Progress update for clay ninja mini redo

2012-01-05T17:29:00.002-05:00

The previous one wasnt working as smoothly with the rigging and skinning so I ended up redoing the ninja again. Biggest change was reducing the poly count to keep my program from crashing. I also changed the head so that the face is apart of the cloak. Since the maps arent the same now Ive decided to just re texture and do a little something different to the high poly model. Heres the high poly difference

Comic class progress post

2011-12-19T23:59:00.009-05:00

WIPS of my comic class drawings. Were to do a pin up, a cover and 2 pages of storyboarding. I apologize for the blurry images but they were quickly taken from a camera.
For the class I decided to do a short comic of my samurai whos name is Susanoo. Ill give more infomation later on that. Just know he's a pompous jerk.

The monster is a Cajun Crawfish creature!

I had to pick a comic from the stores back vault and redo the front. I chose Thundercats Issue 3 Panthro Stands Alone! http://www.comicvine.com/thundercats-panthro-stands-alone/37-57401/ (Panthro was the best one fyi)
Original cover shot I wasnt happy with

I redid it and Im feeling better with the new. Greg liked it too.

work that wont be in the final model

2011-05-23T14:51:00.005-04:00

I never liked the first pass at the Clay Ninja so I'm redoing/working it. This was the high poly version of the body but its has to be redone completely thanks to the uv map getting messed up when I originally exported the obj from Max.
Posting so I dont feel like all of yesterday was lost...

Yeti Concepts

2010-08-06T02:24:00.002-04:00

The yeti the ice explorer has to avoid/fight....

I don't really want to make the cliche yeti but at the same time fall back into that same character shape I love. ... I can't wait to do the details and colors. Thats where I think the Yeti will shine.
The ones I like have stars near em...

I thought I had it wit the very bottom for a face but its too simplistic imo. The one I like so far has like a ski mask on. Thinking that would go with the idea of the arms
Crit is always loved!

Bah

I drew this a little differently from my normal style. I focused on that grainy old illustration style like the Lewis Carrols Alices adventures in wonderland drawings.

Submitting to Teefury as a t-shirt design. Got a few more ideas in mind.

ONI animation

2010-04-07T12:24:00.005-04:00

Pencil Versions of the characters. I bought some Origami paper and will be using that as colors and textures for the Animation (well everything up to the animating part >_< ).The 3d model I've been working on is for the Oni you see in the line up.

Setting is like Feudal Japan. A group of kids are playing in the woods but find out it might not have been a good idea. At the end we see it was all imagination and that the Oni is the kid with the stick. Their playing Oni /Tag
Big head freckled kid is foreign. Im not sure if its accurate to history but I want to have a kid whos not Japanese in this

My computer woes

2009-10-04T23:56:00.003-04:00

I want to keep this blog really just for my art but this is an issue that I've encountered and is greatly affecting my art
For those that don't know I got 2 months ago a new computer. E 9150T.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5HfRT6nzUs

To sum it up HP has sold me a 2300 dollar doorstop and will not give me what i thought i would get is a computer. Nor will they return my art.

I don't know what to do anymore.
