While creating new ads for my current employer (USA Connect), I realized that I needed a caricature of Albert Einstein to help promote our Music Download Gift Card product line. So here’s what I created.

Castle Chamber. (c) 2013 Michael J. Barnes. Background for new illustration.
A new work in progress (WIP), this castle chamber is going to be the background for a new illustration I am currently working on. Everything here was created in Zbrush, then converted for use in Maya. Still needs a little more work, especially when it comes to the “flames.”
Needing to find new ways to attract clients, I decided to create and illustrate a heroic advertising campaign. Granted, this is not a new idea by a long shot. However, it is new for this type of product line. The idea was to develop cartoon heroes, heroins, villains, etc. who will prominently display the product. The “Superman”-like ad was the first I developed in this series. This campaign just hit this week, so it’s still too early to tell. But initial reports are showing that the campaign is receiving positive feedback.
Creature sketch.
I am working up some ideas for a new “fantasy” illustration. I’m not exactly sure where I am going with this yet. But here is a sketch of an alien creature. I know it’s an alien creature because it has four eyes. I have decided to call it a quadceratops. You can view more of my sketches in My Sketch Book.

The completed illustration featuring my “Grumpy” character overlooking his woodsy domain. This is a self-promotional fantasy piece. Hope you like it.

I completed texturing Grumpy’s bust late last night.
