Into Mudbox we Go

Here she is transferred into Mudbox, I've added a few warts, but for tonight I think I'm going to leave it there. Will carry on tomorrow, like spiking the nose and curling the toes more. I will also see if I can mould in hairs, perhaps. Well at least I get to start painting Hagatha tomorrow, all the unwrapping i finally complete, it took forever, she is very detailed!! Anyway I am done for this evening, time to go home and get some food and sleep. Night

Saint Jerome in his Study - Model

I have begun modelling a replica of the painting 'Saint Jerome in his Study' by Antonello da Messina. This is just the doorway, I've built most of it by just extruding and Chamfering sections. Once you get the basics down its quite simple, just a puzzle. The awkward bit was modelling the inner doorway detail towads the top. I havent taken a good enough screen image for it to be really visible though. Anyway, this project I will be slowly getting on with along with all the other ones, hopefully will be another small thing to add to the portfolio.

 

The Tutorials are up and working

YAY!! I can progress again, so with Andy's tutorials I've not added eye sockets and a mouth. Not only this but I have smoothed Hagatha out, and she looks awesome, I was a little worried about smoothing her as naughtily i hadnt tested it throughout, but it works beautifully. For my 1st ever 3d character model, I love her. She looks like a witch, she has all the witch features, and I've barely had to tweak my original design, apart from giving her a neck and taking away the hair. Today is much better, I'm so glad to have the tutorials again, it does make the difference. Also just spoke to Andy, i'm now going to seperate the Hat from her head, so it almost becomes a seperate character, I have made life difficult for myself with her chin so much on her chest so I'm also going to lift head more, so this will probably be the last time you see her in a nice position, till i begin anaimtion.

Little ol' me

Yes this is what I used to look like as a kid, always wore tshirts that were way to big for me, along with my my scraggly hair my poor mother used to have to try and tackle every morning. I was a rough and tumble kind of kid, I think this quick sketch somes me up quite nicely.
Could do with some tweaking, but I started to take too long on it, took me an hour as I kept getting distracted.

Practice practice

This was another sketch I did and just finished off, yep this is what I looked like as a kid. I was a scraggly little thing at 5yr
