Fallen

Pressing on...

Time to move forward and get modeling, this is final front concept of the Shambler that is more in line with what I had in my mind when I devised the character. There are still elements of this illustration that I need to address but as time is against me and I need to get modeling tomorrow i will be picking up Maya and getting busy, before I start modeling I will sit down and plan how I am going to develop this idea into a finished product and plan my time accordingly.

After a disaster....

Here is the beginings of the final front concept of the Shambler, there is still work to be done here but at last it is heading in the direction that is lodged in my head. By the close of play tomorrow I will have finished this one and started work on the other angles (these will not be as high detailed as they are there are reference for modeling) taking into account the back pack.

Do not touch when tired!!!

Ok I have made a complete error and one that should have not happened, to cut a long story down to a medium sized one I accidental copied over a nearly completed concept of the final Shambler design with an older one.....idiot!! Good news is that I only lost 6 hours of work (ONLY!!!) and the image is burnt into my minds eye so getting back to where I was should only take about 3 - 4 hours.

I will be setting off down completion road today with the final concept finished by Monday evening and the orths roughed out ready for modelling by Wednesday, I am just itching to get on with building this horror :)

And here we go!........

Just finished the dissertation and I have it bound and all ready to hand in, this is good news for now I can get back to concentraiting on my studio work and getting the final model done for the end of year but I have some things to do before I move on;

1. finish a final concept of Shambler
2. produce orthographics of Shambler

My intention is have these done by the middle of next week (at the very latest) so I can start to block out the final mesh before taking it into Mudbox etc etc, as I am little rusty with 3D due to the break i have had from it I will play around with it getting all my shortcuts and shelves ready to increase my workflow.

Anyway over the next 7 days I will be prioducing some final concepts of Shambler before progressing further.

Evolving the Shambler

I am making a good steady progress with the Shambler design and here are two of the progressive evolution of him, I do have a new idea for him which I will post up ove th next day or so (in between working on my Diss) and by making a change to my learning agreement I am able to spend more time making this character trully individual and test all my 3D skills including those I learnt last year regarding hard body modelling.

More....

Another quick Shambler sketch, still concentrating on the head and I will do for a while as I try to pin down a more detailed look for him. I am also re-thinking my learning agreement too, not drasticly but a change none the less!
