Me: Eric Keller

Hi and welcome to my Blog. This is a hastily compiled record of my digital art and computer graphics experiments. I am a freelance CG artist living and working in Hollywood CA. I have written several books on Maya and ZBrush. Below my blog you'll find links to the books and tutorials I have authored and co-authored. I also occasionally teach at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood.I named my blog "Bloopatone" in honor of my first dog "Blue". She passed away a few years ago and I still miss her even though she was very grouchy and liked to bite me!

I'm proud to be an instructor at The Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Take a look at the work of our students and instructors on the Gnomon School Blog and the Gnomon Workshop Blog

More Fire Ant Fun

Very close to rigging my little baby here. Just completing a few tweaks/corrections to the clubs on the antennae, the gaster, hairs and the petiole to try and get her closer to S. invicta. I finished Stephen Welton Taber's Fire Ants and just started Walter R. Tschinkel's The Fire Ants. Both amazing books. Thanks again to Seth Burgess for his critiques of my model. Of course now I have to tackle the queen. the male, and the minims!
