Riot Art Contest WIP 02

I'm running outta time O.o I'm happy enough with what I have so far so I'm gonna get started.  I know I still have Valor to design but he is gonna be a Bad Ass Harpy Eagle. I don't think I'll be putting very much armor on him, maybe some leg/foot gear and a scarf-esk thing. I have ideals already for her crossbow. I'll be working on that design during breaks.  Colours...yah I'll get around to that too. So much work!

Riot Art Contest WIP 01

I decided I would go with the Forest Curse set. I've grab some ref of haunted/cursed colour palette's to help me when I get to that point. For now I've got her body "done." She isn't gonna be showing much skin so I don't know if it would be worth taking this any further, aside from fixes to anatomy and proportions of course.

Polycount League O Legends Contest

I decided that I would enter the character section and I picked Quinn. Here are some quick rough ideas. When I pick one I'll do the weapon and Valor.

Sword update!

It has been finished for awhile. I've just been lazy about posting it. I've started a new job and I was busy with the test and stressing about about if I'll actually get it. Well I just finished my first week and its been great. Although I been learning how to us Max and its been a little rough, but I hope can learn to like it as my co-workers do.

So here is the sword in marmoset 1 and I'll post renders from marmoset 2 soon.

Valkyrie's Sword Progress

Just finished up the baking the normal map for the great sword which I've named, "The Invitation" which will be the weapon for my Valkyrie character. I've been dancing around the character herself  because i'm afraid to do a bad job, and I'm not totally happy with her armor design. I'm kinda working on other things to try and build some confidence.

The bake is not perfect though. I'm having some normal map issues with the top edge of the blade. When lit from top-down the normal has patches where it seems flipped. I have an idea for how to fix it but I ran out of time today, so I'll have to try another day. Here it is anyway.

Viking Chicks work in progress

I dunno why it is so difficult for me to post work to my blog on a regular basis. I took some time in September to practice my 2d art skills and I'll upload some of my more successful drawings up later. From now I have some work in progress 3d Toons to show. I started her back in August, based off of kmwoot's concept, and then forgot about her for awhile lol. I Started working on here again along with some other projects.

Sketching with Fibermesh

Fibermesh is HARD

This was my Second attempt using Zbrush Fibermesh and its really hard for me. I spend a whole day messing with it and I'm throwing in the towel. Its taken me a lot longer then if I had just scuplted it or organized some planes and it was too difficult for me to do the hair style I originally wanted to do. I really admire people that can crank out some quality work using fibermesh.
