Nissan Z350 June Update

Final Renders of my car model 'Nissan Z350'.

Head Sculpt from Zsketch Wednesday, week seven.  Sketch was done in an hour using a low-poly maya base-mesh.

First Base Mesh

This is my first attempt at modeling a male base mesh.  Still very rough but its showing some progress.  I really just dove blind into this and hoped for the best.  I've been going off a very basic male orthographic view I found on the internet which has helped me a bit with proportion but other then that has been rendered pretty useless.

The model itself is still too thin for my liking, so I plan on putting him into Zbrush to bulk up the geometry and start putting in some more detailed masses and structure.  Updates to follow.

Texture Dragon

Really Happy with this one.  An Assignment for class to color in a supplied line art.  Had a great time texturing and coloring this.

Character Painting

Took some time Saturday night to do some work in Photoshop.  Was inspired by some of the amazing work of Paolo Pantalena's, aka Pant, line art illustrations, so decided to take the challenge of painting one of his works.  Check out more of his amazing work on his Blog.

Follow up to Saturdays drawings, Decided to celebrate Easter by coloring another one of "pant's" works, one of his angel characters.

Update on my Nissan 350Z  Spent a few hours tweeking and putting on necessary parts to create a renderable version for this terms demo reel.   Still have a lot of plans left with this thing but for now, I am forced to stop working on it (minus a few tweeks here and there of course) and move onto other projects.
