Trinquette Challenge

Here's my process for this weeks Trinquette challenge!
....Yes I know the boobs look weird, but hey I have to start somewhere right???

Sketch, sketch, sketch!

Wow I haven't posted for awhile so here are some sketches from my last 3 sketchbooks c:
Enjoy!

Concept to 3D

Remember my Pizza place concept? Well I built it in maya finally! This was the first time I've ever UVed something and man was it complicated, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.  Plus I added some lighting onto the environment.  Lighting is definitely something I need to work on.

Concept

to 3D

This is for a contest I did for Trinquette Publishing.  Trinquette Publishing (FB)
The contest provides two models to choose from, or you can do both of them.  I just had to draw a scooter for my rendition. haha. Enjoy! They also do these contests every week so expect to see more!

Here is a piece I did for a background design competition with a group.  We had to pick a story and each person in the group had to come up with a design for it.  I chose to do the throne room of our story which is part of the beast king's castle.  It's in ruins but a girl, who was forbidden to ever go in, gets curious and explores the castle.  I tried to do an intimidating background and put more story into the drawing.  Hopefully I portrayed well!

Here is yet... another background! But this time I am modeling this one.  I get to try out texturing and Uv's, which seems intimidating but I'm going to try my best anyways.  It's fairly simple so it won't be too difficult, hopefully.
So I decided to model this background because it's part of a little short animation that I plan on creating sometime.  It's called Pizza Rush and it's pretty much a humorous story about pizza delivery guys.  It's still on the debate for myself if I should do it 3D or 2D though.

EVEN more backgrounds

So I swear this quarter has just been backgrounds left and right.  I don't mind though because I enjoy drawing them a lot now! More to come!

Drawing more backgrounds

Here's another background but this time for a different class.  I had to create a background based on a hermit who is a clean freak and lives in a swamp.

Backgrounds

Some backgrounds from my digital paint class! I really need to practice more on backgrounds o - o Backgrounds are hard but I'm gonna try harder and put more of them behind my characters instead of a plain background.

Highschool Stuff

So I was backing up all my files and I found this! Some of my work I did in highschool. Sadly I don't have all the files since I lost a lot of them from my last computer... (That's why I backup everything on like 3 different hard drives now o - o) Here are some of my first models ever!

This is my first model that I have ever done in Maya... ever! Ya it sucks right! xD

And here is a really creepy room that I did.  I pretty much did this project to experiment with tools and different shaders. Sadly I have forgotten a lot of good tricks -___- That just means you have to keep doing things over and over again so that you can have it fresh in your mind.

And the last project (that I didn't lose) is this very bizarre dining room.  I learned a lot of UV's and textures which was fun. Also some lighting techniques.

I miss the highschool days when I look at these projects, but I'm pretty satisfied with myself that I have improved a lot since then.  I'm looking forward to learning newer tricks and bringing out but quality work. 

Here is a digital painting of another sheep character.  I not sure why I have been drawing sheep characters lately, its not even my favorite animal.  Oh well, they still work I guess.  Also I thought of changing my header so now this will be part of it.

Trying out a new style of painting in photoshop.  I tried a gradient first and then put colors over it.  It was a huge challenge to keep the gradient and I don't think I picked good colors o - o Oh well it was a learning experience and I plan to use this method again.

Faces

Sketches

For 2013, I have made a New Year's Resolution to get 10 X better at my drawings, modeling, animation, and everything else that I can think of! So I'm not gonna slack off! xD Here are some sketches from my sketchbook I did last week.
