Nomes - evil gnomes

Ben Wood is currently doing a month worth of OZ characters (Oztober). He said to me today "You should do an Oztober pic!!". So, I did a quick search of all the characters in that world and decided to create these 'Nomes' thingy. Apparently they're evil and grey.. so here you go.. :) They can see in the dark pretty well, hence the glowing eyes (like a cat).


On second note, I've uploaded the Tiger sculpt turntable to Vimeo. Some of you might have seen this already, but I thought I should post this up just incase. 3D Sculpt was done by the awesome Paul Braddock. :)

Tiger! from Charles Santoso on Vimeo.


We're planning to do a 3D print and make this guy into a real figurine. :D

  8. They look kinda scary, which I like, because it reminds me the scaryness in Coraline.
