P99 (correctly named)

I've been finishing off this model finally! Tidied up a lot of the normal maps and added small little details like the nuts and bolts. Built bullets which came out nicely. They add some interest to the image which I'm really pleased about. I can't decide if I prefer the gun with or without the silencer.

I shall be focusing on my 3D modelling for the next week. Hoping to start a new project soon.

Mud & Paint

 

 

I finally have had the time to get back to my Lancia. He's been unloved and neglected for at least a month.

Spent a while adding the paint lines in. As simple as they are, I was being too much of a perfectionist in positioning them and having be correct to the reference photos. I think this second attempt at mud is better but it still isn't quite there. The original rally car is covered in sponsor decals but I decided against them. Most would be covered by the mud anyway. :P

The car has a lot of life and history to it now. Actually feels a part of the environment. I tweaked the shadows and reflections again. I think they're right now.

My next task is to give more life to the muddy road by adding tire tracks and finally recreate some stronger grass textures. I also feel I could do with some bushes to fill out the distant background.

Lost Mariner Work

Here is a few of my favorite pieces from a uni project called the Lost Mariner. It was a very surreal piece based around a short story of a man who had no long term memory. He could however remember how to play chess. The piece was a group project and our ideas spiraled into a surreal chess board monolithic landscape. These are my concept drawings and there is also a 3D render of the environment I built.

Lancia Forest Concept

Concept piece for my Lancia forest. This is how it looked in my head.
The forest is based upon Black Park. I also took a lot of reference photos of Burnham Beeches forest which is a strong influence on this piece.

Xenia Portrat

This is another part for my Goldeneye poster. I feel like my tablet skills are starting to really show signs of improvement with each new portrait I create.

Goldeneye Portraits Continued

Been working on the faces trying to get some life and texture into them. I think they are almost finished. Just need to the get the shoulders of the suit sitting correctly and started creating the other pieces for the poster. I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.
