It's been a long time, sorry about that! Was hoping to be doing more finished stuff, but instead I've been doing a lot more studies, trying to go back and hone in my fundamentals. This was a little exercise in both sci-fi styling and playing with materials. There's a little menagerie of anatomy issues, but I got what I wanted out of it so decided to move on.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08118490683561367420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666598488158443367.post-85578119589615948792012-03-16T20:03:00.002-07:002012-03-16T20:58:47.679-07:00Unwinding<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Needed to unwind a bit today, so decided to go a bit more abstract. </span> I had the pleasure of attending an exhibition of Syd Mead's work, and really gained a much bigger appreciation for him. Like with any artist, seeing the original piece of work is much more impactful and emotional than seeing it reproduced on paper or pixels.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ygj_34rxVfE/T2QL8jeVnAI/AAAAAAAACvY/iGzfMdoHJ1E/s1600/steelganic_web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ygj_34rxVfE/T2QL8jeVnAI/AAAAAAAACvY/iGzfMdoHJ1E/s320/steelganic_web.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I've used sketchup for a number of years, and Modo's preview-render window makes it really fun and fast to figure out your lighting. I'd like to learn Maya so I can actually make stuff in a pipeline, but for underlays, Modo is a nice tool!<br />
The class has however, reminded me why I do concept and not 3d: I spent weeks... several weeks fighting the software. Not just learning how to use it, but trying to make it do what I want- while I enjoy problem solving, it's very frustrating when you are being held back because you need to make the technology think like you.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm not good enough to show just a render of the model so I had to paint over it to make it pretty!<br />

This was 5-6 weeks worth of a single class this semester. It was quite a sprint! I feel like very often at Art Center there's this push to say "I need to do some animation style" or "I need to do some live-action style" stuff, and for once, I'm happy to not decide on a style, but just sit down and draw whatever came out. This is definitely not an exercise in originality or high-end polish, but I learned a lot about myself from not trying to force myself down any one tunnel. Due to the short time frame, this end result as a lot farther behind then where I had hoped in week 1. Can't wait to get out of school so I can think at my own pace again and hopefully start breaking some new ground, mentally speaking.<br />
<br />
EDIT: In case anyone is wondering, I made an enormous error when I did this project years ago- while listening to the audiobook I managed to <i>completely </i>miss the fact that Isaac is, in fact, black, so I had drawn\painted him as white. I took it down until I have time to redesign the character and do it justice. Please accept my apologies for that :(<br />
<br />
Thank you all for looking, I hope you enjoy it!<br />

Learned quite a bit about indicating mountains. Painting the strokes along the 'form' of the mountain is the obvious one, but also how to look for overlapping ridges- by terminating the strokes along an invisible line where one ridge comes in front of another, you can show a bit more depth. It's a basic painting principle, but it took some patience and focus to understand what was happening visually.<br />
<br />
Exciting projects this term: will post the first one in it's entirety in about two weeks or so. Until then! Thanks for looking.<br />

This was done for one of the community activities on CGHub. About to enter my last year of Art Center, I'm looking forward to doing lots of figure drawing. There are lots of issues I'm running into realizing how much more time I wish I had to go the last 3 years. Unfortunately, Ent Design's schedule doesn't make too much room for the workshops :<<br />

Before that happens, I'm going to try and be as productive as possible. These are for the Creature Planet activity on CGHub. Final illustration is still in progress, but for some reason posting it lights a fire under my ass to push it further, so check back soon.<br />

After about week 10-11, fifth term leveled out and became pretty easy. Instead of doing more work for classes or spending more time rendering what I had, I invested more time doing personal sketching and painting. Or watching movies. Definitely ready for sixth term.<br />

Very inspired by all the vehicles and couldn't help but pay homage to the superb "Salvage" section with a down-and-dirty doodle. After detaining the books for weeks, homeland security has finally confirmed the books aren't terrorist training manuals, so you will be able to pick up a copy soon- and I recommend you do.<br />

Hopefully next term I'll get good enough at this stuff that your eyes stop bleeding. Until then, my apologies!<br />

Our classes are on Saturday from 9AM to 4PM, but it seems like it just never lasts long enough. The projects are fun, the crits are amazing, it's really great. Here was our first of two projects this term: A miyazaki movie in an animated stlye- anything from Dexter's Lab to Samurai Jack to Pixar or Dreamworks was our range, so for a large change of pace I attempted to do something 'Dreamworks' like. I'm not happy with the designs still, and the final poses I chose are extremely static, but I can't afford time in term to fix that stuff now, it's on to new projects! I'm going to post the development sketches as well so people have some insight on to how I arrived at the finals: As a final note- there were definitely good and bad sketching days, but I've decided not to edit the worse ones for the sake of transparency. Also, for the final renders there is no 3d used, only 2 or 3 photo-textures to add some insta-realism. <br />

In the meantime, here's an exercise for Color Theory class!<br />
Complimentary palette painting: you only use 2 hues, which are exact compliments, and try to make an image that doesn't look like it's only two hues.<br />

This exercise has been far-far-far more educational than I ever would have thought and has really opened my eyes to alot of things. I highly recommend people to try it out. Here's how to make your palette to color pick from (Make sure to use very saturated colors for your base hues so you get the most range from your palette, something I forgot to do below:):<br />
