Mech project

This is a Mech design I am working n for my demo reel. My reel is going to be more tailored toward modeling and concept design. I like how the project is turning out so far. Obviously there is a ways to go before I am finished. Right now half of the model is completed I still have to duplicate it, put the materials I will design in Substance Designer in place. As well as compile a working video between the phases.

The project is a lot of work but is going to be used for my vehicle portion of my demo reel. I wanted to do it because I figure most people will go for designing a car or a plane for this project, and I think designing a mech will make mine stand out over others. I enjoy this type of work it really allows my creativity to flow from start to finish and not to mention my creations seem to come to life.

I personally think the project once completed will be some of my best work and can only hoe that I am correct in this. So far though I am very satisfied with how it is progressing. I think my reel  will stand out over others if I continue to produce this work.

spider mech concept

This is a project I did a while ago but I liked the way it came out, The image itself is mostly composited images for textures and actual digital paint on top with various Photoshop effects. I liked the assignment itself, the assignment was supposed to be a basic concept design of a background with a subject. Obviously it meets the requirements in every way. Granted they were not difficult requirements to complete it was still my first digital composite/ painting.

The piece consists of a basic background of a dilapidated city that is being torn apart by this Godzilla sized mech. I personally like the tone of the picture it is almost a sepia type tone which seems to give this feeling like this just happened and the dust hasn't even settled yet.

I was proud of this when I completed it because it was a very difficult thing to learn to do at the time. Also for a first piece I think it turned out pretty solid. I have received a lot of compliments on it even people wanting prints done up. Which yes is a little ego boost but we all need one every so often.

The mech itself I wanted to have a steam punk kind of feel with a modern background. Another thing that I think was a success about the piece. All in all it was a good project and I learned a lot in doing it.

Character Ideation

Assignment for My Character Ideation class, the entire assignment was done using Adobe Photoshop. The assignment itself was to take gods from five different mythologies (African, Norse, Greek/Roman, Egyptian, and Hindu.) and draw them in a way that they have not been seen before, I chose the theme of what drug I think those characters would do. I loved the assignment because it allowed for a lot of creativity and I got to create something that I have never seen before.

The gods I chose were Shango, Odin, Aphrodyte, Ra, and Genesha. The drugs I chose to associate were alcohol with Shango, because he is often celebrated as a god of thunder and celebration. Steroids for Odin, which is sself explanatory. Extacy for Aphrodyte because the raver’s motto is Peace, Love, Unity, And Respect. Acid for Ra because who would see a half bird man unless on acid, and Hash for Genesha.
