The Room Continues

So I'm basically done with all the textures except for the stairwell (note the pink :P). I'm going to adjust the others more tomorrow in class and add the lighting; hopefully Miles will forgive me for showing him the finished project so late. :(

Class Sketch

I've sketched this dude before, I'm thinking about using him for my 3D model. It might be too complicated, but who knows, I'm still deciding.

Super Duper Pre-Good Concept Art

Here a couple more (BAD!) sketches I did for my environment. The purple junk is supposed to be some sort of corruption that's spreading across the planet and the second one is just an experiment with how a small river/stream area might look. The other one is just some sketching I did of how the corruption could travel, I was trying to make it look like a hand or something. :-/

Obsessive Weekly: Battlestar Galactica

It's 4:30 AM, I just finished playing a lot of WoW, and now I'm writing a blog post about my love for Battlestar Galactica. I truly live in the realm of geeks, nerds, and gamers. And, I am happy to carry these titles. :P Anyways, on with the Obsessive Weekly-ness!!

My boyfriend and I have recently become completely entangled in the web of awesome that is Battlestar Galactica. I'm talking about the re-imagined series, mind you, not the original series from the late '70s. Great acting, and even better writing, have kept us watching for three seasons now. Unfortunately, the show was canceled after it's fourth season so we don't have much left to watch.

Anywho, whenever I start to really enjoy a TV show or movie, I almost always find myself scouring Google pages to find some concept art for the show/movie. I actually wasn't expecting to find any concept art for Battlestar Galactica, but there it was! On this website I've never heard of.

These are some concept pieces for space ships for the fourth season:

These pictures were actually among a large gallery of concept art from different sci-fi shows and movies. Check out the full article here.

Oh, and just in case anyone who reads this likes Battlestar, check this awesomesauce out:

I would've voted for him! :P

Interrogation Room Progress

Alright, so since I saved over/lost quite a few of my files it's taking me a bit longer to finish the environment assignment for 3D modeling. :[

The progress shots are just of the table, light bulb, and folding chair. I'm still going to adjust the textures for all three of them quite a bit.

Yeah I decided to break the light bulb because interrogation rooms are intimidating, and there's nothing more intimidating than a broken... light bulb... O.o

Anywho, thanks to Cody for helping me out so much yesterday! Pretty sure the UV map for my folding chair would have exploded without the help. :P

Aw crap I forgot to write my Obsessive Weekly post at the beginning of my lab shift! I'll do it later, it's about Battlestar Galactica!! *nerdgasm*

Obsessive Weekly: Shinerai on dA

So I definitely forgot to do an Obsessive Weekly post last week, but that's ok because I found a really super cool artist this week!

He is Shinerai of deviantART, I stumbled upon his gallery when I was looking for some dragon reference images. What I enjoy most about his work is his amazing use of color with his creatures. I found myself staring at one of the character reference sheets he made for at least thirty minutes, they're so beautiful and well thought out.

Here are two reference sheets he made for original characters and a digital drawing:

I do not own these images, they belong to Shinerai!

Six Hours Later

So today I made all of the UV Maps for the interrogation room. I'm kinda freaked out that it took me six hours, is it supposed to take that long? :-/ Then again this is only my third time making UV Maps, but meh, at least I got it done right?

I'm a bit worried about the maps I made though, I'm not sure if I mapped them out correctly.

But anyways I'm going to post them, even though they're blank, just so I can tell myself that I actually did something today. :P
