Post Apocalyptic Santa

To fill up the void that school going on break has left me with, I tried out this little character competition. I jumped in a week late into the two week competition, so I experimented a lot in what I'd do to speed up production.

Personally, I'm not satisfied with this as a final piece, but when considering my time frame during the hectic holidays, I think this made me more prepared for emergency freelance jobs. I hope everyone had a great and safe time during the holidays!

End of the semester thoughts.

This has been by far my most satisfying semester at CCS.
I have more than enough education to keep me going for years now.
Sadly, I only have three weeks before my personal projects are set aside.
With that, I share two of my personal favorite pieces I've done this year.

Goomba-like Character Design - Photoshop

3D Interior Render - Maya & Photoshop

Over the break I have a plan to learn enough Javascript build a small gameplay demo for Space Temples (more details at http://sommervilleccs.blogspot.com/) in Unity as well as put together a well-crafted demo reel and portfolio template. Also, spend time with my family, of course.

Quick Update

I haven't gotten the chance to update on here in a while. I've been really busy with school, taking 3D animation, modeling, texturing, video, and english classes. I'm becoming very intrigued and involved with character art.
You can check more of it out on my regularly updated Characters and Environments class blog at sommervilleccs.blogspot.com

Mural Update

It's about 7.5' tall and 5 or 6 characters are still a WIP. I'm hoping to have it done just before E3 week hits. Wooo. Also, I'd like to note that I will stop signing my name at this point, if you're here, you know who I am.

Happy Memorial day.

Skeleton

Skeleton study from first semester. Hopefully studying much more anatomy this summer. I hope everyone's excited for the "break.

Have a safe and fun summer,

First Mural

Here is my first mural piece from last summer, the dimensions are 6' by 30', completed in some leftover interior paint, purely for experimentation. It might be a little bit before I start to put more work up here, but this will work for now!
