Hey, how's it going? I just watched Bourne Ultimatum today, is that movie INCREDIBLE or what! I should have used the time to study, but it was worth it. Btw, your Bourne rendering is looking great! Be waiting for the final version!
Bourne's out late this month in Australia I think... The darkness character is actually the big one that looks more like a frame..It looks like this "闇" (you can't really see that typing can you, :s) Anyways, what did you say happened to the veritech???? Nooooo! Crap does happen. :( So you're doing Psych eh? Must be awesome! (Compared to my genetics major, gaaah!) Yeah, I agree with you on the entertainment factor of it, I guess (for me) if you're stuck just doing illustrations as your first option it'd be kinda dull. Lol, I just realized that I've been spamming your guestbook! Sorry!
Indira~* Gotcha- makes total sense, is the dark character the one at the bottom left? And yes, Bourne as in Jason Bourne and I absolutely LOVE this trilogy as well- I've been reading the novels too and am hoping that they decide to produce the newest installment out this summer(after Ultimatum). They even have a game coming out that looks pretty dang cool. The purpose of my Bourne character was basically to study the Normal map features in Maya 8.5 and Mudbox. I basically want to get good at creating low poly characters that look very detailed and high poly but render fast (game type characters). My veritech fighter might not make- I think I lost it on my portable Hard drive so I might have to redo it- YUCK!- Oh, and Your welcome for the signing, it's nice to have someone to keep in touch with that has similar inspirations.
Heya, is that Bourne as in Matt Damon's Bourne? Wow, I love that trilogy! I can't wait to see the latest one when it comes to Australia. I am SOO waiting to see the final render!
PS: Thanks for signing my guestbook! On "The Other Side of Me", the left character means "light", there's actually a big "darkness" char. there, but you can't really see it clearly. ^^
Aw, you're too generous in rating my piece, lol. Thanks! ^_^ I probably won't be updating my cgportfolio for a while.... I'm currently working on a collaboration, plus practicing male anatomy (that I won't post here coz the guys I draw look gay :s), goodness it's really hard to draw male!! :( Oh yeah, study load won't make it any easier either *sigh*.
Meanwhile I'll practice structuring female face a lil better and hopefully getting to know machineries as well! I could learn a lot from your veritech images. I'll be watching your gallery! ^_^ Talk to u soon Carl.
I highly recommend AKIRA, this is the one (aside from Robotech of course) that turned me onto anime in the first place- 3D is a pain, takes time to learn and there is no instant gratification- this is why I frequently revert to my other medium but mainly because I'm still a Noobie in the CG realm. By the way- with your style I'm sure you could get mecha down eventually- the graphic novel to Appleseed is the tool I used to get mecha somewhat down- it's half originality and the other half is imagination- and from the looks of things you've got plenty of both.
Ah, Robotech, who's not familiar with that? However, not so much with Akira. :s I should probably get some enlightenment on it. Honestly I always envy people who do 3D, it does seem mighty complicated for my tiny brain to handle (oh, and I suck at drawing mecha too). T_T Btw, thanks for the praises, I just got a sudden energy boost from them. ^_^
Enjoy your week off, and I'll be waiting for your next post! Veritech fighter, hurrah!
Indira Ischwara~ Commissions are nice and so is the freedom of being a hobbyist as I am as well. Are you familiar with the animes Robotech (not to insult as I'm sure you are) and Akira, I'm working on a 3D of a Veritech Fighter and Kaneda. Going to take a week off though to do some Oil Painting and Airbrushing. Well, I will definately keep an eye on your portfolio and website and FYI you have a great Commercial style and I imagine I'll be seeing your work either in a game, anime or Manga book-
