3D Projects by Michael Johns

Tee Minus
I was lucky enough to be a part of the Electric Sheep Company's CSI:NY/Second Life project from June to October, creating characters and sets (including Anthony Zuiker's avatar, pictured here). (more...) I was also a part of ESC's Emmy Award Winning "L Word in Second Life" project, creating avatars of the show's stars, including the amazing Pam Grier, pictured above.
CHAI skins
In May, Paul DeAnda appeared in Second Life, and I created her avatar (on contract for ESC). George R.R. Martin appeared in the ESC, Bantam/Dell bookstore within Second Life, appearing as the fan-favorite character Tyrion Lannister, and this is what I felt was a pretty close approximation.
Pixel Dolls 2008 Panache
I had a great time making Dean Koontz's avatar for ESC, to use for his online interview in Second Life. I had virtually no photo reference, so this was a skin painted entirely from scratch. I worked directly for NBC creating avatars for their Virtual NBC concert series. This is the band Fuel (of which I'm a fan!). Unfortunately, the concert never aired so these avatars have yet to be used.

The last concert NBC actually held was Joan Osborne; avatar by me. Meet the Virtual CSI Team - all created by me (for ESC)!
