May 03, 2008: Wow, shame on me! I hadn't realized it had been so long since I updated the News section. It certainly hasn't been because of a lack of new News.

First off, I recently did an interview with 3D Creative Magazine. The gang over there has always been great to me, and doing this interview was an absolute honor. Its about 12mb, you can read it by CLICKING HERE. Be sure to check out 3Dcreative magazine for other great articles, images, and info.

My work was also chosen to be in a few different books. You'll find my Nurse character "Flu Shot Anyone" in the newest volume of "Digital Art Master's", as well as the prestigious "Elemental 3, the Worlds Best Autodesk art". How cool is that?! Both books should be up on Amazon within a few months.

I'm still trucking along at Sony Pictures Imageworks. I've had the pleasure of working on some truly amazing projects. Unfortunately, none have been released quite yet. I'll be sure to update once they hit theatres.

Be sure to check out all the new projects in the 3D section. The most recent projects all have stories to accompany them.

I just updated my Demo reel as well. You can find it in the demo reel section. Enjoy!

 

January 06, 2008: Happy New Year Everyone! Wow, were do I start? First off, I have a new modeling demo reel up for 2008. It was chosen to be shown on the top page at cgtalk.com which is a great honor. Be sure to check it out in the demo reel section of my site.

I was recently interviewed by the Chinese website www.CGfinal.com for their magazine CGArt. Its a great honor and I can't wait to see the end result. Once its completed I'll be sure to post it here. Its incredible to know that my art has been seen all across the world. Thank you internet =)

I put up my most recent piece in the 3D section. Its called "Poof!". I also wrote a little story for it. Enjoy!

Last, but certainly not least.

 

December 14, 2007: Happy Holidays everyone! Wow, its been quite a while since I wrote an update (I have however been quietly updating the site's 3d section with new stuff). So, I'll do my best to get you up to date. First off, I'm still working for Sony Pictures Imageworks. It really is honor to work for Imageworks, and I love the environment there. We should start seeing teasers for the film I'm working on very soon, and I will be sure to post once that happens.

I had the honor of being interviewed by my alma mater Full Sail college. Its kind of funny reading the article now. At the time I did it, I couldn't talk much about the project I was working on at Henson, so it looks very top secret and shouldn't have =) Anyway, you can check out the article by CLICKING FULL SAIL INTERVIEW.

A film I worked on briefly for the Cartoon network / Super78, just aired. While I didn't do much more then a few weeks of work on it (1 Character model), I'm excited about it because its my first film credit. http://imdb.com/name/nm2846786/

You can find a clip of the character I modeled by CLICKING HERE

 

May 4, 2007: Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by. I've been a little slow on updates, and Im sorry for that. I just wrapped up work at the Jim Henson Creature Shop. What an amazing experience that was. Inspiration just flows through the Jim Henson studio, and I'm glad to have worked under one of my hero's names =) The people at the Henson company are wonderful and I really wish them the best.

With that said, I just accepted my next job. I'll be working as a Modeler at the highly successful Sony Pictures Imageworks. I start there on June 4th, and you can just imagine how excited I am about the opportunity. In the next month I'll be doing a few odd jobs and hopefully finishing my short film. Please stay tuned for a lot of updates in the next month.

I added a few new characters to the 3d section. Check them out and let me know what ya think.

March 1, 2007: Major League Baseball 2k7 was released a few days ago for the Xbox 360. The reviews so far have been very flattering, and im proud to say that I was a part of the great team that put the visuals together. I also had another piece of art work published in the leading 3d magazine "3DWorld Magazine". You can see my Opossum character in February's issue. Work at the Henson Creature Shop is going extremely well. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been spending a ton of my free time working on my short film. I'll post some pics soon enough though.

February 12, 2007: I had my last day at 2ksports/kush games today. It was a hard decision to leave Kush, but I'm a passionate person, and my passion is presently lies in film and TV. Tomorrow I start The Jim Henson's Creature Shop in Hollywood. Henson is a hero of my mine, and its an honor to be working under his legendary name. Check back soon for updates. I'll be adding some 2d sketches as well as a new personal project very soon.

January 28, 2007: Added a new project to the 3d section. Enjoy!

January 21, 2007: I made a few changes to the site. Just cleaning things up. I also added some new work to the 3d section.

January 10, 2007: The great folks over at 3dcreative magazine where kind enough to let me show off the article I wrote for them covering the making of my Surfer Dude character. You can check out the article by CLICKING HERE

January 2, 2007: Happy New Year everyone! A couple of very cool things happened over the break. First off, My new Demo reel has the honor of being chosen to be on the top row over at cgsociety.org. Thus giving the reel a lot of exposure and great feedback. You can check it out by clicking HERE (CGsociety Reel Thread) Also, my reel is being featured over at CGarena's "Cream of the crop" demo reel section. You can check that out by clicking HERE (CGarena Reel Section).

