Collected Thoughts on ZBrush, Part 2

Okay, maybe Zbrush isn't too bad. Maybe.

Result of the train ride home:

Work in progress; still working out kinks, understanding workflow, and learning things via numerous youtube videos. It's a start?

Also: lolwut feet.

Done.

I am done with you, internship applications!

Sending the last ones before class today:

Ponies and Cowboys

I know now that I won't be sleeping tonight, but here are some cowboys and ponies.

Newfound respect for people who draw horses all the time.  Lolwut horse anatomy.

Relearning painting

It's so...refreshing having all technical based classes this semester, unlike in the fall, where it was all concept all the time!. It's been a while since I touched oil painting, but I've missed it so! I've got a lot of brushing up (ha!) to do, but Compared to one year ago, though, I think it's safe to say I'm in a better place...gotta keep working hard!

Here's an (incomplete) painting of my good buddy Steven and then a self-portrait (hnng--); my mouth looks a little wonky. Both of these are between 2-3 feet tall.

Awesome discovery of the week: ultramarine blue underpainting. Makes 'dem oranges TOXIC (and glowy-like)!

Collected thoughts on Zbrush

Also applicable to other aspects of life. 

(I should probably...go back to actually working in Zbrush.)

M-m-m-maya! Part 2!

This week's assignment was to model some sort of character:

It's a little hard to see some things, but I think the profile looks the best. :] It also had a little bit more detail at one point, but the file got...corrupted. And then bedtime happened.

Can I just say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Maya? Granted, I'm not really making anything phenomenal, but it's just so....straightforward. And it makes so much sense!

I can't wait to to learn mooooaaaarrr!

Mmmmmaya

Learning me some Maya! Check out that sweet lighthouse...awwww yeah.

Now to figure out how to UV map...hnnnng. Back to work I go!
