My brief two year stint of college is over. I feel like I've come full circle, and even though I accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time, the thought that 'the one-eyed man is king in the valley of the blind' steals most of the victory away. I've learned that success is action through ownership of oneself, not…
Make a block-in mesh and observe the references. Sometimes there won't be much presented to you (week 11 I actually got lucky that there were so many good photos taken) and you will have to make some assumptions about how things work. I've said before assumptions are bad, but if you have no other choice, experience and…
Gemini - Divinity of Chaos Once known by the Harlequins as the beautiful war maidens, Rozlyn and Nimesh wielded legendary fighting abilities. One shined with bright intellect and the other elicited extraordinary strength and agility. The two, un-separated for years went on to win battle after battle. Nimesh came to resent…
Well it's been a long time since I updated. Lots of reasons I suppose, but I won't get into it here. I took a break from art for a couple months but I'm back into it and feeling refreshed! Here are a few Rubens studies from the past few days. I'm trying to make a new habit of painting daily, and even considering a 365 day…
Oh my, two years, time flies doesn't it? I'm sad to say I don't think i've improved much in two years. Here is some humble advice again: 1. So the way you have the zygomatic-frontal note quite right, I don't have photoshop right now so it's hard to describe, so i'll use some refrence images and wurds: See how misses…
Thanks for the replies all! Cexar -- Thanks! To be honest, I'm unclear how much IK and FK is even in effect with the biped. All I know is I had enough breakdowns to follow the arc I wanted there, but I'm glad you liked it. I addressed the two problems you brought up, and have hopefully fixed them up in this next version.…
So I went ahead and decided to finish with the low poly building even though that's not the preferred method. I thought it'd be better to have something done and ready to go just in case I don't have enough time for Z-brush with finals around the corner. So here we go! I finished all the low poly modeling with a few…
Most modeling programs (Max and Maya included) have the same tools, just different names for them. I don't know the Maya names, but there's gotta be something similar... So I figured I'd mention it so you could look for those tools, that's all. Removing those edges (with optimize) would probably damage the uv but it would…
I told you before, i love the bugs, I love the variety you have going on. I have some remarks though: -while the menu is creative, I'm no fan of the background (concrete kinda thing). I'd just drop it and go for simple two tone styling. -You have one of your older lowpoly organics in there, the bug thing. It seems less…
The metal bands need to be larger in order to rest on top of the wood. Also the wood color is off. It's too red and bold. Have a look back at you're concept but even more importantly look at some reference images of actual old kegs and barrel. This should give you some idea of the colours you should be aiming for. The wood…
