QBranch's Workshop (fan art)

QBranch · February 2012

To celebrate my 1,007th post here on MI6, I thought I'd start my very first fan art thread.

Besides making fan art posters, I like to spend my downtime creating 3D models and animations. I've been making stuff for about three years now, and there's still so much to learn.

One of my long term goals is to make a feature length (minimum one and a half hours) realistic 3D Bond animation. It's going to take a long time, and I understand I need a decent script before story boarding, animating etc., so while I ponder over that, there are other things I can be doing such as making props one might expect to see in a Bond film. Specifically, I've started making a lot of props for Q's lab- such as weapons, gadgets, and some other goodies from previous Bond films and games. A lot of them will just be used as background props and subtle homages. Below are some examples of what I've done over the last year or so.

Here's some examples of weapons with actual photo references applied to the texture for extra
realism:

Much more to come.

Are there any other 3D modellers or 2D/3D animators here on MI6?

JWESTBROOK · February 2012

Almost better than the graphics Activision puts out!

Hoping to see Q's sub from.. er.. Goldeneye was it? The 'That's my lunch!' line.

And of course the ppk.

QBranch · February 2012

Ha ha, cheers @JWESTBROOK :) I always got a kick out of that line. Pure gold.

Fierce_Brosnan · February 2012

Very cool graphics there!

QBranch · February 2012

Thanks! More goodies to come soon!

0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 · February 2012

Very impressive my friend. I'd love to see facial animations of all 6 Bond actors. Fantastic job @QBranch, I can't wait to see more. Thread officially bookmarked. =D>

QBranch · February 2012

Thank you, @0Brady. Personally, I'm kind of dreading the challenge of modelling CraigBond's face, not to mention other characters! For now, I think I'll just stick to the props!

DarthDimi · March 2012

Great stuff!!!!!

I had some fun with AutoCAD in the old days but I doubt I would have been able to reach your level, good sir. Well done.

0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 · March 2012

Nice work as usual @QBranch! Can't wait to see what you give us next. :-bd

QBranch · March 2012

Thanks for the comments, guys :)

Here's a hint. Some of the more iconic Bond weapons and gadgets to come. ;)

X3MSonicX · March 2012

Laser Watch? Grapple?

QBranch · March 2012

I've got a watch prop I'll post up when it's finished :)

JWESTBROOK · March 2012

Wow! Amazing work, and your improving! The watches and the ppk's are amazing.

Sigh.. if only I...

QBranch · March 2012

Cheers :) The glow effect on the watch LED's is something I only learned a few days ago.

QBranch · March 2012

Just finished another gun prop. It's a Calico M105, which uses a helical magazine to fit in more rounds (100). It's only a .22, but I think it's a nice looking rifle.

0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 · March 2012

OMG what an awesome job!

QBranch · March 2012

Thanks Brady :)

Mark_Hazard · May 2012

Some great stuff there and sorry to nit-pick, but although the weapon below is a derivitive of the M16, I would suggest it is an AR-15, although I may be wrong.

Where is @QBranch? He has always been one of my favorite members here.

QBranch · August 2012

Hi guys, I've been offline for a while due to internet problems, but it's all sorted now. I’ve made a few new props as well as going back to the wooden crate I made earlier just to make it look a bit more realistic:

I made a gunbarrel and gave it a cleaner, sterile look like the one from QoS. I haven't modelled Bond himself yet, so at the moment it's just the barrel with blood. The barrel is also 3D, so the light will move around it once I get it to turn.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it. :)

myworldisenough · April 2013

Great effort @QBranch Impressive stuff. Keep up the good work!

0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 · April 2013

I must say, @QBranch, I always appreciate things I see that I can't do, and this 3D work is one of those things. Great builds, my friend. We can only hope that these all make it into a film one day if you so embark on that venture. Until then we will be on the sidelines rooting you on every step of the way! >:D<

Murdock · April 2013

All the stuff for a great indy Bond game. ;)

0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 · April 2013

I would love to see a 3D model of Bond, @QBranch. 8->

QBranch · April 2013

Hey thanks for the feedback, guys! I thought I fixed those links so they'd go directly to the images instead of my album, but darn photobucket has to keep being a nuisance. I really must start uploading to Flickr.

That's the plan, 0Brady. The outline of my story is pretty much done. Once I'm happy with it, I'll make up some storyboards. It's a slow process, but as time passes the script matures. In the meantime I'll just keep making props. I've started modelling Craig's head, might post some WIPs soon.

I got more vehicles on the way- nearly finished texturing my London bus for the scenes at MI6. :D

Judi2013fan_MeetBond · April 2013

wow what a great job! Presenetiti mest!

Sadly i cant do these fan arts because my blindness. If I could I would make the best ones ever :)

0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 · April 2013

@QBranch, so it is Craig that is Bond in your vision? I like it already! ;)

QBranch · April 2013

I try not to play favourites, but I agree- he's an excellent Bond. The plan is to have the story set in the Craig era- possibly between the events of QoS and SF, but most likely after SF, as I'm including a scene between Bond and the new Q.

Here's a quick snap of my freshly started WIP for Bond's head. I've pretty much got the more difficult areas of the face done:
