Mo' City

Spent my 3 hour lab shift adding more small buildings to the planet. I think I'll only need to add a few more and then do some simple detail work on the skyscraper and then I'll be done with the project.

This is the angle the planet is sort of meant to be viewed from when looking at the whole thing:



I thought a view from the top o' the skyscraper might be fun:

3D City Update

So I've been slowly adding more to the city/planet and I took quite a few perspective shots in order to give the city more scale. I also extended the height of the large skyscraper.

Wow a city on a planet!



Let's go visit it!



OoooOooo Ahhhh!



Oh man let's go inside a building!



What the what?! These buildings have no doors!



It's time for the weekend...

Dragon II: Return of the Dragon!

It's time for more dragon!

Made some progress today with the face:



Detail:



So today I:

- Made the fire larger and pushed it back farther so it doesn't look like it's forming at the front of his mouth, haha.
- Added some color highlights around the mouth, not sure how they look. Some critique on that would be nice.
- And I just tried to add shading overall to the lower jaw and face.

I can't believe this is all I get done in three hours >.<

Photography Assignment: Lighting

First photography assignment with an emphasis on lighting:













City Progress

Slight progress on the city planet, I've just added more small buildings.



Street view YEAH!



Once I get all the small buildings in place, I want to add some detail work to the largest building. You know, to make it look all powerful and mighty!

Keepin' It Goin'!

Ever so slightly progressing:



Another detail shot:



I know the additions I've made seem to be minor, so I've decided to make a list of what I did with the dragon/demon/whatever today:

- Added some firey effects around the eye and nostrils
- Started to add color to the horns, well just the one horn for now. I might change the color later, I'm not sure if it's working for me
- Added some light effects around the inside of it's mouth in attempt to give it a bit more depth, not so sure how that's working out right now.

And that's it! In my free time I'll be working on Thorhala for my actual assignment instead of obsessing over this dude even more than I already have.

I'm a bit disappointed in myself for straying from the assignment. >.<
