First monday of spring break and....BAM!

Most students on spring break go to Cancun, Florida, ...basically somewhere warm.
well i wanted to go to OUTER SPACE!!!
Getting ready for my 3D classes next quarter!
Enjoy!

Spring Break...needs to be warmer like last week!

Well its here,
after 11 weeks of purely general education classes, i'm free for a week!
Things I've done this past quarter.

1. I have a whole new outlook on the history of art. From cave man times, Ancient Greece and Rome and so on. Buildings and Landscapes inspire me.

2. Psychology made me think about myself more as a person. The reasons why i am myself to day. A nice, friendly person to get along with. (and shy haha) Makes me feel better about myself knowing i grew up in a good family and having good friends.

3. Can't forget i got into my major after being in school for a year learning how to draw :)

4. Made new friends, lost old ones. But that is life. People come and go. I'm just glad i can make new ones and people like me for who i am, not who they want me to be.

5. Increased my skills in 3D modeling, getting ready for the next 2 years. They are going to go by fast. cant wait!


My Classes next quarter.
C121 Character and Object Animation
ENG2510C American Literature
GAD101 Introduction to Game Development
GAD132 Animation for Game Art
GAD220 Principles of 3D Modeling

Prepare for awesome updates.
In the mean time, i plan to get more work done on the Air-Missile launcher this week and just relax!

Abstracty!

I still have a lot of drawings i haven't uploaded to my blog so i had time today to quickly update it.

This was my first abstract drawing, i got a A+ on it :)

Stop and Smell the Roses...

Spent this week relaxing before finals, clearing my head and smelling the flowers. Literally!

Went to Phipps Conservatory in Oakland and it was amaaazing! Every room was something different. Felt like I was in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
But you cant eat the plants!

Had a great time.
Thanks for the tour Cynthia and Cameron!

Inspiration Maybe?!?

I tested out my photo taking skills this week and where not better to test them than PITT! lots of cool buildings. The architecture is just amazing. Tried some panoramic effects on the photos.

I need a spring break too!

With 2 weeks left of this quarter i've basically been super busy finishing up my work for my classes. Studying for finals and hanging out with friends who are on spring break now >_<. BUT, i wanted to update my blog and not forgot about it :)
So lately ive been working on this Airframe Launcher. It is very high detailed so this is going to be a long journey!! Had a couple problems that slowed me down but i conquered them and ready to take on more!! So this update isnt really detailed because im still learning as i go along.
Enjoy and tell me what you think :D

First image is my reference, last 2 are my recent renders.

Also!, check out www.headsetandundies.com and sign up to the forums if your interested in Games and Art. If you need any help, im sure the guys there will be glad to help you with 3D programs and Photoshop!
Post your work. You'll be seeing my work there as well.

Slow Weekend!!! But still productive!

Basically its near the end of the quarter at school and all my finals are due soon.
But i haven't been lazy!!

Been watching training videos from the subscription i got from school.
Making a Board Game for psychology class.

So i must get good grades in my General Education Classes in order for me to continue making awesome art!

Next Quarter is going to be awesome!
All Art related classes....except American Literature :P

/cheers!

My attempt at High Dynamic Range.

Worked on this in the past. figure i would update it to my blog.
I dont think i hit HDR that well but still looks cool!
figure i would keep it with the cool environment scenes.
maybe this weekend i'll start doing props for these environments and keep building them.

Warm Weather, Warm Weather...AHH TO WARM!

First of the month of March and with warm weather thinking in mind, I wanted to do a warm desert scene!

*Is that pool I see all the way past those mountains?*


added this image to show the texture i had on the mountains. going for a sandy effect where the wind has blown some of the sand off.
