#Shiptember Sketchbook

So then for September, I drew a bunch of spaceships... then I kept drawing them. Here's four of them!

#MayoftheForce Sketchbook

I needed to make drawing fun so I decided to draw something from Star Wars every day of the month of May. Here are some of my favorites.

Painting in color more betterly

I figured out that after a day of 3d and engine stuff, I can't get myself to do more of that so easily, so I've been doing these instead. Some more portrait studies from Reddit Gets Drawn from the last month or so, taken from photos. I tried not to directly sample from the images, but I did my best to adjust levels and hues after the fact in some cases. Getting better!

Necks are Weird

Did some photo reference portrait studies off of /r/redditgetsdrawn. Occasionally fun stuff!

Tropical Kit retouch

I've been retooling this texture. I originally made it back in March or April, but I wanted to give it the attention it deserves. I've got more to do, but it's come far enough i think it's worth showing.

compare!

June & July studies

Besides work, here's some studies I've done recently. Maybe color soon? Someday?

Phoebe update

Well this one is nearing done. The semester may be over, but now for some serious polish!

Phoebe's Room part 6(?)

And we're coming along nicely! Not many more props left to UV and texture. Then some polish....

Phoebe Update

More Phoebe's room, and rocks

I'm restarting that tree again.

And check out that swaaaaaaag

And totally unrelated, been practicing a rock texture:

Phoebe Update

Stupid Hut

I was looking at a lot of specific WoW reference for this one.

 All one sheet!

I do need to rework it though.

Phoebe of the Wood -- part 2

I compared an early drawing of Phoebes room with a screenshot of Fred's (flipped). Here I was able to point out what was missing and what I needed to fix in Phoebe's room. Her environment lacked any personality, so I'm adding that in now. Also tested out the idea of her room sitting on the forest floor, but I don't love it.

Phoebe of the Wood -- Part 1

Did you know that Fred has a sister? She likes elves. Just started this project, so hang around to see where it goes!

Fred of the Moon!

Here's some Dutch dealin's

I went overseas for the first half of this year. But I'm back soon! Here's some of the work I was able to do.

On this first game, I was responsible for all bird animations, and all the delivered creature animations. creature animations. I'll have a proper reel up soon....

For this level, I was responsible for background elements and additional assets as needed. Doesn't look like much now, so I'll include what it looks like under-the-hood.

Here's all the nodes and information that went into those oh-so-fluffy clouds. I included controls for the direction and the strength of the wind, and also the sky color. It can get messy so I've got the nodes separated out by function.

Of course, outside of class, I helped out with some roommates. One of them requested some work based off the deadly sins. So here's a few of them.

And why not? Have some life drawing:
