Final Illustration 1

This week we did final Illustrations which should include three concepts we examined this semester and be based off of an artist we referenced.

I used lighting, composition, and perspective. I was thinking of Frank Frezetta while drawing this.

Art of Boris Vallejo

This week we looked up reference of Boris Vallejo. I like half of his stuff. It's just seems like some of his art has odd detail on the characters compared to the environment.

Paint and Bake

This week we baked the low poly model with the sculpted model in substance painter. Then we painted it with different layers, generators, materials, and particles.

Basic Lighting

This week I worked on 2D with 3 point lighting. I picked an Alien egg from my desk and used the lights Diana brought in. It was really difficult trying to use the blackish greenish shadow.

Composition 1

When I started this I imagined a sword in a mound of dirt.  Doing nice line work is tuff for me so I tried to keep everything blurry and used gradients to guide the eye in a form of cross composition.

The Art of Jim Henson

This week we found reference from Jim Henson.

Cannon Part 2

This week I added more polys to the low poly cannon and did some sculpting in Zbrush. I felt like I needed to redo the low poly model since it was taking too long to do the high poly pass. So these images will look a bit different from last week. While in Zbrush I was picturing an old cannon weathered by the sea.
