Just a wee update wi some pics of recent work and info on new techniques and tools I've learnt recently...


Illustration work:

Techno
(Using pencil, spraypaint, photoshop)


Zombie attack

(Have started using photos for reference instead of trying to work out complex poses in my head. much quicker and effective... these are really basic blocky pics but they work. need to try and ink them and colour...)


Backgrounds:

maya character

Started a new project today with Simon, working on an ident for Chew TV. After coming up with a few ideas I've started working on character designs for the final output which will be a mix of Maya rendered environment, 2d drawn characters and final effects...

rough draft of a character:

update

time lost again. wot happened? ach well, time to update...


these are pics from the Maya environment project we had recently.

not really got much to say about this image. its weird. i enjoyed working with the lighting and camera angles to get the final shot but it took far longer than was necessary because of getting used to Maya as a tool. (theres far too much to remember)

the wireframe version of interior showing various polygons and lighting...

although its a bit of a handful to remember all the different tools within Maya I am starting to see how powerful a tool it can be. bring it on!

Just finished this wee animation init




It feels like this has more 'life' in it than other ones I've done before. was thinking about all the principles of animation this time: timing, stretch and squash and overlap...

there ya go. ink in motion

Week 5 - History & Theory

Whoaooaooaoaa!! wadafuck? was 10 mins early for lecture today which gave me enough time to get a bit bacon, sausage and hash brown. sorted!

the strict drink & drugs regime has paid off and I am fully reaping the rewards of a semi-healthy lifestyle. keep it up gabe...

the theme of this weeks seminar was ideology and sumit else which i hadnt read. ideology was interesting (need to think of another word apart from interesting to express things which are interesting)... as far as i can see, ideology is a social construct which is a link between the self-perception of an individual or society and the socio-economic structure itself.

Bouncing Ball in Maya (not the 2012 shit)

Got a ball bouncing in virtual reality... wooooo. It's not that amazing, but you can obviously see where this is leading. Everything starts from something simple I suppose. You need to know the fundamentals before you can get mental with it. Keep it simple, keep it fun. I'm slowly starting to sound like nathan barley, fuck!

here's the ball anyway...
