I haven't been able to post much on account of being so busy with classes, but that only means there's plenty of work to show. I don't have time to post all of it right now, but for now here's a hair card system I did for one of my discipline assignments. It was a real challenge because of the curls, but I love how it came out. I used an odd technique to get their corkscrew look, and I'll be posting a tutorial of it sometime in the future. For now, though, here's just a really quick render of the finished work! This is not the actual head it's going to go onto, but it's the only bust I had done, so that's what I had to work off of. I'll just lattice and manipulate it to fit the real design I'm going to do later.
This design hasn't been approved yet, but I figured I'd submit him up here anyway. If he's rejected I'll have to do another one, but for now, here he is. This is Emmett, my armored angel, heavily inspired by these gorgeous theater costumes I found online. I changed some things about it, but I loved the color scheme and the shapes produced in the fabric and the slopes of the armor. I've always loved this set and have wanted to model it forever, so now I might get the chance. This time I'm going to post each part separately instead of all at once so that you all can actually see the concept design for what it is. ConceptReferencesMy first approved character for GTE! I'll be working on her in the future months and using her for all of my discipline projects. She looks awfully sweet here, so I plan on doing a few more concept pieces to show her darker side, but the idea behind this druid flower maiden is that she belongs to a cult of siren-worshippers that lead stray adventurers to their keep for sacrifice. One of her props will be a bone knife and she will have two variants when I find the time; her gentle, approachable self, and the dark witch she actually is.
For speed reasons, her concept art is just a photo-manipulation that I painted over, as you can see from the references to the right. |
