Speedpaint | 1 Hour Fight Club Sketch

My friend challenged me to a 1 hour speedpaint with our theme being based around our favorite movie. This is what I came up with. The first rule of fightclub is, you don't talk about fight club. The second rule of fightclub, you don't talk about fightclub. Getting slightly faster, forgot how much fun digital was. No Modeling Monday today, I had a family emergency and that took precedent over vertex pushing. Something might appear tomorrow though!

Sketchbook Saturday #2 | 7.19.12

Here are some sketches I did this week. I missed midweek sketch sheet due to being quite busy on Wednesday, sorry about that. I'm high on dieselpunk right now, what can I say?

Turntable | Vintage Gas Can

I rendered out a quick turntable of my Vintage Gas Can model so you can see it from every juicy angle. 

Modeling Monday #2 | 7.15.14 | Vintage Gas Can

Here's to the second Modeling Monday! Yeah I'm like 15 minutes late, technically, thanks to a lot of time playing with lighting to render sometime decent looking out. Seeing as I'm on my dieselpunk high, I decided to model a vintage gas can. This is the smooth version of the model, which probably has way to many polys than it should. I still have the low poly version, but it's quite a bit more chunky. Anyways, I spent a day working on this and I think it turned out okay for what it is. Good practice to say the least. There's supposed to be an X on the side, but I have to figure out the best way to do that. I'll probably post an updated version at some point, as well as a turntable.

High Voltage

"SHUT IT OFF, SHUT IT OFF!" A scientist gets more than he bargained when he turns on his super strength robo-hands for the first time. I got inspired after seeing a 1950's picture of a robotic exo-hand. I absolutely love dieselpunk, maybe even more than cyberpunk. My two loves. I will definitely be drawing more dieselpunk in the near future, this was too much fun!

Sketchbook Saturday #1 | 7.12.14

I'm going to be posting midweek Sketchbook updates and end of week Sketchbook updates. So here is the first Sketchbook Saturday! I drew this picture yesterday. I spent a decent amount of time on it, but I enjoyed it all. I referenced an image I found online, so credit due to the original owner of this design. But copying stuff is helpful to learning structure and details.

Birch Tree Test Render 2

I highly encourage you to enlarge the picture and watch the video in 720p to see everything crystal clearly.
I played around some more with my tree trunk material and grass materials and managed to get something a little more natural looking I think. I rendered out a short clip to test my new 'render farm', where I render individual frames on multiple computers. On my main pc renders for this took around 16 minutes a frame and on my secondary pc renders took about 28 minutes a frame. Anyways, I didn't touch the actual texture or bumpmap at all, and I think the results are still halfway decent. Time to move on to other things ha.
