Advanced Digital Painting Production Illustration part 1


I have been so happy with the results I've been getting in this class. The teacher really broke painting down into a science and for the first time in a long time I feel really confident. Color version is due Thursday so expect to see it soon!

Advanced Digital Painting Environment: Color Version

Pretty happy with how this turned out! Makes me want to do more environments!

Advanced Digital Painting Environment

I'm really happy with how this came out and Hugo seemed really impressed with it. I blocked out a basic model and painted over it, used a few photos for texture and viola!I really love the cinematic feel of it. I'm looking forward to doing more paintings using this technique!

Week 1 in Advanced Digital Painting


I know I've designed and redesigned AND redesigned this poor character's helmet, but I think Ive finally settled on a design. It's week 1 in advanced digital painting so the instructor is just looking to assess our abilities at this point, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out and look forward to learning more and getting better! As for the design, my intention is for the shield over his face to open revealing a glass cover... as I hope is obvious! It's going to be fun to model and rig!

Lighting and Rendering Final





This final really came together quickly. At first I wasn't feeling it but in the end I wish I'd been able to devote more time to it! I did get some good feedback though so maybe I'll keep on truckin' with it.

Here's an Ambient Occlusion pass of it. I just think these things look awesome!

TOP FUN!

It's been TOO LONG since I've posted anything... but while working on my finals I figured out how to render more efficiently with after effects so I rendered out my final from last term again.



Not SUPER proud of it, but it was a good learning experience and I had a lot of fun with it. Kinda got sick of the song... OH WAIT... NEVER THAT!

Alex as a creature!

We had to design creature makeup for Production Design 2 using photobashing techniques. Here's a creature I made out of my friend Alex.
His request was that I make him into something real cute. He was a little disappointed... but I dunno... kinda cute!

And no one will ever know!

Just a little homage to those hilarious Rage Threads! So fun!

Digital Paint Day With Alex

So I turned my buddy Alex, fine artist extraordinaire, onto digital painting with Corel Painter recently, and wouldn't you know it, the man swallowed his pride and admitted it RULES! The first is a portrait of me by him and then a portrait of him by me.

Gnomon: End of Term 2, Part 3: Triple Header

AND FINALLY, here's the final I turned in for Poly 1, Texture II, and 2D Textures for 3D Art. It's the same plane design from the Surface final modeled in Polys and one of the blimp hangars in Tustin, CA. I'm really happy with how it came out! I'm really getting the hang of this stuff!


Gnomon: End of Term 2, Part 1: My homie Mahoney

Here (all out of order... thanks for the tiny compose window you can't do ANYTHING in, Blogger) are a few of the drawings I did this term at Gnomon in Production Design 1 with the infamous John Mahoney. The color one is my final.
