Character Time

So I figured I'd finally post a couple of characters I drew up.  The First was initially supposed to be a sort of victorian con artist, but somehow ended up just making me think of the Illusionist with Edward Norton.  That's okay though, I still actually quite like the drawing.  I actually ended up handing the drawing off to one of my old teachers, Greg Brown, to "toon" it up as I didn't feel I could do a good job at a cartoony character.

...And then, I drew this today, and, I guess, proved myself wrong.
I'm actally really happy with this one, and am looking forward to modelling it.

Cistern Update

New render of the El Jadida cistern.  A real time consuming process because it takes so long to build a final gather map.  Anyway, enjoy.

El Jadida Cistern

 Been a while since my last post.  Busy, busy, and all that.








Anyway, I`ve been working on this little project kind of as a lighting, and shading test.  Check it out.  Still have a ways to go, but an interesting challenge so far.



Please ignore the disco dance party going on in the shadows.  I`ll be fixing that in the final renders, but its taking a major hit on the render time turning up final gather that high.
