Glammies

Very late update, seeing as the glammies was about 2 months ago now?

In short: the glammies was awesome. As a 1st year I worked in a small group to come up with a stig to go inbetween the categories. I never thought being so stressed could be so enjoyable! I've really missed the energy and stress of uni since the summer hols, and I really miss working with other people.

In this video I modelled Tink, textured her, textured the background, textured and modelled a lot of the environment (didn't do the lillys, or the background painting), and did her sparkle-trail and the sparkly-fart (which I was very pleased with!).

Since then I've mainly been slaving away at my part-time job, and sketching to help improve my design skills. My drawing and painting progress since May can be seen here (and I'm quite glad, there has been improvement! phew) - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3200090

Character Exploration

Just some videos from our character exploration project. Not very happy with the hands on the character, or the dress/neckarea... but the face worked out well :)

Enviroment, I just wish I had more time to make more props for it!

Wip - Scene

Still haven't got my character textured, however I thought I'd move onto the props for the scene, with the hope that the change of working-process will stop me getting stuck in a rut with different aspects!


Not textured yet, but some props I've been making for a little cramped shop.

Also wanted to make a skull for her desk, so I've been playing around with zbrush for a bit to see what you can do with it. First time I've actually made something in zbrush, and discovered that it's actually a really nice program once you get used to it!

Wip - Character

She needs a name, and texturing, and many other things, but I'm working on it :)

'Animating Animals'

Finished 4-legged and winged animal for the project 'animating animals'.

I'm a lot less happy with the dove, though I think there are quite a lot of texture issues (and some minor anatomy issues) with the snow leopard, however I'm quite happy with the quality of it's face. However I am quite happy with the way I'm progressing with 3dsmax, hopefully I can continue to progress at a good rate.

experiments

I have some marker pen experiments, not entirely sure how much I like them, but I think it's the better of the life drawings I've done recently. First time I've actually used markers too, which was interesting, not sure how I feel about them at the moment. Will remove fingers in the photos probably tonight, but wanted to get them up before I caught a train.

WIP - Snow Leopard

Currently working on a snow leopard for uni, we had to team up with an animator, pick an animal, and then she needs to rig/animate it, and I need to model it!

Went to the zoo and saw looots of snow leopard :)

This is what I have currently, need to attach the head, finish the tail, and the feet, give it ears, then realise that some sort of fundamental part of the anatomy is wrong... but hey, it's all planned for...
