Practice and Move Onwards

Trying to get some digital painting in. Since it is something I enjoy but don't feel I am the greatest at, might as well practice. Just some screenshots of what I am working on.

Started on my story of Realm of Liadon (title in progress). Crossing my fingers on me actually finishing it. Hopefully to get a mechanical model up later this month.

Game Models

Trying to practice some  game modeling. So here is practice numero uno. A minotaur... still working on it, just thought I would put some updates of it up. Just basic mesh and just finished laying out uvs.

And going to try mudox for my sea creature, since I saw the new updates for it.

Graduate!

YAY!! I finally have a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts. Everyone please check out my offical webpage.

So while job searching I have decided to get some new stuff that I am currently working on up here. My blog will now be for current projects and more of updating stuff.

 

I am hoping to have an animation  short created and put up by the end of October with my Ashlyn character. Storyboards will be up as well by the end of the weekend.

 

Here is my manta ray/eel creature. I am giving him razor blade defensive mechanism. So when a predator trys to eat him, he can roll around and cut the inside of the predator's mouth.

 

 

I just finished blocking him in, in Maya. Will put him in Zbrush over the weekend.

 

AWESOME!!! Will be back on Sunday!



Lighting Rooms

H-E-L-L-O, again! Yes, two posts in one day. :)
Putting up renders of a Christmas living room scene.

Here you go, have a seat in this comfy chair.

Tried to go with a Victorian kind of theme, for Christmas.

That's all for tonight folks.

Forgot to mention models from (www.3drender.com)

Lighting, Textures, and Faces...oh my.

So trying to get some better skills at lighting and texturing in Maya.
UVs are not necessarily my favorite thing in texture, its just I wish I could spend more than a day on it. I try to be too organized.

Here is a lighthouse.

Model by (http://3drender.com) Lighting and Textures (Olivia Austin)

Trying to sculpt a better face for my model. Making changes to my punk face to make a younger muscular version.

As Promised

As I had promised, I'm putting up an updated quick screenshot of my realistic man.
Nothing against bald men but he really needs hair.

Currently working on face, back, hands and feet.
Respectable critiques would be appreciated.

Atlanta Firm Building

Based on a concept of a building for a firm company from an architecture student.
I am really enjoying this project. I don't know what it is but this precise measurements just clicks with me.



Concept by Patricia Pericic

A screenshot of the line/mesh.



Just a real quick render of the progress.

I will post updates of my 3D realistic man later.

Dragon of the Deep

So here he is :)
He needs some tweaks but almost there. Need to change the background, but he camouflages.

A water dragon, he is based more from a seahorse and narrow-mouth crocodile.
            I will be finishing up detailing his snout, detail to his upper and side fins, and adding more highlights and shadows to give more depth and detail to the scales.

I would appreciete any helpful critiques.

Spring Break

A new quarter has begun. I have started my Senior Project 2. I need to get some more stuff posted, hopefully next week after Easter.

Dragon is almost completely done. WOO! Will finish it tonight and get pictures up.

New projects I'll be working on this quarter.
               - Architectural Building (a design of an Architecture student? *crossing fingers*)
               - Prehistoric Bird
               - Cartoon Gaston

I hope everyone has a lovely Easter!

Spring Break

I have taken on a freelance job this quarter working with training modules for companies, which has been fun and been able to keep me up to date with Illustrator and graphics.

While doing freelance and still continuing my part-time job at DD, I have been in the start of my Senior year and completed Senior Project 1.

SENIOR PROJECT PASSED! YAY!
These are some work in progress projects from this class. Most of them are finished in modeling except for the Realistic male figure. And they need textures so going to build up a library over the break.

REALISTIC MALE FIGURE
This is my realistic male figure (it is still in the works and just right now focusing on the muscle system and its tone.)

ASHLYN
She was a my first one that I started with this quarter. I was a harder process for me to create her because I started more in my original style but I was able to push away from it. Still need to add color and texture to her.

AITHUSA
My dear dragon named from the Dragon off of MERLIN. There are some minor details I would like to add, and the textures and color as well.

 PUNK MAN
I had done this particular project in December time. Now thinking about it I will probably change his hair color and add a little more realistic skin texture.

 Well that's all folks. Until I post again.

Week 3 - Senior Project

So this quarter has started and is well on its way.
