I like this picture =P

I started out wanting to try drawing a tattoo design - it turned out different but I like it x3

It was originally black on a white background when I first drew it in MyPaint but I inverted the colours in Photoshop for better effect =D

Happy mistake,
Cheers

I think I like the smudge tool a bit too much x3

Enjoying the benefits of the smudge tool =D I like the effects it can give =D

Cheers

Photoshop fun...

Okay, I was messing around in Photoshop, trying to create a smokey effect which I ended up making look a bit more like fire - I like it but it makes me think more of the Hunger Games and Witch and Wizard book covers.

I wanted to make the effect more like Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series covers but it doesn't really. So I think I'm going to lie and say I intended to make this image in honour of the upcoming Hunger Games film release; the face was just a happy accident but I'm going to say I intended to draw the face of the character, Catniss in the fire... yeah...

These are the relevant imagery to show you what I mean in this post of drivel, obviously they all have a quality and awesomeness my work could only dream of...

If not anything else I have at least given you a clue towards what kind of books I like to read...

 

Today's update - I'm beginning to see editable polygon points everywhere D:

The decision has been made - I'm changing my character for the 3D character model... I've been working on the fairy character, it was working but it is getting too complicated. I have learned how to model a character from this little project so now it is time to get the practice out of the way and build the proper model I will then rig... I intend this to happen within this next week so stay tuned...

Cheers

Trees make terrible baby sitters....

Okay so the task for our group in contextual studies was to create an animation in the style of Lotte Reiniger. The storyline was to be based loosely around a traditional Russian lullaby,

Baby, baby, rock-a-bye
On the edge you mustn't lie
Or the little grey wolf will come
And will nip you on the tum,
Tug you off into the wood
Underneath the willow-root.


This was what our group, consisting of Ingrid, Andrew, Leonie, Dan and myself, came up with =D

Pretty damn happy with how it went =D I'm stuck between Andrew's tree kidnaper and Ingrid's mushrooms as my favorite aspects... I'm proud of how well we work together as a team =D


Cheers

It rigged!!!! =D

Okay so here is the final rigged walk cycle of my Top Hat...

I'm quite happy with it =D
More later I can imagine...
cheers

On the first day of rigging-a-character-mas my true love gave to me...

... a shot gun with which I could kill myself...


This is too complicated to be trying to learn this early on a Monday morning Dx

But from what I have gathered the process of rigging is long and arduous but if you get it right - you'll reap the benefits when you finally get it all up and running...

This is the character I built in this session, we didn't have time to animate it today so sorry no moving pictures today x3

Anyway,

Cheers  =D
