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.

model progress

So, my idea to do a digital painting every week came to a crashing halt when my tablet broke. Saving up for a new one now, but till then im working on a model of a female figure. She's going to be human but not necessarily realistic, shell be cartoonish. Heres a picture of my progress so far.

First Post :)

So, I have decided this summer that I'm going to practice digital painting. I definetely wont have time to do one per day, so I'm going to try for one per week. Heres line art for the character in my  first one, I'm working on the background now.

Also, heres a few animations from my finals. The first is a swimming fish using cloth dynamics done in Maya 2011. The background is done with Adobe After Effects. The second is is practicing dialogue with the moom rig. The dialogue is taken from Ella Enchanted.
