Sails

Worked a little on texture refinement on the sails. Sleepy now, more later.

Play-Doh

Started blocking in some texture on the airship. Nothing super exciting yet, but it's nice to get a more concrete idea laid out.

And Finalllyyy.... In With the Newest!!

Yay, finally done posting all that old, middling and newish artwork! Woot. Now I can move on with my blog-age and get to some 100% current stuff.

In this case, my Airship!

I decided, very recently, I want to build an airship. I want it to have the look and feel of an older wood sailing ship, with the newer fantastical feel of being... an airship.  =P  After staring at reference, drawing up about a dozen concept sketches, I've spent a little time on modeling it out. I'm aiming to keep it fairly low poly (2-3k) with most of the detail being in the diff texture. Here's a quick screengrab of the model to-date.

In With the New... Daily Sketches, Doodles and Concepts!

I've been trying to upgrade my digital painting skills as I work on upgrading my 3D skills. The reason? Mostly for fun. Also, it helps my texture painting skills and gives me some new ideas for projects. The following is a pile of "that stuff".  :)

Out With the Old... Summary!!

So, to draw the dump of old stuff to a close... . All the stuff in the "Out With the Old" section is art that I feel is outdated and/or no longer fitting my online portfolio. Lots of student work in there. Old life drawings, old hand renders, old concepts, old WIPs that never quite got finished (but still might!!), old 3D renders ... old Old OLD!!

Now... onto the new random stuff that doesn't quite have a reason to be on my portfolio, but is a better representation of what I'm up to now-a-days.  =)
