DRAWING IN CIRCLES

Jeez of all the stupid weeks to have an important thing at work due. I'd kill to be able to take tomorrow off and get stuff finished in time.

Oh shit I've only got a week left!

I'm currently taking a caricature class online at Schoolism.com from Jason Seiler. So far it's alright- the polished value painting I've been doing for the last two assignments has been actually incredibly informative despite that it's so hard for me to focus on. I don't think the caricature ability switch has been flipped in my head quite yet, but there's vague signs of it.

Here's the current monochrome painting I'm working on for the class:

I'll see all of you in fucking hell.

The game I worked on came out today(ish) at GameStop. I guess it comes out everywhere else on Friday. Store exclusives and all that malarkey.



Woot!

An attempt to tweak the Wacom pressure curve for Photoshop to make it act more like SAI's incredibly fucking awesome pen tool. It's still not as good, but I do think it's an improvement.

Scobot gave me this.

I gave him this:

January's over. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, though I wish I could have setup a better lighting render. Zbrush disables interactive lighting for renders if you use one of their MatCap materials.

Bleh. Gonna try waking up early in the morning to see if I can warm up the ol body before subjecting it to motionless activity everyday.

Been working on something in Zbrush. Haven't had time to paint much. This is a material experiment I tried a week or so ago.

I did this pic awhile ago and quickly lost interest after starting it. Looking back now though it doesn't seem so bad.

Growing up, whenever I'd watch some sci-fi film with an awesome moody synth soundtrack I pretty much fucking melted and got goosebumps and fell in love with whatever movie it was.

Somehow this video Potlan found summarizes that feeling right up.

Garbage Guts on Unit16 made this damn creepy mask
and passed it onto me for the character trade thing

so I made:

I don't think I quite captured that erie feel quite right. But I ran out of time. Maybe it's too bright & saturated. I'm not satisfied.

My scanner of some 8 years is now completely broken, only because I decided one day to go on a scanning spree for 2-3 hours straight. The glue holding the glass up melted off and now puts pressure against the moving parts. I've been having to use my camera- which actually is really cool because you can light the page for mood and have a good base to start with.
