Asari Fan-Sculpt

I almost never post fan art, but getting myself to focus on sculpting for a couple hours tonight was difficult with only a third of Mass Effect 3 left... (based off earlier concept where Asari didn't have human noses...)

Chani WIP 01

Chani WIP 00

Starting a new project based of a concept of Dune's Chani wearing a stillsuit created by Devon Cady-Lee

Trying out a new process where I start out with a simple zsphere mesh and block out the figure, right now I've blocked out the muscles and in the process of making adjustments to better fit proportions of the concept.

New Lunch Crunch Project! Lewis Chessmen

Started a sculpt of the King piece from the Lewis Chessmen. 15min today

Adventuress Final For Now!

Here's my Adventuress sculpt turnaround, fully polypainted. I think I'm going to leave her alone for now, with the reservation of creating a low poly later. I'm really just excited to be able to move on to another personal project!

Doodle!

I'm just about to graduate, and I'm finally able to just do what I want in my free time! Got a nice doodle out of some of that time too! It's a dude in a track-space-suit...

Adventuress WIP 13

Stole some time to make a post of what I'm planning to have for commencement! please crit, however because I have no time really to go back I can't say I'll be able to act on them until after this whole school thing is over!

Adventuress WIP 12

I decided she needed a much better representation for her hair for the Commencement show, so while I'm texturing her I'm also going to be working on fixing that up. I'm thinking that rather than the feather sort of approach I took with the top part of the hair, I'd create an underlying geometry to give the hair the needed mass while also using it for the hair on the back of the head...

I need critique, I'm literally not leaving my desk this weekend to get this textured and the hair right for commencement! Thanks!

Updated arms

Adventuress WIP 10

2,476 Tris

1289 Verts

I was wondering about the shading problems I'm having wherever the shoulder meets the tanktop or wherever there is some sort of angle. I'd fix those problems with props by either adding more geometry, or editing the normals of the verts. Would I approach it in a similar way in this case?

Adventuress WIP 9

First day of retopo, Chris linked me to lots of bad ass reference and stuff, which ends up linking to EVEN MORE reference and stuff. I'm trying to make sense of it while also trying to figure out how exactly to screen-cap this that it makes sense... I decided to start out with the notorious SHOULDER!

Adventuress WIP 8

Just a small update with the final detail pass on the boots, I wanted to make sure they looked like cowboy boots, so I added a design. It's the last detail I'm probably going to do until I move on to the low poly.

This image is just me goofing around with Decimation Master + Mental Ray in Max 2011, I'm looking forward to seeing how the next steps turn out!

3DsMax 2011 Experiment

Learning new things! Not dead! look at my AMAZING re-topo job on this Utah Teapot! Just playing around with the Graphite Modeling tools in newer versions of Max.

Japanese Hand Scroll WIP 02

Moved into pixel work, blocked out all the large colors, will be working on light and shadows, along with material differentiation. Enjoying the project so far.
