3D Class Week 07 Bake Maps and Digital Painting for a Prop

Here's my gatling gun all prettied up in Substance Painter!

2D Class Week 07 The Art of Boris Vallejo

This week we have Boris Vallejo for art reference. His style is very similar to Frank Frezetta, especially in the Conan stuff.

2D Class Week 06 The Art of Jim Henson

This week's artist is Jim Henson of the Muppets. I used to watch these shows all the time as a kid. The Muppets Christmas Carol movie is kind of a yearly tradition in my family.

2D Class Week 06 Basic Lighting

This week we had to find... a found... object (that wording amuses me), and we set up a 3-point lighting setup to paint.

2D Class Week 03 Value

 The last of the hurricane Irma assignments. This one is about value i.e. making things pop out and appear more 3D with shading.

2D Class Week 04 Composition and Layout

This is one of the catch-up assignments that got pushed back thanks to hurricane Irma. We learned about different types of compositions and how they direct the eye around the frame. 

I went for an L composition hoping that would be pretty simple and easy to pull off. The creature is inspired from the season 2 Stranger Things trailer, which is inspired by the Cthulhu mythos.

3D Class Week 06 UV and Digital Sculpting for a Prop

This week we UVed our cannons and we took the models we made into Zbrush and sculpted some detail on. I've never used Zbrush before so I just tried to add some wood grain and metal corrosion.

Here are my UVs laid out. I grouped the model into 3 distinct sections that will have their own materials. 

Here's the leg support.

Here's the main gun.

And here's the wheel.
