Last year Ballistic publishing invited me to be a part of ,”d’artiste Character Modeling 3.” The series has become a great resource of inspiration and teaching medium with the invited professionals sharing their particular work flows.    I was of course honored and worked on the project over the better part of 8 months.

I am proud to announce that, “d’artitse character Modeling 3,”  has gone into pre-sale. As an added incentive the first 500 copies sold will get the added bonus of a digital download of a couple of models used in the book. Click on the image above to find out more.

Last year Cesar was contracted by Bowen Designs to sculpt the evil DREADNAUGHT from the IRONMAN Marvel comic series.  These limited run busts have gone on sale. Be sure to check them out at Bowen Designs.

Here’s a few images of the sculpt.

At the end of 2008 Cesar was hired by ADI Studios to sculpt a Baby. He did so in the computer using ZBrush. The end result was ultimately printed out at the gigantic scale of 19.5 feet tall and mechanized. Unfortunately- as is the case in most of the things he does. I …am not able to show the sculpt as the contract prevents me from doing so. But I can post links to what has already been publicly posted. The end result which is on display at the China World EXPO in the Spain pavilion has by all accounts gotten allot of attention. It is… I believe now the largest animatronic baby ever constructed.

“I am proud of my involvement in the project and thank the wonderful people at ADI, they did a fantastic job!”

Continuing on with the Artist ToolBox, this month I was asked to review, Scott Spencer, Paul Gaboury and Eric Keller’s new book, “ZBrush Digital Sculpting human Anatomy.”

.

3D Creative Magazine caught up to Cesar last month for a sit down. The result has just released here.

I love art in general and love how art has no barriers. It doesn’t matter what your background or language. Art speaks to us all in a very primal and visceral way, our emotions. I was contacted by CGArt in China to do an interview. This was a great experience and I am very proud that my work has struck a cord in Asia.

Cesar has accepted a Senior Modeler position at Dr.D Studios in Sydney Australia. This is a dream come true for Cesar as he will get to work with one of the all time great Directors in cinematic history George Miller. If you don’t know who George is Shame on you. Seriously this man has brought us some all time classics like Mad Max, Babe, Happy Feet, Lorenzo’s Oil, Witches of Eastwick and of course what many deemed to be the best segment number 4 in the Twilight Zone movie. This is the one with the creature on the wing of the plane.

Cesar has added a review of Todd Debreceni’s book entitled,” Special Effect Makeup For Stage and Screen. This is a really wonderful book that goes way beyond just the title.
