Summer project!

At the end of uni we were given a list of topics and our summer work involved picking one of the topics and turn it into a 3D scene.

I decided to do the rain forest crash + survivor although it was a tough decision, I wanted to do so many of them! After picking the topic it was brainstorm time and mood board time as well. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to achieve therefore this process didn't take too long.

My idea is to create a scene after a tragic aircraft crash. Only the cockpit remains intact while the rest of the plain has been spread all over the rainforest crash site. Luggage and personal items have been scattered and among this chaos only one person is struggling to stand up. It's a girl, she is in shock but determined to find more survivors, uncluding her family.

I am still developing the characer but I am close to the final outcome. Also, I am looking forward to doing a concept drawing of the whole scene.

Tomorrow I will upload my progress in terms of 3D, see you soon!

Books and art

Today it's been a typical english grey day and as soon as I woke up I just wanted to go back to sleep, curl into a ball and wait for the sun but I didn't feel sleepy anymore so I ended up getting up regardless of the awful day.

While having breakfast I thought of going to the Uni's library to look for a couple of interesting books about colour theory as I struggle in that aspect. It turns out the library closed earlier today so I went into town instead and I bought a nice little book about color and a 3D magazine.

The book is very interesting as it explains how the different colours of the visible light spectrum are seen by different cultures and their different meanings.

The mazagine was quite educational, specially regarding ZBrush which I have never used before and I'd like to use soon.

Therefore I am inspired and intimidated at the same time. There are so many amazing people in this industry...I really can't wait until I can reach their level.

Also, today I finished a character painting I have been doing from time to time during the last few days. It was meant to be a steam punk design but I am not too sure I acomplished that...regardless I am happy with it!

Sun and a little bit of rain

Hi! I know it has been a long time since I posted anything therefore I broke my promise of a daily painting... but the truth is that I went to Spain to see my family and I completely switched off from work which is good and bad at the same time.

While I was in Badalona (Barcelona) I bought a reflex camera and I love it to bits. I'm a completely amateur in photography but I am slowly learning and I think it's awesome.

Here are some pictures I took.

Apart from taking pictures I made a couple of sketches as well:

I am currently woking on my 3D summer project and I will be submiting my progress as I go along! Now that I am back I will update regularly again and keep you updated with my work.
