the keeper textures

I dont know why i havent put this up yet but through my course in University i helped out with textures on the film 'The keeper' which is a lovely film created by Nuria Valdeon. My task was to texture the interior of the building to help match the 2d style. Here is a picture of one of the finished rooms which has been beautifully lit by scott yorke. any comments are welcome.

Little Girl WIP

So i've been on and off modelling the girl i drew before. Ive not been as steady on it as i've been trying to find a job since i finished University and struggling at it. Ive managed to get myself some part time work in a bar which will keep me going for now. Ive been jumping in and out of maya and zbrush to get the main shape of the girl but once i get the full body shape i will jump into z brush for final adjustments as i will have the topology from the model in maya. I still have to figure how i'm wanting to do the hair and what program to use for it and the same with the dress. I also need some adjustments to the trainers for the straps. Any advice would be great.

Just some more concept art i did in photoshop. Ive been doing a lot more sketching in my sketchbook but unfortunately not got access to a scanner just now but will upload them when i do. Heres a little girl concept that is a WIP still do to do a quick turnaround of her so can model her. Ill update you with more of this project when i finish it.

Finally loaded the Final

So here is my film from the degree show. The character was modelled for our previous project Aero-sault by myself but due to inner complications we could not complete this project. So i decided to recycle this character and start from scratch. Everything apart from the character was made in a time scale of 5 weeks before my hand in. The time scale was very ambitious but I managed to get their i the end with help from some fellow class mates. Watching it over i see lots of problems but overall im happy with the end results with the conditions the film was made under. I only wish i had started this idea at the start of the year which could of gave me an extra 6 months to work on it but hey ho you life is all about suprises and deadlines. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to give me feedback negative and positive please. The link below will guide you to the film.

Concept

So im trying to regularly update my blog as much as possible and practice my drawing skills. I ve been watching a tutorial online which starts off with a black silhouette then you paint on top of it. Im slowly getting it but i feel it will take a while to get anywhere near the stuff this guy is pulling out. Anyway this is a quite sketch i did today as i have an hour before work. I'm still experimenting of trying to find what brushes give me better results. I also need to work on putting more effort into details which i feel will improve my future drawings massively. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

2D

Ive been focusing on 3d a lot recently and it has taken effect on my traditional drawing skills. So ive decided now to start drawing more often which help extracting information into 3d aswell. So keep an eye out in future for more concept sketches. These took about an hour and im progressing i hope to in a couple of weeks start to see a difference once ive had more practice. My idea is to practice my speed in jotting down designs.

Some more experimental sculpting and finding my way

Just been messing around again with Z brush till i get more familiar with it. Im happy with my progress though. I'm just looking into more the anatomy of the face as such which will take me a while to get but ill get there. I call this Red Indian as i felt like sculpting something with face paint on it. Any comments please feel free :)
