Here's the first:
For this project we were told to find a fairy tale of some kind and create a photoshop image illustrating the tale or a scene from that tale. After searching around for something good, I asked my friend if she knew any fairy tales and the best she could do was refer me to a Brazilian legend about Boto. These Boto are actually a kind of dolphin that were said to live in the rivers of Brazil in this legend and at night they transform into men and go clubbing trying to seduce women. I found the concept so amusing that I had to go with it. The result is my Boto Bond piece above. Enjoy and critique please!
Second:
This is the first experimental product of my fooling around with a program I've known about for a while but just barely got excited about. Zbrush is used by so many professional studios that it makes my artistic mouth drool. I attended a 5+ hour demonstration at a high school half an hour from here at the behest of one of my friends from school, and I have to say it was totally, totally worth it. Two artists from ID Software and one freelancer currently working on Iron Man 2 came to show us a few things about the program. (ID gamers might be glad to know that Doom 4 is in production)
After watching these guys work with this program I knew I had to get my hands on it. It's more of a digital clay sculpting program than it is a 3D modeling program as I understand it, and it's just fun. I got it at it's whopping 40 meg size and started messing around with it. It's quite a lot of fun, even though I don't know what I'm doing and using a tablet is still weird to me. I intend to keep learning this program and creating some fun models for my own amusement and eventually actually paying for the program. (whistles)
As always, enjoy and critique!
