Took a break from blogging

Although I don't have many viewers, I haven't updated my blog in a long time and I appologize for this. I have been working hard in school as well as playing World of Warcraft on the side (but mostly school). I sold my Wii so I won't be having a review for Mad World, sadly. It was one of the only games I was looking forward to and I had to make a choice. Since I was gone doing a lot of school work I thought I would share a bit of what I have been doing. Below are a few pieces of I have been working on since my last update.

An early textured version of my dwarf

A redux of a previous assignment that uses a night time setting

Here is a room I textured (I did not model it)

Here is a vest I textured (again, I did not model)

A character I textured (did not model)

Here is a head that I textured (not model) by hand with only Photoshop paint

Here is my most recent character model.

You can see the original sketch guides in the model posts.

Nearly finished dwarf model

Here are a few shots of my nearly completed dwarf model as well as the start of his "level."

More of my model

Unfortunately I have yet to update the body because I needed to start work on his props which is mostly just his hand axes. Here is the the first one which I could just duplicate for a second but I think I will try to make the second one a bit different. The one above is the top view and and below that is the front bottom view.

 

More Work on the Character Model

So this week is the rest of the body for the most part. I have constructed a new, box-modeled mohawk rather than the Hair Modifier because of the rendering time as well as poly count. I have constructed a rough torso as well as hands. The hands might be too high poly for this model but we will see.

This picture shows the new head (I still need to adjust the nose, eyes and mouth  as well as add ears)

This one shows the rough torso so far

And finally here are the hands

Back to Work! *Updated*

I have been really busy with homework lately and I am finally learning how to model characters. Currently I am trying to create a dwarf character with a mohawk. I will try to update my progress throughout. Below you will find the character sheet of the dwarf as well as the update for this week. This week I am working on the head and hair.





Here is an updated view of it with symmetry enabled on the face to see what it looks like in full.

Another Madworld Updated Trailer

The Dark Knight and new Mad World Trailer

Go see the movie as soon as possible. No kidding just do it. I was lucky to get a ticket tonight from a friend who picked one up a couple of weeks ago. It was non-IMAX but I am checking it out in IMAX this Saturday at midnight.


Here is the E3 Mad World Trailer - still looking good and gore-heavy.
