Sketch a roo

Decided to sketch a little in Photoshop. Felt wonderful. Here is the Hookah Prince himself, my dad :P

Final

Here are some final renders of my level. I enjoyed working on this and learned much from my experiences. I will take this further by making this in unreal.

test_all

Here is a quick render of the scene so far. There are some major things wrong here, most prevalent being the waterfalls(stupid particles...no stupid me for not figuring them out), no bg, and the ground being too smooth even with the texture.

Still I dont mind the lighting, defiantly will tweak it by the due date on thurs-no...yeah, This Thursday....shit thats really soon. Well I'll be a zombie by Friday for sure, sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

arrangement

So here is a nice little arrangement of some of my assets mixed with a second version on my yurt. Assets are: tree,tree2, torch,fern, rock1, rock2,flower, and yurt2. I used various numbers of each asset to get a look that I want. Here though, are some dramatic lighting shots, one is a back view in the shadow, and the other is with the rising "sun" hitting it so its bright. Shadows need a little work. Enjoy

Coocoo

Assets 2

I modeled all of these assets in Maya and lit them as well.I mostly got my finished look with uvs, but some of them I used procedural such as the metal objects.

Asset Lantern/Torch

Some renders of a lantern hanging on a tree that Im doing for my level. I'll have some other screen shots up of the other assets Im working on soon.

thats about it

I've started working on my model of my head again. Just finishing up some touchups of uvs. Later I'll add hair and eyes to make it less spooky. For class tho I have at least 5 assets due by next week. Yay level design!

Sadly the forelegs of the cat are unfinished. I plan on finishing it this summer.

Old works pt4

One of the most rewarding experiences at SCAD has been during my Animal Anatomy class. In it, we had to make a complete musculature out of Plasticine on a bone structure of a cat. Also we had to create an animal that catered to whatever world we designed, be it real or not. My Professor Paul Hudson is a man of many talents being part of Imagineers at Disney, NASA, FBI for facial reconstruction from a skull, and various museums so he could create awesome dinosaurs. Therefore, creating a creature that could be opaque enough that an individual such as he could not see through easily was a challenge, but I oh my did I enjoy it! It wasn't just the visuals that had to sell my creature, but the history, how it moved, how it ate, what animal class it was in, ect. The more detail the better.

Below is a copy of my animal information:

Old works pt3

I had to create a scene or environment for a character and this place must be from my imagination. So of course who would I choose? Why the leading Merc with a mouth of course, DEADPOOL.

I really just had fun modeling for the camera and also learning procedural texturing in maya. Hope you all like and long live the Deadpool :)

Old works pt2

Here we have a character design I came up with last year for one of my gaming courses at SCAD. Essentially this character Aziac lives in a neon city where the only way to gain the lead is pop the big man in the lead. Thus the assassination nation thrives. Aziac is a gun for hire, one day she could be protecting your hind tale, the other, she could be sniping it.

Previous works

Here we have on display is a little work I've done in the past year. This little fellow was made form an animation class and his name is Poncho. Poncho is a mischievous little dude in which he lures people in with that deceiving mask of his, traps them with his long cage like fingers and then transports them off to wilderness unknown. Why he does this...for the heck of it of course.

Three levels so little time

The beginning planning stages of my game level are coming along pretty well. Visual designing and organizing is a very interesting part of the whole process. Here is a niffty shot of my level so far.

Warm colors are a higher elevation and progress to a cooler spectrum. :)

The first week of school has come and passed. Im taking Flash programming, Level and Envio Design, and Animation 2. Looks to be super busy but oh so fun :D I will put up some more art here in the next few weeks. Till then-

Photoshop summer fun

I wanted to work in photoshop this summer but I didn't really do much. Here is one of the pieces I actually finished.

little zbrush magic

I've been experimenting in Zbrush a bit. This is supposed to be a model of me but of course I HAVE eyes, hair and well...my skin isn't grey. Basically Im a Terminator in the pic. Still thanks to a special someone of mine I experimented in Zbrush and Im having lots of fun. Great tip for anyone wanting to start on zbrush: Check out Pixologics site. They have tons of tutorials professional and fan made.

Today I bought...

...hoochie shoes. Yes, giant 6" stilettos. Whats that? You are wondering why I resorted to slow suffering of calf muscle deterioration due to big ass and REALLY uncomfortable shoes? I only have one word....GAGA. Lady Gaga and well Halloween. :D So I bought my personal sky scraper to stand on just so that I could maybe, just maybe catch a glimpse of what those ppl over 5' 5'' see. More importantly tho I wanted to look like Lady Gaga so I bought the hooker heels and some super ass hug-ers. I believe Im on my way. Go Gaga WOOO! GO ANNIE WOOOER!

New to the Groove

I thought it about it time I start blog of my own to, you know, be one of the kool kids. More importantly organizing my work and getting it out for other to see has become a priority. Soon I will post something of worth but for now please enjoy this... B--->
