First Lighting Experience

This semester in my Special Studies class, I wanted to try something new and decided to texture and light an environment in Maya. Enjoy!

I downloaded this environment from a site with bunches of  already-made environments for people to practice texturing and lighting. I forgot what the site was though.....

Also, thanks to Kitty's friend Markov for his guidance in lighting and Brandon for showing me the layered texturing on the snow. Hopefully going to explore more lighting stuff this summer!

Mmm... Heads & Hands...

Soooo, I've been super busy finishing up projects and such and disappointedly have not had the time to finish drawing my dogs :'( But that's going to change within the next few weeks after finals (they also desperately need a bath, ha). Today marked one class down and three more to go...!

Today's final was for Heads and Hands. Here a few selections from zee portfolio.

Second Portrait, brother

(The hands are supposed to be a narrative. My brother said the hands look like the ones from Super Smash Bros. Also looks like a movie poster to me. )

On a different note, last night I suddenly had an epiphany for a mini-project I've been planning for awhile; yet, the plan of execution never felt right...until now.  I love that feeling and I'm super excited to start on it! So many plans for this summmmmer :D

GOOD LUCK WITH FINALS and PROJECTS, GUISE. Almost there :)
