WIP- Character redesign 1

In lieu of trying to update this blog a bit more frequently from here on out, here's a bit of a WIP I am working on. Will post more progress soon.

ANI113B- Day and Night

ANI51A- Flaregun Geometry

I'll admit, even though Maya gives me pain sometimes, modeling is definitely a lot of fun.

The modeling portion of the flare gun should be about done. Next is UVs and texturing...oh boy.

ANI113B- Hero Tree Forest (Color)

Here is my color pass for my hero tree layout. I wish I could keep working on this forever, but at a certain point you do have to move on. Especially since I'll be repainting this in acrylic soon.

ANI51A- Flare gun WIP

Here's a little screenshot of what I've been working on in my modeling class. It's not quite finished yet, but I figured it would be a nice change of pace to post something a bit different.

I do enjoy modeling quite a lot. Sure, Maya can be pretty frustrating at times, but when the program cooperates with you, it's like the best feeling ever.

ANI113B- Forest Layout Third Pass

This is the third pass for my hero tree/forest layout painting. I got some really good tips from my friend Jonathan Chu (check his stuff out here!) on how to really punch up the atmosphere with overlays and really hi-key highlights in the foreground. There are some fixes I still need to do, but Bunny liked it a lot for the atmospheric perspective.

Next up are color comps and then the final painting!

ANI113B- Pinecone from Hell

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous how hard this painting was. It took me many passes before I finally got this painting looking clean. Few more for me to figure out the color movement. And then forever to get the cast shadow.

Learned a lot from this though. But boy am I glad to be done with it.
