Forest WIP!

Hello all, here's the most recent environment work I've been spending much of my time on. I'm really liking how this turned out, I learned a lot in regards to making trees and branches in 3D and found it to be very fun to do. I'll definitly be working on more trees in the near future for fun. I think my biggest fault in this pic though is the sky, I probably will go back in and make that more believable at some point. I'm also not entirely content with the rocks, especially with the one in the midground that has a strange shadow casting on it. Regardless, I am proud of how this has turned out up to this point, it was a great learning experience.

Run Cycle

Here is a Run cycle I just finished that I am extremely proud of. I'm actually taking a class over at FuturePoly which is a studio ran by employee's of ArenaNet who are amazing at art stuffs. It was a great idea for me to go there and take an animation class so that I could get a different point of view and insight on animations than I usually do from my digipen teachers. This FuturePoly animation teacher is super awesome, I wish I could have more classes with him but I will have to deal.

The Axolotl

Here's the latest painting I've been working on, I enjoy how it's turning out so far. I feel like there is only a little bit of work left mainly on the dudes face here. Anyways, this was based on a story called "Axolotl Eyes". In my interpretation I imagined the Axolotl was swapping peoples souls. So in this picture the axolotl is actually the man and the man is the axolotl. Thus the Axolotl is sad because he will be trapped in this form for a very long time, possibly till death. While the demonic Axolotl can live life freely in his new body.

Luigi

So a few weeks ago I heard it was the 25th anniversary of the mario games. After hearing this, I decided to doodle a Luigi for the fun of it. Enjoy!
