The main thing being the focus of my MA and where I'm going with that, so let's talk through that first - you may want to sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea, you help yourself to biscuits, etc...
So for my previous project I was focussing on AR and making characters out of objects in the real world. I had a lot of fun with this but I'm realising that I really can't get close to the results that I was hoping to achieve. There just isn't an app out there that does what I need and I'm not capable of making one on my own. ): Though it was a fun concept to work on.
So now I'm going to try focussing on a similar thing, just in VR. I still adore the idea of hiding places and little characters hiding where you wouldn't expect, so what I want to do is make a calming forest that you can walk around in, with hidden places to explore. Now this is much more work than my last project, but it's a challenge I'm willing to take. ;)
To do this I also want to get a good grasp of ZBrush so I can make some really nice character models to put in there, and have been learning the ropes with a Low Poly model I made of Pinecone Boy in Maya and imported over. Here's a screenshot that's kinda out of date but turns out to be the only one I have on my surface oops:
He's progressed a bit from there so I'll add an updated screenshot when I get home. :)
Then in unrelated but still-somewhat-related-because-it's-a-study news, here's a crystal study that I painted:
It's been a while since I did a study like this and I really wanted to focus on improving my colour theory, so a crystal was actually a pretty great subject. I learned a lot painting this, so will definitely aim to do more in future!
That's all the visual stuff I have to show for now, but I'm going to be doing some sketches and hopefully some 3D work this coming week, so look out for that if you're interested. :)
That's all for this entry, thanks for reading and have a great day. <3
