Goat Boy

Here is a concept from one of the models I'm working on this semester. I've already done the image planes for him and started doing the low poly version. The face is looking good. A lot easier to do since I've had experience on doing low poly modeling from my previous classes. My instructor told me I had to work on my torso anatomy and I'm inclined to agree with him. Have to whip out the anatomy books and study them I suppose. He also mentioned something about goats having split hooves, but personally I think that's more of an artistic choice. I'll still probably end up putting split hooves on the model though.

I really want to work on my detailed high poly work since I have very limited experience in that area. I'll bring this guy in zbrush and try to make a nice normal map that way.

WIP: Tiny Mage

This is from a WoW comic I'm working on. I really love how the pose turned out. The original pencil is so messy and crazy, but it really gave the drawing a flow that would otherwise not be there. The comic is through the pencil stage and I'm gonna ink it digitally like my last comic. I'm also working on another comic on top of this one, my cousin helped me come up with the concept for it, I might post some work in process of it too.

Pretty Birds

In a futile attempt to delay having to do my homework I'm gonna post some more work I did from my previous semester. Here is a pretty tessellation I did for my final, my teacher said it wasn't a "true" tessellation, but I followed the instructions perfectly. I think she missed the fact that it not a translation tessellation it's a glide-reflect variety. I studied MC Escher's glide-reflects and got the technique of making them from my high school years. This is definitely a tessellation.

New Comic Friday

Here is a new comic I did for the wow comic contest I hope it doesn't get flat out rejected like my last one.

Departure

My cousins left SFO last night to return to the land of gumdrops AKA Germany. I didn't get a chance to wish them a proper farewell like I wanted because I was bedridden. Not that I was sick or anything I was just tired and lazy. I think I officially got one of them hooked on Battle Angel Alita. Speaking of which I now own the entire first series now. The last two books are from a different printing and look a bit odd with the others because they are smaller. I might just sell those and buy the right sized ones. I'm such a nut I can't stand it that my books are different sizes. I'll have to be more careful when I get the second series. I was feeling a bit of a kook this morning and I made this comic. It's got a ninja in it so it's awesome. Anything with a ninja in it automatically makes it awesome.
Tried a weird new style with this one and I'm still ironing out some of the kinks.
