Winter Break Projects

Just a couple of things I plan to do to keep myself busy over break:

• Re-illustrate PRODUCT. It's an awesome 42-panel comic and just for fun/practice I thought I'd improve the art quality. I'll send it to the original artist when I'm done. Here's a preview (obviously I'm not finished with my version):

• Start re-designing characters. I want to swap 2 character's genders and I also want to just take 2 characters that are well known and re-design them. It'll be fun and challenging.
• SKETCH. I never sketch anymore.

The Morrigan

Finally "done".  I'm going to add the details and other fun stuff over break if I feel like it. My goal for turning this in was getting her face done.. and I'd say it's at a good place right now.

Layers & Progress GIFs:

Animation

Made in Maya with my boyfriend as a final project for animation. Most models/rigs were found online (no time to model them myself).

Inspiration

I wasn't feeling very good a couple days ago so I did a quick speedpaint on a ref picture I grabbed a few months ago. I wasn't happy with it (hence; why it wasn't up here) but then I looked at how far I had gotten on the same picture in August and I laughed.

I think the improvement is pretty tangible haha.

Water

 Album cover for a friends mix-CD. What I was told: "laid back, relaxing, watery"

Process: I modified a model I made in Zbrush, then brought it into Photoshop and painted some details, the hair, modified proportions, textures, etc.  I'm pretty happy with  it... it remains to be seen what he thinks.

Alternate version:

Ink Blobs

As a concepting exercise, we had to create ink blobs (which I did in Alchemy) and then use them to create a concept.

And finally, here's what they all look like next to the blob I formed a concept out of:

Sitting

20 minute pose. Sorry for the bad quality, my scanner is too small. I like how this came out. Probably my favorite figure drawing to date..

[edit] while doing gesture poses I saw her true nature for a moment. I don't think anyone else has caught on yet.
