Our assignment this week was to practice rendering an object with an indoor studio lighting setup. For consistency's sake I decided to use the same vehicle as last week's.

Walker Concept
This is another rendering exercise. I tried to get more into it and really develop something I'd really want to work on.

A couple of new things
It's been a while since I've posted some stuff, so I figured I'd put up some work in progress.
This first one is a concept for a gun that I'm doing for my Gears of War 3 project in my Props and Vehicles class. It still needs some tweaking, but I like where it's headed.
This is an exercise in rendering chrome and different reflective surfaces. I extended a photo that my wife and I took in Moab, Utah, and painted in the rocket ship. It was a time-consuming but kind of fun exercise.

Armored Transport Concept
It's been forever since I've posted on here, so I figured I'd throw up a piece I did this week. Hmm... I could probably phrase that better... I figured I'd post a piece I did this week. Yeah, that's a little better.
I don't often do wheeled vehicles, so I decided to make myself do one to satisfy an open-ended assignment in my Vehicle and Prop Design class (the assignment was to design a vehicle of any kind). There are still some ideas I'd like to see on this, so I'll probably do little bits here and there as I find the time.

VisComm 3 Homeworks
I haven't posted for a while, so I figured I'd show some of my recent homework assignments. These are all for my VisComm 3 class. The first is a painting done over a photograph of a foamcore model (which I just realized is probably still taking up space in the shared laundry room... oops, I'll have to take care of that tomorrow...). None of the model shows, but it was the starting point for perspective and shadow reference.
These are thumbnails done for the image that follows. Some weren't too great, and I really liked a few of them. I might come back and revisit some of my favorites.
This was based on the winning thumbnail. I tried to go for the iridescence of a beetle, and I think it turned out pretty well for my first attempt to do so. It was an interesting process.

You've got a mis-shaped head
Just a quick doodle to flush the homework out of my system. Midterms are gathering like buzzards, so I've gotta do something short-term and fun once in a while.

Quick Portrait Fun
This is just a quick little portrait I sketched tonight to relieve the pressure of homework. It's nice to have super short-term projects like this to remind myself that drawing can be fun. I did this one in about 15 minutes, and it is in no way related to any of my school or work projects.
