RedBubble & Open Tutorial

=Anchuvi — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 07:09:06 PST

I have a couple of things to update you all on...Firstly I have just opened an account at RedBubble.com [link] This is an online shop allowing people to buy prints of my work and also t-shirts which is cool. I hope to get the shop intergrated into this site sometime soon as I plan to do more printable artwork in 2009.

Next...At some point in early 2009 I will be starting what I am calling an open tutorial. I will be creating a new work in progress thread on CGTalk, but this time I will be encouraging people to work along side me so we can help each other and share techniques. Its going to be a bit of an experiment, but if your interested in joining please head over to CGTalk [link] and subscribe to the sign up thread.

The subject of the open tutorial was put to the vote and the community chose this image by Dean Yeagle.

Merry Christmas All!

=Anchuvi — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:00:25 PST

To mark the completion of my latest image, Red Sonja, I have put together a HD wallpaper.

You can go here to download it in various sizes - [link]

Enjoy!

Chilly Willy!

I have managed to do alot on Red since my last update...The model is now pretty much comepleted with clothing and accessories

You can see her here - [link]

My plan now is to leave her over the weekend and come back to her fresh on Monday. I know her face still needs some tweaks, and I need to add some more details in, but hopefully a break will also allow me to see some other fixes and improvements.

Have a good weekend!

Hairy Canary!

=Anchuvi — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:33:03 PST

Ok, here is another update on my Red Sonja character...

I managed to do quite alot on her last night...As you can see I added the hair, tweaked her boobs, added the seams to her boots and also gave her eye lashes...although they are lost a little on this screen grab.

I also decided to apply some basic colours too...these are just temperary though so please, no comments on the shade of her skin

If I get time today I will probably work a little more on her body, hair and face as there is something about it which bugs me...can`t put my finger on what though...Then I guess tomorrow I can start to dress her.

Here is a current screen grab - [link]

Kinky Boots...

=Anchuvi — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:28:28 PST

Time for a Red Sonja update

I have worked more on her body, including resizing her head to make it slightly larger. Still not sure about the armpit though....

I have also added her boots, and when I did I realised I had to reposition her left leg slightly as either her foot was through the floor, or one leg was shorter than the other...Fixed now though.

You can see her here - [link]

I may leave the body for now, unless someone has any major comments, and move onto her hair.

If you want to keep up with her progress please visit my website - [link]

POP! New Project...

=Anchuvi — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 12:19:41 PST

Hi all, been a while since I updated. First of all, as you can see I posted a new image, POP! This was just something quick and fun I wanted to do while working on my cartoon style. It gave me chance to recycle one of my old models (Stylised Female) and build some new "rim lighting" shaders which work really well, as well as try a few different modeling and post processing techniques.

Now I have the foundations I am going to move onto another stylised image, again reusing the tweaked Stylised Female model to save a little time. The subject this time will be a 3D version of an image by "Dominic Marco" titled "Red Sonja" which is not only a great piece of work, but also matches my model.

Interview...

=Anchuvi — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:05:59 PST

Bit of a general update here...First of all I have a new interview up on the web. The Nevercenter guys, the ones behind the great 3D app Silo just posted it here - [link]

In other news, I am swamped with work at the moment so havn`t had much time to work on my own stuff. That being said, when this project is over early next year I should have plenty of new work to show

Few but many...

=Anchuvi — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:56:57 PDT

Hey all, well for a start my new website is up and running and looking pretty neat.

I`ve been working on a few things this past week. My main paying work which I cannot say much about at this time (NDA etc.) but it involves some crazy vehicles and characters. I have also been moving on with my sculpture project. Its nearing completion of the 3D stage, just a few tweaks to tha base shaders before I render out the layers and move into photoshop for some major painting

Here is the current version [link] would love to hear your thoughts...

New Deviant!

=Anchuvi — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:44:38 PDT

Well its been a busy week. I finally got around to using my deviantArt account, and even subscribing. I am finding it a great site for all kinds of artwork.

My new personal website is almost ready now. I have been working closely with a web developer to add many new features to make it cooler and work better.

Onto personal projects, I am working on a couple of virtual sculptures. I decided to concentrate on my modeling skills so these won`t be textured or animated. Instead they will just be posed models. Below is the current version of my first -

My other is a werewolf, but I want to get this one out of the way first.
