Sargent Study #6

Another Sargent Study :) I started this before finals hit, got the chance to finish it tonight. I need to work on my values more, so I am going to be doing black and white for awhile.  I had a lot of fun finishing this one off.

Vis Dev Final

Here is the project for my final.  It's based on Ray Bradbury's story "A Scent of  Sarsaparilla."  Its a story of this old couple, Cora and Will.  Cora is really mean and realistic about things, while her husband Will is very goofy and has this love for old things like his attic.  Cora goes upstairs one day to see what he's doing, and Will basically tells her that he took money out of the bank and he's going to this place where he used to eat.  He gives her one last chance to come join him, but she thinks he's crazy.  Will ends up jumping out of the window, and when Cora looks outside, he's disappeared.  In the distance she can see fireworks in the air and hears laughter.  She spends her remaining years just waiting.

I thought I would have more time to do two pieces for resolution of the story, but that didn't happen. I plan on revising these pieces and posting preliminary work soon, as well as adding on two more pieces. If you have any critiques, or suggestions, feel free to post :)

Library Poster

This is the poster I did for the Library, to help promote Affordable learning.  I for got to post it earlier in April, so here it is now.  It was a fun break from Homework.  

Maya Zombie Shots

Been awhile! I thought I'd post some render shots of the progress on my color map for my zombie.  We're in the process of painting weights to import it into Left for dead for the final.  I am hoping I can do some revisions before doing final renders for class.  I am also hoping to post some process work for the Vis dev final soon. Until then I might be MIA till school ends for the semester. 

Study: Sargent #5

The last few days I was working on a project that was due, so I didn't get any time to do any studies. Today I decided to do a value study of a Sargent painting. I need to force myself back into the habit of squinting. This helped me with that. Took an hour and a half to do. I need to do more value studies, soooo next updates will most likely be of that.

Outsiders: Shot 4

Was able to finish this one just now in the morning while working. The face needs a lot more time, but I am gonna try to do some Sargent studies for that hopefully for tomorrow's painting. I am happy though this is done! I love this composition and the colors used in it. Also, I have a busy night of homework ahead of me, so knocking this out of the way makes me feel good :)

Outsiders: Shot 3

Another painting from the outsiders from one of my favorite scenes. My values are a bit too light in some areas. Was fun to paint! it took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to do. I feel like i got some good practice out of this, and now time to go do some HW.
