Portfolio Submission Fall 2013

So here's my portfolio submission for application to be admitted into the upper division of my major.

Wish me luck. 

Quick Update

 The only decent sketch from the most recent figure drawing session. Oh well. Always press on, and learn.

Quick Post with some more charcoal figures

Nothing incredibly new, just working more on my figures. Nothing spectacular. 

Different kinds of figures

More Figures. Trying to be more confident with my linework and my gesture.

Inspired by Ryan Woodward's Conte Animated

Getting back into painting!

Finally getting back into the groove of it!

Nothing finished as of yet, but hopefully soon

Charcoal Mastercopy

A copy of a work by Russian artist A.E. Egorov. Took approximately 17 hours to complete.

Man Sitting Comparative Study

Below are two studies of the same pose with a slight break inbetween. I wanted to see what differences would arise. Each took approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Figure Studies Pt. 2

More tonal figure studies. Between 20 - 40 minutes. 

Body Tonal Studies

Selection of some of the shorter tonal studies from the past semester

Figure Studies Pt. 1

Some of full body tonal and figure studies. Each of these took between 30-50 minutes.

Portraits of Friends

A portrait of a couple friends from the past semester. The latter is a caricature.

Webley & Scott No.2 Mk 1 Flare Gun, 1918

Modelling Project from the last semester. A World War 1 Flare Gun.

Updates soon!

After long last, I will be updating this blog over the next couple of days. With any luck, all of what I want to put up will be put up, so bear with me.

Shiny New Things

I remember the first time I sat down in front of a 3D Modelling program when I was a sophomore in high school. It was an amazing time, especially given the program was ZBrush, but as time went on I never modeled for fun or anything other then technical renders for the longest time. Now, I am actually iterating things out all the time. 

I have many more things modeled out than just these two, but they are for another time. The top image is the extremely rough version of a fuselage, while the bottom is an almost finished engine, at least to the extend of modelling. I need to do the mapping for the engine, but I feel like it's coming along nicely. 

Grinding Away

It's been a little chunk of time since I last posted, and all for good reason. I've been engrossed in working on 3D models of a small Japanese pocket knife. I really do love 3D modelling and I hope I get the chance to really work on something amazing some day. Below is a quick render of my model without it being really cleaned up.

The final product will hopefully be better, until then, I'll try to keep up with posting some of the drawings I do every day.

ROCKET BOY/GIRL

A slightly andro character sketch. They have a rocket hammer. Yes. Good.

Short 5 min landscape from my head. Poor lonely tree.

Adventures in Junk-a-tude

Just playing around with creating textures with pen in my sketchbook.
