Update

I may have been premature in saying I was ready to start blocking colors... :(

I need to clean up my textures :T

Darksiders WIP (3)

OKAY!  Everything is checkerboard! yay!  (Well, I lie... the rocks on the opposite side of the anvil aren't mapped out yet).  I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the idea of using a couple textures for all the anvil rocks, and just moving around the UVs.. 0_o  I guess I will have to start painting out some basics and see how it works :)  But I think it's safe to say, I can start blocking in some color :)

Oh man!  Two posts in one week!  I know!  Crazy.

Working on laying out the UVs.  I'm sure I'm missing some easier way to do this, and i'm almost positive no sane person would individually UV each rock.. even that base alone would take me a day... but it's practice.. and until I figure out something better... it's one by one I go :) [Edit:  I am also aware of the UV resolution differences... I'll even them all out once everything is UVd :) ]

Greetings strangers.  I fail again, and another month has flown by, but my model is close to being finished.  It might be time to start laying out some UVs just to block in some shapes to see how this thing will look :)  Super excited to struggle with the next stage of creation! :)  Feedback is much appreciated ^^

Hello reader(s)... :)

It's been a while since I've posted, and I must say I am quite ashamed.  BUT alas, I do have a WIP to throw on here (since the emptiness was beginning to reflect that of my soul) and just because my ONE SOLE READER inquired me to do so (thank you, I love you).  

This is what I have so far for this scene-- I am having some trouble developing the shapes of the other stones around the altar, so I'm hitting the basic paper and pencil to solidify some shapes to model (instead of noodling around in max-- and you can tell I noodled the stone on the right)...

Concept:

and, that is all for now :)  Check back soon :)  I'll post more WIP!  AND A FINAL PRODUCT! :)

My First Crate

Greetings earthlings!  I have decided to create a blogger with my "finished" assets so that wonderful wizard-like artists could give me feedback, critiques, cookies-- you know, the usual stuff.  It's about time I called this one "done."  It is officially THE FIRST asset that I've ever finished from beginning to end.  It sat for many days, weeks, even months on the brink of being "done" in fear of being "done."  Please, please, please give me your thoughts, musings, feedback, thrown tomatoes!  Whatever it may be!  I'd really appreciate it.  Anything would help, and everything will move me towards becoming the artist I know I will be.
