monday mug shot 04

Here is the mug shot for 6/20/11. Modeling time came in at around 5.5 hrs which is a little quicker than the last one. I had some difficulty with geometry flow around the mouth that slowed me down. Also I had meant to add hair to this one. As you can see it didn't happen today. Maybe I can add it later in the week. Also I will be gone on vacation for the next 2 weeks so there won't be any updates. I will still try and keep up with questions and comments though.

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. I'm getting faster so yay for progress. Mug shot 1 took about 2.5 days, #2 took around 1.5 days, and this one I did in just under a day (1 day = 8 work hrs). I also feel that the quality is improving. My hope is to start doing weekly full body models in the near future as well... but we shall see.

greyscalegorilla - the creative gap

I watched most of this presentation by Nick Campbell the other day and found myself going back and jotting down some notes. I consider this a must-see for any designer. For the full post head on over to greyscalegorilla. I especially took note of "make something cool every day."

Here is part 3 of the Lightborne Creatives moleskine mural. The artist is Neil Smith, a Senior Designer at Lightborne. Below that is the comp of rounds 1-3 together. I forgot to mention to Neil to keep the left and right edges clean so of course he went above and beyond and filled the entire 2-page spread. I'm not complaining though. Props to Neil.

This time I'm actually posting the Monday Mug Shot on Monday. Imagine that! Still no working wacom though so no sculpting work on it. Someday I'll have a tablet again.

monday mug shot 01

I recently found a collection of front & side mug shots tucked away on my hard drive and thought I'd try and do a model every week. This took me about 1 day. Yes, I realize it's not Monday yet. I meant to post this last Monday but it was a holiday and then things just got crazy at work. Oh and my tablet isn't working so I couldn't take it into Mudbox for sculpting... so it is symmetrical for now.
