random find

While looking for some inspiration for my Bestival outfit (tho I'm sure you've seen it already) I found this nice wireframe comparison =)

ooooo totally awesome!!!

If your anything like me, at least in a 3D artist sense, you'll know the feeling of always being on the look out for something that would just ooze awesomeness if you built (or in this case wish you could build). And here is my highlight of the week!!



This beautiful piece of sculpture I came across quite by accident during the usual googling for good metal reference images. It is the work of a man called Cory Fuhr and I must say I'm completely in awe! I mean, learning anatomy and rendering it with accuracy is hard enough. But then to craft the human form out of cogs, rods and sheet metal definitely deserves some props.



This is my personal favourite .... but I think it's because I'm fascinated by the human hand =P

New Year means self motivation

My course finished on the 18th December, therefore I have been an unemployed artist for just over a month and I have only just sat down to do actual work. But i'm going with the fact that it was christmas and then new year so I was relaxing and recharging my artist batteries ^_^

I have been messing around with design my website to house my portfolio since I haven't been feeling inspired 3D-wise so have just been stretching my 2D muscles. However after talking to recruitment guys at my college at the bar on Friday night I have had a surge of motivation.

However, it's good to be motivated, but pretty tough when you don't know where to start! As a 3D artist you can make anything, just like an artist. So it's pretty tricky trying to come up with idea on your own, as I am used to people setting me tasks. But I think I have my to-do list down

The first project on my adgenda is to build a treasure chest. I have been clearly influenced by playing to much Tale of Monkey Island the past couple of days =P I have got together my reference material, so we are all set for the modelling process to start tomorrow ... wish me luck!
