Here is a render of my current set! It's about 90% modeled, texturing and lighting to come soon. I'm happy to say that at least I've made more progress on the set of my film than in anything else. Animation is at a standstill thanks to my main character's rig being broken, but hopefully I will get some help with that soon.
Here are the completed paintings from last semester's digital illustration class. They really helped me to come up with a final design for Lani and Mr. Robocop here, which are on their way to being fully-realized 3D animated characters. I am working on them today, but sadly Maya does not come as naturally to me as drawing does so they don't look as great as I wished they did. :(
This is also my first ever attempt at any sort of painterly illustrative style, digital or otherwise. I'm sure it shows. Some of them are more unfinished than others, but I'm basically satisfied with how much I've learned the past few months.
I really want to buy a Cintiq now - I got to use one in the lab while working on these and there's really nothing else like it. I think I've gotten spoiled, because now regular tablets just feel awkward.
Hacking out a composition idea for digital illustration. If all goes well (and let me tell you, it's not going well right now), this will be an animated scene by the end of the year.
This is supposed to be my younger sister and myself as students at Hogwarts (yes, I'm a Ravenclaw and she's a Hufflepuff). Just did a quick little speed painting (a little over an hour or so) to get acquainted with the process of drawing stuff from imagination. It has no lighting and needs lots of refinement, so I'll probably revisit it later.
A still life and a self-portrait for class. Still a novice and both took me an absurdly long time, like 3-7 hours. I am slow at art and I hate that. :(
I'm a visual art generalist who does graphic design professionally full-time, animation/3D modeling as a freelancer, and sculpture/illustration as a hobby. I use both digital and traditional methods for a wide variety of projects.
You can expect to find everything from work in progress photos to finished pieces to tutorials to ruminations on living the creative life. Thanks for visiting!
