Plodding

Sorry for lack of updating... been working on my major project stuff for uni. I have a few WIP images for you but no renders as of yet. 

I'm working on a model of a demon dog I designed at the moment... above is low poly wire. It's at 3066 polys so far... the majority of them being in that face! I have some cleaning up to do, as well as some form making. Still need to add the feathers around the back of it's head, teeth, tongue and the tail but I think i'm getting there.

 Some more low poly wire images... am so pleased with those paws!! 

Lastly some mesh smooth images for you. Still have a little bit of work to do on him yet but I can't wait to get into Mudbox and start sculpting... I can see myself getting quite carried away...

He's going to be a black/dark grey, thinking primarily scales (a bit like Toothless in HTTYD style) to give him a bit more of a creature feel and to set him apart from looking completely like a dog. Thinking of perhaps adding some scars and war wounds as this guy is guardian of a cave and so has probably had to fight off quite a few people in his time! Will keep you updated with the progress.

Major Project

Sorry for the lack of update, been so busy with uni lately. I have just finished pre production on a couple of projects that I want to share with you!

I wanted to make a greyhound style character and so sketched out a few designs. I wanted to make something a bit more fantasy-like than just a greyhound so experimented with adding horns, feathers etc before moving on to the turn and pre vis. 

I'm also working on a short film of which I had to design a pigeon for. The pigeon was supposed to be a grubby, city pigeon so I did a few quick pigeon studies before moving on to the design and finally the turn.

November

November's sketch dump! Have some Digimon thrown in with a few of my own characters and some life drawing.

It's finished yaaay!

FOR NOW.

Around 15 hours. I had so much fun with this!!

Progress

I worked more on the painting of my dog today.

Not sure how many hours I must have spent on it... another couple this evening I guess. Gonna try to get it finished for next week so I can get it printed! I'm really enjoying this, it's nice to have something to work on besides uni work.

Doodle

Quick doodle of WarGreymon!

I say quick, the sketch took me a while, but I only spent 30mins on the colouring. I wanted a break from uni work.

Again with the painting!

Again, I wanted to practise my speed paint technique so I took a few photos of my greyhound, Ria, and sat down with my trusty wacom.

This is the picture I chose:

And here are a series of WIP's:

I think i've clocked up around 8hrs on this so far... I intend to get it finished in time for Christmas to give to my parents as a present! But I haven't worked on it since the beginning of September because uni has taken over. I'll keep you posted.
