Blizzard student art contest

my submission for the blizzard student art contest

was fun learning how to hand paint as i went a long, praise God i was able to finish =D but now that i look back at it, lots of stuff i could have done better... but onto the next project and apply everything i learned here to that one

thank you to all my friends and family who helped me through this =D

my major inspiration was my puppy ellie =D who is my little fox

drawings... drawings everywhereeee... not really... need to draw more T.T

only got to work on it for a few hours today, fixed the proportions to match the concept a bit more, friend was kind enough to do a quick paint over to show the proportions, so hopefully i matched it a bit better

fixed the face, and cleaned up the clothing/armor pieces a bit but still lots left to do, and just found out about dynamesh w/ polish @.@ man.... wish i had known about that earlier...

now that i look at the picture maybe push the back in a bit so from 3/4 view her waist area has more of a curviness to it

been doing nothing but 2d drawings for the past few days... went back to do a little bit of 3d  for old times sake... still needs a bit of work but im satisfied w/ it for a days work but need to draw faces more... still having a hard time w/ it

started block out for the character, now that i see it in 3d theres a bunch of stuff to fix up and add some other armor pieces but overall i think the shapes came out ok

been working on some concepting for the polycount contest, first went for an organic theme but decided to switch to a mech theme after playing around in zbrush

concepted out the character, really like the feel of this guy, going to need to flesh it out some more and make the eagle/hawk creature that attaches to the character

original silhouette by some artist, cant remember the name, piece titled red knight

been forever since i last posted but heres an update w/ the character
retopo'ed everything and made everything super clean
still need to work on the cloth but thats the next step
