Rock Girl W.I.P  It is an unfinished work originally done in Jun 24th, 2010 12:00:00am. I recently revisited the work this year (2016) to fix some things that bugged me, like the lack of a background etc. I am still not finished with it, but happier with the changes I made to it.

Screenshot of a ear I made. I think it turned out nice for the first ear I made in Maya.I used my own ear, and followed the contours by touch to get the ridges right, No visual reference.

Lighting and Texturing Class. W.I.P

Overarching Project- Working on lighting setups. Current stage- Troubleshooting

Working on my semester long project- build a scene (which all these models are 3D party sourced from turbosquid (free ones) and 3Drender Challenge... no time in this course to build your own.)

I like the way the light looks in the black and white, the way the windows silhouettes are farther apart, whereas the two in sepia has better render quality. I am having issues with God Rays, and the Transmat/Parti volume box-  graininess and odd color changes to the left wall and ceiling. (the sepia versions are missing a part of the table- forgot to unhide it in these test renders) Anyhow- the scene is a small cramped apartment of a slob (adding more items), where the occupant has left something on the burner that just begun to smolder- hence the reason for god rays (aka "light beams with participating media"). Which will add to the effect of the smoke gathering in the room. 

Eventually, I will be adding smoking effects above the stove as well as textures to reflect the charring from the smoke's carbon...

First doodle of the new year. I have been preoccupied with 3D work.(I will eventually upload….) I needed a small break from it, I miss doodling. spent less than 10 minutes on it. 

Inspired by Robert DeJesues work on his blog, with his toon doodles based on photos, seemed a fun method to brush up my neglected 2D skills…. Thanks man!

(Doodle is mine) model image found via pinterest. You can send me a link to your picture here and I might doodle it. (Note: offensive pictures will be ignored.)

Doodled on Autodesk Sketchbook Pro Tablet Edition (get the current version via the link- I used the abandoned Android version)
