Famine Horseman WIP

We're sort of in the final stretch for thesis, so that means finishing up loose ends and also means that I've had some time to work on the horsemen shots. So this is a WIP camera move of the famine horsemen,

And here are some still shots of just the sculpt.

Giant Thesis Update

It's been a while since I've uploaded anything here, so I thought I'd do a quick update. A lot has happened in the last few months. I finished fall semester of my senior year and have just started into the spring. So that means I've been working almost exclusively on my thesis project called The Last Judgement. I posted my prepro concept work from junior year for that Here. The goal for the Game Art thesis project at Ringling is to create a concept for a game, a short trailer that gets the idea across, and a playable environment within that world. 

Just to refresh a brief description of the general idea of my thesis is: The four horsemen have been corrupted by Satan and have unleashed the apocalypse, you play as a fallen angel sentenced to eternal damnation. If you can save the world you'll be redeemed.

My thesis partner and I made environments based on the four horsemen, so Famine, Plague, War, and Death. The environments I created were Famine and War, and here they are.

 Since our environments are mostly wrapped up spring semester focuses on creating and animating our characters within the environment. So here's my high poly sculpt for the main protagonist, the fallen angel I mentioned before.

And here are some notable assets I made for the thesis last semester:

Catsu!

Senior year started yesterday so I figured I should post my finished summer 3D project. I decided to leave the environment that went with this character for another time.. So I'll probably work on that during winter break or just whenever I have time again.

Some sculpting for thesis

I've been working on some personal projects and modeling/uving my mod kit for war for a little while, but I'm sort of getting the generic pieces over with so that I have a base to build on if I want to get more detailed/complex.. None of that is very exciting. But I just began sculpting the base for our corpse kit. I've been focused a little more on the face, and not so much on the body yet but I'm happy with how it's coming along. I think he needs to be quite a bit thinner. Any crits would be really helpful if anyone is even looking at these process books at this point. 

    

Here's my original concept and some ref from walking dead I've been using for the decay around the mouth area/sunken in eyes. 

Summer projects!

It's been a while since I updated this, but I've been having a productive summer so I thought it would be fun to do a little update.

I've been doing a lot of illustrations just for myself over the summer, was a great relaxing way to detox from the stress of this past year of school.



Here's an example of that, a portrait I did of Mad Eye Moody as a request by one of my DA watchers. You can see more at my tumblr or Deviantart.

And here's very early progress on the environment I started! It's going to be a little ramen shop. it's a small personal environment to finish before I sell my soul to thesis for the next year. VERY early on in the process, still modeling, I should probably wait a bit to share but I suppose it's good to get feedback at all stages and I'm pretty excited about it. Going for a plants vs zombies Garden Warfare stylized look which is new for me.

End of Junior Year, Thesis Concept Art Dump

Junior year is over! I can't believe I'm heading into senior year this fall. Anyways, I thought I'd update with my concept work for thesis. Making this stuff in 3D and UE4 is going to be my life for the rest of the year.

Here's all of my concept work for the characters, props, enviros, etc. I posted some of it before, but certain things have been updated or added.

The Last Judgement

Finished DGA work for the Thesis Idea that my thesis partner and I will be doing next year called "The Last Judgement" about the four horsemen of the apocalypse taking over.

Here's the power point pitch further elaborating on the idea.
