My Pet Skeleton has been around for a very long time, and the fact it has a ‘guestbook’ tells you just how long, but I still enjoy the interface, illustrations and spooky music. It’s basically a Flash portfolio site for digital artisit Vincent Marcone and he has some great imagery on there. Check it out, and also his very cool site for Johnny Hollow, a musical act. Check the moths and ladybugs. I just love them! This site was programmed by his longtime collaborator Tomasz Dysinski.

3D Cluster
On April - 17 - 2009
This week’s featured folio is from New Zealand.
3D Cluster are a collective of very talented freelance artists working together to bring advertisers visions to life. They specialise in: High quality 3D for print media, Photorealistic 3D modelling and texturing, Architectural Rendering and Stylised 3D.
The image shown here is part of an ad campaign for Sky Digital New Zealand through DDB New Zealand and shows the unlikely scenario of Alien Vs Predator playing chess to advertise Sky TVs screening of the film. Such a great image. They also have a fantastic walkthrough of how the image was created, along with a bunch of other great work.
