Mini Maya update

I haven't posted anything Maya related for what seems like an age, mostly because  the stuff that I have been doing has been boring work stuff. However I thought  it a good time to work on something of a personal nature. At the moment I am concentrating on the modelling adding ephemera and nubbins to add life and narrative to what started out as a cute Mini. I need to add some tool bits like a wheel brace, some ratchets for the straps on the luggage rack and then some bonnet straps. Once I have finished modelling the actual car it will be on to the environment. materials are just to get prettier renders than the grey modelling lambert. 

Then uv's and textures, lighting and finally proper rendering.

Mr Tumnus is really pissed with losing his umbrella.

Ruins Hunter

Got this one finished today and I hereby name it Ruins Hunter.

More Digital Paintings.....

I thought I had better get off of my fat arse and post some stuff up. I haven't been completely lazy, a couple of training courses, teaching and a few free-lance odds 'n' sods have been keeping me busy. Thursdays are also life drawing night for me, and I have the pleasure of showing some of my drawings in a currently running show. So all in all quite busy.... oh and I have been dipping back into Maya and Mudbox for some 3D stuff.

This is my current work in progress.... I am hoping to get this one finished tomorrow as I am doing a digital painting demonstration for the UCA open day.

And this one is a master study of Rembrandt, I had so much fun doing this I had to force myself to stop before I got too immersed.

Hopefully I will be able to update a bit more often now.

Giant WIP

worked into this quite a bit now. I would say it is about 90% finished at this stage. Still can't think of a title for it... suggestions more than welcome.

Feedback Time.... Current Work in Progress

 This is my current piece, it doesn't have a title yet.

Any thoughts etc. would be much appreciated

And seeing as the first year CGAA students are doing thumbnails I thought I would post up one of my typical environment thumbnail sheets.

The Bridge - Finished

After getting some feedback from Phill Hoskings regarding the perspective of the background elements I went back and revised it to lower it some. It could probably come down a little more. I'll mull on it a little more.

The Bridge mk 2

I wasn't too happy with the original so I decided to add an other couple of elements.

Also prepped an animated Gif to show the various stages:

Terra Forming

I thought I would take Big Bad Gribbly (see below) back a few stages to where I was blocking out the form of the creature. Using the basic shape that I had at that stage I thought I would see what else I could come up with.
