yay

its been a rough year... I’ll try and do everything I didn’t have time for during the summer. I made hair cards for the fine hairs on her arm but didn’t have enough time to render out a closeup of the skin pores/wrinkles. She has a mouth pocket but never finished retopoing the teeth or gums. I used my kirin’s tongue haha. I made a very detailed forest scene for her as well but decided to scrap it entirely.

WIP just starting the top half/skin

Debating on whether I should sculpt the skin textures now or move on to retopo and do it later.

A biped character I am working on at the moment. Initially had a tribal hunter-type character planned since July last year. I think I have improved a fair bit since then, so I changed my idea to better suit my current modelling ability.  Started off with a more historically accurate samurai-inspired outfit but decided to challenge myself by blending it with scifi. Concepting has been difficult and I’m still not quite happy with the design yet, but it’s getting there. Integrating cloth and scifi elements so far has been the biggest challenge. It’s slowly turning into a ninja...

I had a whole bunch of renders, poses and different colour schemes; after some feedback from several nice people I decided to go with this one. I had a winter landscape with a blue/green colour-scheme initially but lighting the scene was difficult. In this red scene, I cheated my lighting by adding a green light underneath the ground plane and made some particles below the creature to get some more volume through rim-lighting. 

Some more progress on my qilin creature

pretty close to done texturing

some things im working on atm

some concept sketches for my next 3D assignment. making a qilin :)

First assignment completed for 2nd semester! Had only a week to do this one but due to some circumstances, had to finish it in two days. Having done portrait-painting for 2 years three times a week certainly paid off :). I’m aware that the topology isnt ideal for an animatable rig. There is no SSS shader; I faked SSS by painting warm colours into the diffuse

Modular tree house assignment for school. Rendered in UE4 I’m so glad this is over...  This is based on a treehouse concept I drew in my production art class in first year. 

some historical concept characters for school. I chose to do around 1300-1400s (inquisitions, witch hunts, Bubonic plague, Joan of Arc, etc). My focus  was to make villains and good guys.

Drawings from class today. Stuff on the sides are my prof’s revisions that he wanted (I implemented them). Had to do some sort of steampunk character

closeups. Rendered in UE4. First serious WorldMachine project.

Crit in a few hours
