Duchess color change

Once again I have changed my color pallette on the duchess piece. Charlotte keeps telling me I'm spending too much time on the pre-visualization of the piece and not enough time on the piece, so this will probably be my last update on the layout and now I really need to focus on getting it all modeled. However I wanted to spend more time making it look right now so I can see what it will look like when I go in to do final textures, lighting, etc and I wont have to be figuring this stuff out then. Anyways, I changed the color palette basically because I felt the scene was too warm. It's supposed to be very cold and lonely and depressing, so I changed to a cooler color palette and saturated everything a little more.I also added in a rainy background, because whats more sad than a rainy day? and I added in a chandelier to fill in the upper half of the scene a little more.

Updated Layout for Duchess

So i totally changed the layout of "Duchess". I also threw in some color and textures for fun. I think in the final 3D piece I'm going to make it all realistic looking except the character will be stylized.

Table

Here I have the table model for my Duchess scene. I'm fairly happy with it, but I think I need to fix a little of the geometry.

Dutchess

So this is an updated layout for my Victorian lady piece. Also, I have temporarily named the piece "Dutchess".

Senior Year Thesis Project

So for my senior thesis I'm doing 4 CG illustrations and each one follows certain criteria.

1. ultra realistic
2. historical
3. character driven
4. stylized

So far I've decided that for the ultra realistic I'm going to be modeling the Valley Dale Ballroom. I'll post pictures after I get an appointment to go shoot.

For the historical I'm doing a Victorian setup. Everything is going to look fairly realistic except the girl in it will be stylized. It's about a girl who is very rich and beautiful and she has all the jewels and finery she wants but she has no friends and is very lonely.

senior year has begun!

So senior year is finally here! I think it's going to be a really great semester and I'm going to try to post on here as much as possible. Some of what I've been working on for the past month or so, however, I can't put up here as I'm doing it for a client for an app for the Mac and since it's not out yet I don't want to reveal any of it. So for now I am going to put an updated post of the character I started working on in the beginning of summer. Obviously she still needs a lot of work. Besides hair and clothes, I also need to finish her feet (she only has one toe) and give her ears as well as tweak the anatomy a little bit.

 

Here's a smoothed view of her:

Next week I will post up a little about the character and who she is.
