Prop Designs

About halfway through Motivarti; here's some of the work I've been doing. My mentor is Craig Elliott (website here) and I've been learning a ton from him! I definitely recommend checking the program out. I'll write something longer about the whole program when I'm not so sleepy. :)

Colored sketch

Took an old sketch and colored it for practice. WIP? Not sure, but moving on.

Mariel Zagunis

My favorite Olympian to watch, US sabre fencer: 3-time medalist with 2 golds under her belt from Beijing and Athens. Unfortunately she didn't medal, placing 4th overall—though she did carry the flag in the opening ceremonies, which is pretty sweet. Fingers crossed we'll see Zagunis again in the next summer Olympics!

I'm still trying to find a way to color my drawings. This turned out okay, though it still feels all over the place.

I Like Turtles

Did this a month back for a CGHub creature design contest... a healthy reminder as to why I need an underdrawing. I want to tweak it up but NO! Gotta move forward! In other news, I've finally moved into a new apartment and my desk is all set up! The past three months I was in a nice but tiny place while we waited in between leases, so most of my stuff had to remain packed. I have space to work now, so here's to a productive year! I've been sketching quite a bit, so there'll be more stuff very soon. It's been an exciting few weeks all the same—waiting to hear back on a mentorship program I'm pretty jazzed about. Fingers crossed!

Life Drawing 2012-06-15S

Something else I did! I've felt my figure drawing muscles getting soft, so I've started going to Schuler School. I wasn't expecting a costumed model, but it was kind of cool! Still want to find a place that does gestures though - this was 1 3 hr pose.

Slugger

So the game project that I've been working on for a few months now has finally launched on Kickstarter!


Kickstarter Page Slugger is the first game that will be created by a brand new Baltimore startup studio called Pretty Weird. You can visit its homepage here: There are a ton of super talented people working on this, including some of my classmates from MICA, Yao Li and Pio Canlas. We're really pumped about this, and we need all the support we can get, so please donate a few bucks and let's make this happen!

More 3D: Tables, Snowy House

Some things I've been working on, mostly to try and figure out polycount shortcuts, and also to see what can be done with just one normal map. Hoping to get back on my much more frequent posting, sorry!
