Development of bookcase textures

Bigger version here –> http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/060/b/3/Learn_from_my_fail__Bookcase_by_wikivic.jpg
I put together a progress pic of all of the different versions of my texture painting for the bookcase – all in all I think this is about a week’s worth of painting >.<;
I love looking back over my finished projects – you can almost see the cogs in my brain [...]

Bookcase Texture Paint

by Wikivic on 26 February 2010

Bookcase Texture Paint

EDIT – forgot to say! The top square is the size I painted it at and the lower square is the size that’s actually used on the model ^_^
OK so this might make up for yesterday’s cop-out post of non-current artwork.  I just finished this texture paint which has not only taken today to complete, [...]

2009 Jiman Entry - 'Solar Powered'

Not really new, but as I hinted at bits of it as I was working on it last year, I thought it would be good to put a link to the final version up at some point (drawing a ton last year that I never uploaded at that time can count for today’s drawing, right? [...]

Perspective 25

30 mins, reffed from http://x-horizon.deviantart.com/art/Red-Stairs-don-t-Cry-29741123
Wow, that was my longest break ever from DD I think ^^;  ~says sorry to self~  But I have been working hard on arty stuff – just 3D rather than 2D ^^ (plus, I killed my shoulder muscles using the tablet for long hours in a crap position so I couldn’t [...]

Wonky heads

Wonky heads

Would you believe these were copied from an anatomy book? Looks like I lost all ability to simply copy something and have it stay in proportion when I did these >.<;
Profile views of the human head are a real bane of mine tho – I’ve never really clicked with them and mine usually come out [...]

More torsos

More torsos

I’m afraid a lot of the stuff from me this week is going to be topology-based.  I’m working really hard to improve my female base body model so have no time for drawing anything that isn’t related to that at the moment ^^;
Also, I’ve got a lot more movement in my shoulders now (yay!), but [...]

Torso-tastic!

Torso-tastic!

Studies of poly flow in the torso for 3D modelling…I get the feeling I’m going to need to do a lot more of these before I understand the topology completely ^^;

Blacksmith character thumbnails

Blacksmith character thumbnails

Initial ideas for the blacksmith character’s outfit.  He’s going to be big, burly and old, with a giant beard and a utility kilt! (I can’t wait to make a character who wears a utility kilt 8D )

Male character random thumbnails

Male character random thumbnails

I had it in mind to design a blacksmith as my second character to model, but I also brainstormed some other random ideas in case anything jumped out at me…tho nothing really did, some of these are just a bit silly XD

Pirate girl outfit development

Slightly bigger version here –> http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/032/3/e/Pirate_Girl_Deveopment_by_wikivic.jpg
Haven’t quite decided on her final outfit yet.  I’m liking the middle corset and boots actually, but will be getting a second opinion before moving on ^^
Next up for her should be the front and side views for me to model from.  I’ve got an idea of the colours I’ll [...]

ManyMany Pirate Captain/Princess Outfit Thumbnails, Pt I

Sorry for missing a few days ~says mainly to herself~
(erm…I haven’t posted in a while, so here, have an essay ^^; )
It turns out that spending an entire week furiously trying to learn to paint textures by re-doing things over an over again until they look better is good for learning painting…but 8 hours a [...]

Old Wood

Old Wood

Some wood I painted as part of a texture I’m working on for a 3D model of an old bookcase. Turns out it doesn’t work very well as a texture so I’m re-doing it, but I still kind of like it (plus it took ages to paint o.o; )

Perspective 24

45 mins, no ref link tho
oo… nearly half way through the perspective paints! wow it takes a while to do a series of 50!
Urgh, spent too long on this one, had 1 or 2 false starts as well…bleh.  But I guess its the pushing on thro the difficult ones that makes you improve…come on then [...]

Sci-Fi 2

Sci-Fi 2

35 mins
Hmm…second sci-fi pic with a road as the main focus…must try to think of something different next time.  Don’t really like this one at the moment, would like to do something a bit less wonky and more balanced next time…I guess I’m still coming to terms with speed painting something random without any refs [...]
