I Really Do Accomplish Things...

... I just don't ever put them on my blog. So now I'll spam a bit and update with what college has been doing with me. Er, what I've been doing in college.

DINOSOR.ma

In CAPS we've been working on creating a character and rigging it for the first time. We're using the rigid bind process, meaning the character is all separate pieces that intersect each other. I decided to do a fox (heh surprise, surprise), and was then told it needs to be a bi-ped... Darn it Jim Bach. If I wasn't so scared of your fireballs and laserbeams... So JM says "Do a DINOSOR!!" and that became the new plan. Now my raptor is all modeled up at 5412 tris, (a bit much maybe) stretched out, and ready for bones. The skeleton as you can see is all set up as well, I'm just waiting to learn exactly how to do IK handles for all the joints before I can bind his skin onto it. By the end of the class we'll have animated a walk cycle and lip sync (oooh, lips... hmmm, could be a dilemma. haha).

If I Only Had a Brain

She's winking? We're working on busts in Figure Modeling. I like the profile better. Fun fact for people like me who don't know much about sculpting - she's hollow.

Museum Spot

Vine & compressed charcoal in Figure Drawing. Not happy with the class, the teacher, the methods, the teacher... But I am happy with these two pieces. The first was done in class with an awesome model, the second as homework. Kudos if you can tell me where the old man is from :)

This was on my dorm's bathroom floor. Ew.
