I make this little joke for illustrate a real behavior. When a giant hornet explorer locates a bee colony, the bees jump and envelope his body. Next, they use his flight muscles for generate a lot of heat and kill the invader, because they can resist higher temperatures than hornet.

I make this image for a cover page in MUY INTERESANTE spanish magazine. The article was about compulsive and unnecessary purchases. First I modeled the market trolley (I dont find any good model in commercial sites and decided to make my own: 6 hours work) and next adapt my neanderthal model, morphing his head for a cromagnon look and add a polylines layer for sasquatch hair. Fibally model a flintstones style cloth and render with a hdri image in ambience lights. Some little adjusts for shados in photoshop and voila!]]> Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:30:16 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/819609

The last image of dinosex series. I use for this scene the Dinoraul Pentaceratops, because this model has two texture styles, and I want to make a dimorphic mate. I imported the mesh to Lightwave, next I modified the head for make different hornes style for male and female and finally I make the sex position (I decided to use a mammal style, similar to rhinos or elephants). For render, I loaded the background image in layout for ambience light. Thus, the integration was easier.

In photoshop, I modified the background picture for erase the grass and replace it by ferns (no grass in cretacic, you know)

When one of my friends see the image, she says "you know, he puts will and impetus, but by the expression of her, he fails the technique".]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:09:30 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/819208

Pelecanimimus was a little ornithomimid, size similar to a crane. Thus, I decided to use a pure bird-style copulation pose. During mating, male crane mount over female back, and balance his body with the wings. My male dino hasn't wings, but uses his arms to maintain itself. Female bend back his neck for caress, since cranes and storcks do

This is the fourth version I make of my old pelecanimimus mesh, with a little arms adjust and a feathered layer in back. I use two different colour patterns, for sex dimorphism (usually, female birdas have mimic colours, and male birds have a showy livery) ]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:10:31 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/818997

The client wants a image with sauroposeidon (the bigger brachisaur) making water sex, for explain that floating in the water can helps to avoid the weight problem. Personally I think this is a bad idea, because the male needs a strongpoint for elevate his body.

Maybe the answer is only a question of sexual sizes: if female sauropods are bigger than males, the weight problem isn't a big problem.

The sauroposeidon mesh is a lightwave morphed version of expressionimage camarasaur, a model cheap and useful. For scene, I compound a background picture with a 3d water displacement mesh.

I also needed to make four images about dino sexual behaviors and decided to start with the rex couple I maked in my love scene.

I suposse the theropod used bird style positions for copulate, but T-rex have the problem of weight. I think this can be a reasonable option: female lie on his abdomen and male is squat down. Thus, the male's weight is mainly suportted by the same male, counterbalancing head and tail.

As usual, lightwave scene and render]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:20:14 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/818477

I make this cover image for Focus, Poland edition. I use the magnificent 3DCat T-rex model, adding a feather layer with sasquatch. Render in Lightwave and a little postwork in photoshop for adjust lights and shadows.

Ahhhh, what a wonderfull autumn (cretaceous) day!. Love is in the air, and the rex feels how his blood boils in his heart! (you know, they are warm-blooded beasts)]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:34:12 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/817446

This is the last image I make for "unbuild architecture" article (Muy Interesante magazine). Leonardo da Vinci draw some sketchs about a interesting urabn project: the perfect city. You can see some of his ideas: channels for transport, tunnels and underground channels for common people (high society people walk the higher levels), sloped to center strrets for drain the rain water and the rubbish, porches�
Is a pure lightwave model I render in radiosity dome for avoid shadows. I make roman style buildings because Leonardo uses for its designs the Vitrubio rules.]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:53:25 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/745947

One of ideas for rebuild the Zero area of WTC was a very old project: the Antoni Gaudi Skyscraper. Really this is not a real project, because Gaudi only makes three or four sketches of this building and never work seriusly: the 3d images you can see in some websites are modern versions, and most of details are extrapolations of other Gaudi projects, mainly the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona; thus, I need to make my own version without accurate blueprints.
Personally I think the effect of this rocket structure in the Skyline is very deffective: simply the idea don't work.]]> Wed, 25 Mar 2009 04:36:09 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/745618

In Madrid, in the Park of Buen Retiro, you can see one elegant S. XIX building, the Crystal Palace,of architect Ricardo velazquez. This same Ricardo Velazquez have a project for ruin the landscape: a monster sphere of 250 m radius over a 100 m trunk, all in Steel, for surpass the Eiffel Tower. This project never was build, of course, and actually the Crystal Palace and his lake makes one of most relaxed scenaries of Madrid

I make this image and another three (the Paris-LeCorbusier project, the Gaudi Skyscraper and the Leonardo urban idea) for one article in Muy Interesante Spanish Magazine.

For make a good adjust, I load first a model of Crystal Palace I find in GoogleSketch (is the little yellow mesh in the wireframe view) ]]> Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:31:54 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/745324

At first XX, Le corbusier make a project for change the classic Paris image. He wants to destroy ALL buildings from Sena to Gaer de l'Est, and build a gigantic glass/metal/concrete city, with 18 200 m towers. Fortunatelly this stupid idea was rejected and actually we can say yes, we'll always have Paris

I use a classic Paris perspective and load the skyscrapers with the help of GoogleEarth (fortunatelly LeCorbusier make a detailed planing for the situation of this ugly idea)]]> Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:25:19 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/727226

And another Darwin image. I need to compound two darwin pictures and aplly colour to file. Next I select the chimp and load to image (I need to make some adjusts for hands-bear area)

Happy Darwin Year for all science lovers!]]> Sat, 24 Jan 2009 19:00:23 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/722747

This isn't a original idea. I see a similar composition in wired and make my own version. I add colour to picture and also make a little chage in darwin's face for load a soft smile. Next I add the elements: the background (I compound a forest image with a 3d render of a ship model in sea surface, for the beagle), The iguana, the little Woodpecker Finch, the orchids, the pin, the book and, finally, the Orangutan (I'm very proud of the selection Work I make with his fur)
Unfortunatelly, for the cover last image (I make this image for MUY UNTERESANTE spanish magazine) I need to change the orangutan for the little monkey, due to cover image size limits. It was a bad new, because all works OK if you have a orangutan (If you read the Terry Pratchet books, you know why I say this)

Happy Darwin year for all science lovers!]]> Sat, 24 Jan 2009 18:42:14 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/714072