December 21, 2006: Well, that just about does it for another year, and what an amazing one it was. I really couldn't be happier. The hard work has been paying off. Just look at the difference in quality from my 3d work in 2005 to my work in 2006. To say that I'm obsessed with this 3d stuff is an understatement. I just can't get enough of it =) Work is great. 2Ksports/Kush games have really taken care of me, and while I still have a great thirst to get into the animation/film industry, I'm very happy with my current situation at Kush games. As I stated before, I really am obsessed with 3D, and that can take quite a toll on ones personal life. So, I want to take this moment to thank my extremely understanding and supportive girlfriend Holly (my favorite girlfriend out of the 14 that I have, kidding =), as well as my wonderful family, and semi-wonderful friends =) Thanks so much for helping me follow this dream. Ok, with all that said lets move on to the fun stuff. First, be sure to check out the Jan. issue of 3dworld magazine, where you'll find my "Say Cheese" piece featured. Also, I added a couple new projects to the 3d section, including a furry little opossum. The biggest thing I learned from that project is that Opossum is spelled Opossum. I also updated my demo reel which can be found in the demo reel section. Well, that's about it. Enjoy, and thanks for a great year!

November 09, 2006: Well, if you haven't noticed yet, there's a new image in the 3D section. Its basically a tribute to Norman Rockwell. A couple of big things happened this week. First off, 2KSports has released some screenshots of the game I'm working on, you can find them by clicking HERE. Secondly, the Nov Issue of 3DCreative Magazine is out. In this issue, you'll find a small bio on page 5, another Gallery image ("Say Cheese") on page 78, and an article I wrote starting on page 105. I also got word this week that my "Say Cheese" image was chosen to be published in the Jan. issue of 3DWorld Magazine. This will be the third different magazine to publish my work. Exciting stuff! Well, at least for me it is =) Click the Banners below to check out the Magazine's.

October 22, 2006: My "Surfer Dude" project has been published in the Oct. issue of CGArena. Find out more in the Professional Work section of my site.

October 11,2006: There are a couple cool things going on in my 3D life that I thought I'd share. First off, My first published piece (Surfer Dude) can be seen in this month's issue of 3DCreative Magazine, which is already out. Also, I just found out this morning that my newest piece (Say Cheese!) was also picked to be published in the Nov. Issue. The hard work seems to be paying off. Who would have thought hard work could be so fun! =)

September 29, 2006: I have a new piece up. He's quite the looker too! You can find him in the 3D section. I've also continued to add interaction quicktime's to my characters. Since the last update I have added the Cyborg, Mech Spider, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Medusa, Forest Guardian, Dancing Elephant, and the Transformations. Check em out!

September 27, 2006: I've been adding some really cool interactive quicktime's to my character pages. So far I've done the bird creature, civil war soldier, discus thrower, and cowboy. Definitely check out those characters in the 3D sections. I also have an updated demo reel, and I'm nearly completion on a new creepy character =)

September 13, 2006: Well, here it is, the new and improved website. I wish I could take credit for the great design, but it all goes to my Uncle Dom who put this together for me. (I can't thank you enough Dom!) Anyone looking to update their online portfolio or start a new site should check out his service at http://www.architechsfortheweb.com/

Needless to say, I'm very excited about the new site layout and I'm feverishly updating things. Most noticeably, the 3D section has a few new characters. I also found out a few days ago that one of my characters will be published in the Oct. Issue of 3Dcreative Magazine. (My first published piece, woohoo) I will also be featured in the Nov. issue with a "Making Of" article covering the process in which I made my Surfer Dude. On top of that, I was also awarded an excellence award from www.3dtotal.com and my Surfer Dude will be featured their character gallery. I'll make sure to post links once that stuff is up. Things are Swell. Let me know what you think of the new site!

September 7, 2006: Another new character! Check Here to see.....
(She is the one with the Wine Glass and something on her head!)

August 22, 2006: New character! Scroll down...

August 19, 2006: I think this is the longest I've ever gone without updating my site. It certainly doesn't mean I haven't been working though! I have a lot of very cool updates coming soon. Including a newly designed website that my Uncle is working on, as well as some new character's and animation's. I don't want to leave you hanging though, so I've updated both of the 2D sections. Also check out my work in progress page by clicking here,  where you'll find a LOT of new work =) Enjoy!

July 1, 2006: Added a few 2D Pictures.

June 06, 2006: Ack 666?!?!? Well, even a scary date can't keep me from updating! I added a new project I'm working on to the 3D section. An alien and his pet =) I also added a character that I finished last year but recently updated the render. He can be found in the 3D section, under 2005. He has 4 arms! =)

May 23, 2006: I figured it was time to finally update the 2Dsection. You can find new drawings in both the Sketch section and Anatomy section. I'm working on a few different models at the moment, and I'll be sure to update once they are done. Enjoy!

May 5, 2006: Happy Cinco De Mayo. Today's update is a pretty big one. While life is wonderful at 2ksports, I thought it would be a good idea to keep my demo reel up to date. Click on Demo Reel at the top of the page to check it out. Also, I'd love to hear some feedback, so feel free to email me at eric_provan@yahoo.com. Thanks!

March 23, 2006: Updated the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Also, 2Ksports is releasing screenshots of MLB 2K6 for the Xbox 360, so everyone can finally see some of my professional work. I ended doing 8 stadiums in total. The first batch of screenshots can be found HERE

November 03, 2005: Hi everyone. Unfortunately this is just a quick status update. I am happy to say that the job hunt is over. I landed a position at 2ksports/kush games as a game artist a few weeks ago. You can read more about them at www.2ksports.com. I should have some new artwork up within a few weeks, so keep checking back.
