Hi guys! Just testing out the sketchbook feature. If you're interested, here's a peek at my latest finished model, and the one I'm working on now!

This next one will have shoes though (:

I've made lots of progress since the last post! She has hair, eyelashes and boots now! I need to work on refining her soon, after finishing her belt. Just finishing up blocking it out now!

Quick study I did - I've colorized the sword chick, but not happy with it yet. I'll post an update of that later.

Another in-progress shot of my sword chick. Started working on some colors for her.

Currently working on building a fantasy castle scene, with some Scottish influences.

First overall shot, blocking out the general shape of the castle in Unreal in comparison to the terrain that I generated using World Machine. I tried applying some textures to the blocks, but the cylinders wanted nothing to do with it.

The gate a little closer. There's quite a bit of stretched UVs going on and repetition, but the colors are pretty close to where I want them.

The angel statue has some interesting cracks going on that I think I want to replicate through the rest of the gate.

I didn't want my castle to be entirely empty, so I started with a simple bedroom that I'm hoping to populate more as I go. I'm trying to figure out how to get my "modular" walls and floors to be more seamless.

A different angle with some more lights to show off some of the stuff on the bed and door. I'm hoping as I figure this out, I can fill the castle with a few halls and rooms to make it more than just an empty shell.

Small update, I've got a tower mostly finished, along with a spiral staircase that you can just barely see peeking out of the door. Not sure what sort of door I want to pop in there, so leaving it off for the time being.

Was working on towers this weekend and got distracted.. I'm working on a low-poly version that I think I'd like to have swooping around the castle.

Couple more updates!

My dragon's textures are coming along.

And! I finally managed to convince myself to get back to work on the exterior. So I have a desaturated red brick to add some contrast from all the gray tone.
