3D Tracking | Bench Scene Agrimech first pass

Learning about 3D tracking in my Compositing class. We are finally starting to put CG objects into live action footage! This is just a quick proof of concept to solve the track and be able to place my mech model into the live action world. There's still a lot of lighting/comping/rotoing to be done but the general jist is there. This is gonna open all kinds of new possibilities!

GameJam | Concept Sketches

Here's some very quick, very rough concepts I did for a GameJam I'm working on. Just some quick ideas I roughed out for our little pirate kid and monster..probably won't be used but it was fun to do!

Self Doodle

I know this is on lined paper, but I kinda like how this self portrait turned out. Hat, hoody, and headphones complete me haha. Probably should pay more attention in class, but why would I do that when I can draw myself?

Friday Faceoff #2 | Colossus

Here's something I painted up on Friday, just did a quick faceoff with one of my friends. I decided to roll with a colossus theme, matched the mood I was in. I completely destroyed the anatomy on his right arm, but still, I think it turned out okay. I will practice more anatomy soon. I was also working on composition with just his body, trying to get a sort of figure 8 going on. Good times.

Hand Practice

I decided that I need to start focusing on specific thing and drawing those if I want to improve, so today I spent around 2 hours just drawing hands. Hands are a weakness for myself, I don't particularly like drawing them but I want to overcome that fear so I spent some time trying to figure out forms and and folds and how fingers are positioned etc. It's clear I'm going to need to study the anatomy in much more detail, but I'm happy that I'm starting to overcome my artistic fears and tackling them head on instead.

Acrylic Painting | Bladehead

I tried my hand at acrylic painting again..I think I spent about 1.5-2 hours on this, sketch, mixing paint, etc in total. I think it was starting to turn into a good base for a more detailed pass. Traditional painting is much more difficult than digital, colors don't mix the way you'd expect. Acrylic just basically paints right over the previous color/value you had. I only had black and white paint, so I was just throwing down some value. It was fun and fairly relaxing!

Friday Faceoff #1 | Black Ops Tiger Mech

So my friend and I are starting a new weekly challenge called "Friday Faceoff." We both pick a sentence to describe some kind of design challenge to each other. She picked "Black Ops soldier with a half mech tiger." So I've never drawn a tiger before, but this is what came out of her fun prompt! Was pretty fun to do, though instead of making the tiger mechanical I added a mechanical turret to it's back. I cheated a little. But it was really fun trying to make her prompt into something tangible! Hope you enjoy, and I look forward to next week's crazy prompt.
