Ali Chenari CG Portfolio

I decided to post an arti­cle about Per­sian CG artists and their works and I decided to start with one of our friends and col­leagues, Ali Chenari, and give you a glimpse of some of his work on CGPort­fo­lio where you can see some of his char­ac­ters which are very unique.

Superhero Tutorial

Head over to CGSo­ci­ety to see a great mod­el­ing and shad­ing tuto­r­ial by Jeff Miller. Although the tuto­r­ial doesn’t get into all details it is still extremely edu­ca­tional and fun and shows us just how a pro­fes­sional like him works and pro­duces his works of art; and art it is! Just observe the level of atten­tion to detail and the artis­tic vision that has gone into this piece and you’ll under­stand why the tuto­r­ial is so sim­ple and easy to follow.

Blur Studio’s New Commercial

Blur Stu­dio, the cre­ators of great shorts such as “A Gentleman’s Duel” and “In the Rough” have recently com­pleted a ten-spot series of com­mer­cials for Pep­peridge Farm Gold­fish crack­ers via Young & Rubi­cam, NY.

Ghobad the Persian Warrior Archer

This is our lat­est Per­sian War­rior char­ac­ter in a series of four. Ghobad is the leader of the group and what he lacks in strength and brute force com­pared to the other war­riors he makes up for it using his cun­ning wits and his excel­lent marksmanship.

Dubai Character and Licensing Fair

I just got back from vis­it­ing the Dubai Char­ac­ter and Licens­ing fair and decided to post a mini-reportage of this fair and inform you of what’s hap­pen­ing here in a series of posts enti­tled “Dubai Char­ac­ter Fair” of which this is the first part.

The fair started on Tues­day 27^th of Octo­ber and goes on till the 29^th but next year the date will be moved by a month and it will start in Novem­ber. The orga­niz­ers decided, and rightly so, that the show was too adja­cent to other impor­tant shows like MIP­COM, which is one of the major events of the year.
