This is one of my latest project: a gigantopithecus (a giant prehistoric ape). It's a mix of Gorilla and a Orangutan.

New StrobFX Ladybug model on Turbosquid.

Here is the second Ladybug I am publishing on Turbosquid. This one is suitable for extreme close-ups.

The first one I did was originally for a car commercial for Cadillac and was only suitable to be seen from far. I improved that first version a bit adding fur and published it no Turbosquid a few years ago.

Then I did another Ladybug (a yellow one that was standing up) from scratch for a Youtube video paid by Marvel to promote the movie Antman, it was called Little Antman. I then started from that model to make the most realistic ladybug (red this time) that I could to sell on  Turbosquid. Since there are already many ladybugs on TS I wanted to make a very realistic and detailed one suitable for macro close-ups. I bought and learned to use Ornatrix with that model and loved it. I can't wait to make some fur animals now!

So here is the model. That version is not rigged yet. I am planning to make a rigged and an animated version soon.
