Original intention was to create six illustrations, four of which are the following paintings, the other two being pencil renders. One of those times where you feel like you have plenty of time - none of it being wasted, until you have no time left. So I shall be doing them post-scholarly, and just for myself. Which sucks, because my grade may suffer a bit for it - but I do feel like my work this time had a whole level of planning behind it which I hadn't achieved before. Now the issue is to manage time enough so the planning pays off better.

Finished the Maya version of my Nautilus to a level where I'm happy to hand it in, but I will polish it a bit more before I animate the thing. not happy with the bump map and why some textures aren't showing properly (numbers on the rudder aren't showing in these renders for example).

More 20,000 Leagues stuff, only really like the ship. Far too tired to explain further than it's the Nautilus.

Pics of my Nautilus in 3D, made in Maya, obvious WIP. Sorry about the low qual on Alex (beaver) who is in a Disneyish style, Private First-Class Keith is in Hanna–Barbera style, Vlad (my fav) is in a generic Eastern European style. I'm not showing my last one. It's terrible.

My working processes of my big multi-class project based around re-imagining Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". Good fun.

for the lack of posts, almost finished my year at polytech, just a week to go. I will share all my stuffs in the coming while. But for now I'll just show you what I've been doing:

Oh man, been way too long. I apologise. Just got back at school after a week trip to Wellington. Was fantastic and I love you all!

Have to apologise again for the lack of updates, basically just been focused on animation during my art time and actually having a holiday when I'm not. I had done a bunch in the past week though and just didn't update, but that's below. Struggling with enjoying this one, but that probably means I have to persist with getting it right and finally liking the end result. Damn rock textures!

Hey all, sorry about the delay, consarn'n tech work 'n all that. But now that the bulk of it is behind me, back to regular painting updates. Would have done a bit more but I am so hilariously tired I think half an hour is enough.
