Laylina on the Digital Page.

Laylina is one of my characters from my story "A Heroes Tale VII - ZELUX". She is the first one I have "finished" a digital painting of and now I give up!! I have spent too long on this and I just cant make it look how I want it too. So here it is! I have spent about 7-8 hours on it.

Sketching Time!

Well after getting home early and having a little rest I tried another little digital sketch. I actually really like how it turned out. It was meant to be coloured but when I finished it I decided it looked good as is. I want to try painting like this again. I think it gives a really cool effect.

Total time 65 minutes.

I Needed to Paint Something

After my first day back at to work in two months I got home and decided I really needed to paint something. So here we have it, my random painting sketch of a girl character. 

Cheryl the CAT!!

So I decided to paint the cute little kitty that was on my lap!! Super cool. 

Took about 45 minutes.

PHOTOSHOP is BACK!! INTUOS is AMAZING!!!

YAY!! Okay so just about an hour ago I managed to get Photoshop working and was finally able to try out my new Intuos5 tablet. I is AMAZING! Much better then my annoying little bamboo. I haven't used Intuos before so I cant say how it compares to others. But I can say that the touch features aren't that useful. I find It faster just to keep using the keyboard short-cuts for touch features. Well I still love it to bits and find it so much easier to paint on.

Here is a quick sketch I did in 15mins.

Then I did a quick matte painting of it in only 20 minutes!

I know its really rough but I am super tired and I really wanted to test out my new tablet!! Hopefully I'll have heaps of time to play with it and test it out more! 

The 7 Days that stole my life.

Well this has been an insane last week. Monday morning just past was the due date for my character design project. After 7 extremely long days I just managed to finish. I only wish I had more time to make improvements. But I will say I am extremely lucky. Monday afternoon when I got home after handing in my assignment my Photoshop crashed and I've spent the last 3 days trying to get it running again. So I'm glad it didn't crash during my project at least. 

Well here it is, 14 pages of my character design assignment.

Did You See That Unicorn??

All right here's my latest piece of animation that I worked on. Took me about 4 and a half hours. Just got the rough blocking in place and was starting to tweak the timing a bit. Needs a lot more work, but I was just getting some practice in.

Project Final

Well after a long weekend and a few days being capped. I'm finally managing to upload the rest of my last assignment. Nothing too special. Just my progression for my matte painting and my final camera shot.

Final Shot

30 Minute Challenge!! Day #3

Day #3

Inspired by one of my friends class projects of having to model a chess piece I decided for today's 30 minute challenge I would paint one. It was quite simple and I easily managed to finish it in half an hour, but the simplicity allowed me to focus on the values, lighting and form of the image. Which is something I need to practice.

30 Minute Challenge!! Day #2

Day #2
Today for my 30 minute challenge I decide to work on a face. I worked from a photo I found on Google and this time instead of focusing on detail I tried to capture the overall values of the photo. I managed to get further in to my painting then yesterday and I used only basic painting tools. I feel relatively happy with what I got done.
