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.

Class Project Q2 - Character Design
Two sketches done for class to show artistic ability in drawing characters.  Not original concept, characters from Disney films Hercules and Aladin.



Class Project Q1 - Shoebox room design
Perspective room assignment to create a 'mad scientist' laboratory.  I went for the Dr. Jekyl Mr, Hyde approach.  

Clean Prints
 

Roughs























Really enjoyed this one, Loved all the detail I could put into room with the cabinet and fireplace.  Wish I could have cleaned up the praying men on the cabinet better though, they don't really come across as strongly as I hoped.

If I ever get the chance I plan on attempting to model the room in maya, be a big project but a lot of fun.
