Bolter

Have been working on this the last couple days.  Pretty happy with it.  Need to do a clip for it, not to mention UV unwrap and texture.

Semester End

Here is some of what I have to show for this past semester.

I applied some criticism I received last week to the model and then unwrapped and textured it.  I am real happy with how this came out.  I used Maya completely for this, which is great as I used to prefer Blender.  Maya is the industry standard so it is important for me to get a good grip on it.  I believe we are going into more depth with our texture maps next week.

Quick shot of the trashcan I made for last week's class.  This week I will have to apply a diffuse texture map to it.

So I haven't posted in forever, I'm a bad blogger.  I have been painting my toy models since I last posted.  Then the holidays happened and I moved across the bay to Oakland.  I am back in school, focusing more on 3D modeling and this is a rendered view of the first assignment.  We were given a photo of a wall to model.  I will be blogging more consistently with this online class as a motivator.

So August flew by. I've redone my website http://chrisloomis13.com and I also joined Instagram so I can share work quicker; my name is of course chrisloomis13. Been playing with inks as well as modeling. Need to set up a way to take better pictures of my work for proper viewing online. Also a friend of mine asked for some logos so I did these up today. Mixed feelings. I've become to appreciate my hand in my work and less digital which makes sharing the work more difficult since I have to get good pictures of everything. Anyways here is what I have.

Sorry, but not really...

Sorry for not posting in three weeks, but that's not to say I haven't been artistic.  I started painting miniatures again, which I used to do when I was in high school.  Started playing Warhammer 40,000 again too.  The new edition, sixth, came out and is good fun.  I will have to set up a photo booth to show them off.  I also found this, http://www.nicholaskay.com/, and I am jealous of his skills.  Definitely check out his art and mini's, both are inspiring.  He has some video tutorials on his youtube channel, so I am hoping I can pick up some tips from watching them.  I think I will be doing more single pieces, rather than the comic.  I also want to revamp my website, and of course continue painting my own army.  Until next time, Ciao!
