Sketchbook: MaVCArt

MaVCArt

Hi guys, this is my sketchbook
I'm mattias (hence "MaVCArt: Mattias V.C. Art), 19 years old and live in Belgium.
I'm fairly new to 3D and CG in general (only been doing it for just under a year), but I have to say it's really gotten me going and I'm really passionate about what I do.

So without any further ado, here are some of my works:






now, as you can see I mainly focus on modeling, and not so much on rendering and materials, as well as lighting, but that's being dealt with.
also, you might notice that there's not much actual "game art" in there per se, but that's just because I haven't really created anything noteworthy that can go here. I have been experimenting with the UDK kit and normal baking lately, so be sure to expect a lot more from me

(the car is low poly by the way, though he isn't quite finished yet :P )

With only a year training thats pretty well done. .

You have done some traditional art before you went for 3d right?

MaVCArt

nope, started traditional together with 3D :P well I did some drawing but you can hardly even call that drawing :P never took any classes though, not until a year ago, when I started studying DAE

some more work...
the last picture is a WIP shot of a game i'm working on for a school project
the building structure you see in the shot is 100% mine, the rest is someone else's work. more content and screens following

ps: critiques, feedback and any kind of comment is greatly welcomed

Those first two pieces really stand out. Have you attempted a lowpoly of that engine block? That'd make a nice in-game piece with normals and a grimy texture.

i'm gonna blow this thread a new life....

so here's the latest update on my UDK scene (which i'm gonna redo at a basic level, i'll just keep the layout and proportions now that i've got them right.



also, an old prop that i finally finished and am making a pedestal for right now:



more following, i'm gonna start doing random textures as practice, i need to get better at texturing...

that cell shaded canyon look cool, would love to see more of that. Also, for a year doing this, you're pretty good. Would love to see some 2d stuff from you

Mavcart, I think the challenge for you is getting the material definition right. Also, I know you've got more stuff than this (post it!) Your UDK Scene looks promising, just watch out that there isn't an overuse in lens flares & bloom in the final product.
