Mermaid Sketch

Here's another render doodle that I did today.  It started as a sketch in my sketchbook from Life Drawing, I just took the pose the model was in and turned her into a mermaid.

Just trying to brush up on my design skills!

Final Life Drawing Portfolio

Here's my final life drawing portfolio for my studies at Seneca!  These range from a few 1-2 minute gesutres, to 30 minute tonal studies.

More render doodles

Just a simple colour sketch for now, the rest of my life drawings will be posted later on this week but for now I just wanted to post something to go with my revamp in my layout.

3D Dragon Sculpt

A post for something 3D!!

For our modeling class we had to design and sculpt a dragon following Nico Marle's style.

Here's my little dragon, sculpted and textured in Mudbox, lit and rendered in Maya 2012 with mental ray with a bit of compositing in Photoshop. 

Anne of Green Gables

This week's render doodle is a little fan art of Anne of Green Gables for an old coworker of mine who's Mum was involved in a pretty serious car accident. She's going to make a full recovery but it's a long road ahead so he put out a request to fellow artists to make some Anne of Green Gables fan art to decorate her hospital room with.

Phantom of the Opera fan art

More rendering doodles!   This time a fan-art from The Phantom of the Opera, Christine Daae, because last week I was listening to it pretty much non-stop.  (The Canadian Cast recording though because to me Colm Wilkinson will always be the Phantom.)

Render-wait Paintings

I'm starting to do painting studies while I'm waiting for Maya to render so here's my most recent study from this gorgeous picture of the highlands of Scotland.

I wasn't going for complete accuracy this time around, it was more of an exploration of the colours in the image, combined with textures.
