the Earth - First foray into 3D rendering So I’m finally trying to learn 3D art. Using Blender. I figure that if I want to work on video games I’ll need to know it eventually. Might as well start learning now!  Now I just need to learn Flash. I made this by following this excellent tutorial video from the Blender Guru.  It was probably a little more complicated than something I should have tried for my first attempt at using the program, but I needed to practice at making planets for the next project I’m working on. The result is, not perfect, but promising

Youmi - Suit Design 2013 Design-wise, one of the things that’s taken me the longest while planning out Void Domain eM is figuring out what I wanted Youmi’s “sneaking suit” to look like. Its gone back and forth between being too “busy”, and too plain.  I’m pretty happy with this final design, it strikes the right balance for me. With Youmi’s sneaking suit out of the way, I’m pretty close to being ready to start actually working on this comic.  Hopefully I can use April to get everything else ready (other character designs, scripts).

Oh, Its March

Well, yeah, I missed the final week of Daily Draws. I was a little annoyed with myself at first, but in the end I’m still proud of doing 20+ sketches last month, easily the most art output I’ve done in a good year and a half. Not really thinking of doing anything special for March, outside of getting Neon Sphee ready to release and trying to get Void Domain eM ready to begin as a webcomic.

For April though, I’m thinking I may do a once-a-week challenge where at least once a week all month I make a more elaborate, finished piece of art than just a sketch (you know, inked, colored, etc). We’ll see!
