. The background were matte painted in photoshop.

The Little Run-away Princess is the 4th of my completed images, and currently the best complete work of mine. I'm very glad that I got my name on the list of honourable mentions, and hope you all enjoy it.

p.s: Congra to all winners.

This is my first finished charactor model for my modelling/texturing reel. I was making Pallantides Of The Black Dragonsa month ago then had hd crash and lost all the data that I had. After putting myself together I decide to do Nancy. The idea is from the movie, Sin city. I was impressed by the whole movie specially the scene which hartigan found nancy in the bar when she was doing table dance in a cowboy costume.I try to create the motion of the girl, not really focus on making her as Jessica alba. Here's the final render of the model, hope you folks enjoy it and any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is my master & servant entry, so is my first complet still image work. Pretty sure that i can't win anything in the contest since one of the requirement says one of the charactor has to be 100% human which none of them are in my work.
anyway, the story within the image is not that hard to either imagine or understand. The machines no longer needs human as their creator. The highly designed AI allow them to maintain their "lives" with machine themselves. The dominant status of human race no longer exsits eventually, in face i doubt if man-kind still walk on the planet at that time. The ones once playing god, now elimitated by god.
well. hope you guys like it~ enjoy~
