Drawrerings on the computator-box.

I felt like actually doing something productive after work for once. First one was developed from a doodle I made during work while I was rendering stuff, second one's a newswoman on some episode of Louie that I caricatured and tried to copy the lighting, with limited success.




I'm bad with color. Meh.


And here's a really dumb drawing I did of the Pyro from TF2 in about 15 minutes, at request of some random person on Reddit. Not sure why, I was just bored.

More modeling stuff

An update on where I'm at. I'm pretty far along currently, considering the small amount of time I've had to do this.

All colors are temporary, and the hair needs serious work. I think the beard is going to be done in the textures.


EDIT: Hair looks even worse than it actually is right now from this angle. I know about it, don't worry. Because, you know, I'm sure you were worried.

I Hate Hands

Hands are the worst. They're awful to draw, and awful to model. We should all evolve flippers.

Here's 1 1/2 days work of frustrating work on modeling the hands for my sheriff character. This is the slowest modeling job ever, as I didn't touch it for a month or two. Or three. I'm on month 5 or 6 or something in total.






I'd like to add that I did this without tutorials, surprisingly. Well, maybe surprisingly until you look at my geo. Not sure if it's acceptable.

The Ablogcalypse!

It's been a while, so here's some stuff I've done in the recent past, during rendering downtime at work, and whenever else.

1. Old-timey guy


2. Slightly less old-timey people


3. The Spy from Team Fortress 2, not using any reference.


4. Various heads, 2nd last one is an exaggerated Simon Pegg, and last one an exaggerated Mark Heap (I was watching Spaced at the time)


5. A crazy squirrel-thing.


6. Concept sketch for a Richard Dean spoof/homage digital painting I plan on doing for the r/progrockmusic subreddit. Eventually.

Musicings

HDCwk5update by Ryanimation

An updated song I started recently. It's all MIDI right now, but I've got big plans for this in the future. It's sort of a relaxed but relatively complex beginning half, and it builds to something fairly intense. I don't really have any specific inspiration for the first half in mind. I just wanted something light, but complex. Inspiration for the second half comes from a Sigur Ros/ Anathema (album: We're Here Because We're Here) kind of feel. Sigur Ros in that it builds to a big sound, which I will have strings and piano parts eventually. Anathema more for that post-metal/rock vibe it has.
