Sculpt Progress

Character blackout. Detail is in there just as a test. Some of the block-out is even a block-out for the actual block-out. So far this has allowed me to get a really good feel for the character.

Quick Concept

Went to Dipsy today, but my laptop ran out of charge. I sketched this up in about 15-20 minutes. I think it has a lot of potential if i were to go back in and finish it. In retrospect, I think I've come a long way in digital painting, I've managed to pretty much understand all the steps to make my way to a decent painting.

These have been my findings: ALWAYS start off very loose, even scribble in abstract form at first to get a feel for the painting, then work composition, loosely throw in some light and value, move things around, flatten image, work your foreground, midground, background, go in with a color overlay getting reference from a good color palette, run out of ideas?: scribble or throw down a texture to paint over. Then once you get the main composition down, then maybe start rendering.

Working in three other major projects, so i needed a quick outlet in painting. Will update with some of my other projects over the weekend.

Base Model

Here is my base model so far. Pretty happy with base proportions, might move on to smaller detail once I am done tinkering with it some more. The hair is placeholder at the moment.

2D Character Turnaround - Montezuma III

So I will be modeling an Aztec king this semester. The basic story is that Montezuma III takes over after Cuitalahuac after Cuitalahuac dies from a brain injury. In this alternate time, the Spanish go south of Mexico, thus bringing peace to the Aztec civilization and a golden age commences upon the rise of Montezuma III.

Aztec King Thumbnails

Some thumbnails for my character design. Just getting the silhouette down and adding some details with white on top.

Cambodian Inspired Temple - Personal Winter Project

In the end I came to one realization: It's amazing how much you can create out of just a few pieces.
