Quick Update

Here's a little something I did for fun :)

Finals for Material and Lighting

Final for material and lighting!
It sucked because I couldn't render at school since the computers couldn't handle my scene in Mental Ray... Had to render it on my poor macbook! I think it cried a little.

Ask and You will Receive

I've been having a hard time with Material and Lighting class because no matter what I do, I feel like my lighting just lacks. So I did what any struggling artist in need does - get help. I posted my latest project on Facebook asking for critique and tagged nearly everyone I knew. And then the strangest thing happened... people actually responded, with good and useful advice. Honestly, I was surprised with the amount of feedback I got.

I brought the scene back into Maya, re-did it

with the advice I got, added the textures and this is what it turned into.

Amazing what critique can do, isn't it? Thanks everyone who helped

Concept Art

Here is some concept art from a story proposal I made for Business of Animation.

:) Hope you like.

Self Portrait

Got bored the other day and just wanted to do a quick doodle of myself :) Yay for short hair!
I like the way it turned out, except for the fact that now when I look at it, I realize that my bangs are going the wrong way. I guess that is what happens when you draw from a mirror though, haha.

Quarter 7 Update

Hey sorry I haven't updated, I just got so caught up with work and school! Well here's an update. The following are from either my Materials and Lighting. You can expect an update from my Character Modeling class soon.

The wood texture is my favorite ;P
