Little by Little

Progress:

Currently working on the build of the restaurant itself. I worked out the restaurant layout after actually going to a sushi restaurant to eat sushi. It helped a lot.

Tomorrow, I start construction like a mad woman!

Rough Animation

Here's the latest progress!

The models for the sushi character and rice ball are done (they were the ones who needed the most work). I also forgot how much fun making blendshapes was. It was a great reminder, and it's hilarious when you've had a dose of sugar. When I come back from my visit, I'll be starting work on modeling a simple restaurant for the environment. THAT should be plenty of fun, so I'm looking forward to that.

Here is a VERY rough animation with the rice ball character. I'm using the lattice deformer to animate since the characters are simple and more shape than bone structure would do good for. He needs more squish, lots more squish. Other than that, I like him. He's an adorable pirate rice ball.

New Project

Currently working on a new project for my portfolio. I'm going to make a whole restaurant as an environment, and I'm going to animate a piece of sushi, a rice ball with an eye patch and a pair of chopsticks. I plan to make the environment something I can be proud of.

Right now, I'm working on the sushi, rice ball and chopsticks. I'm having a little issue with the UV Mapping, but I'll figure it out and get it all fixed up. I want this to be fun and not stressful, so I'm working at it a little bit at a time.

Here's some progress so far:

More Shoppers Posters.

Now, I'm not a Justin Bieber person, but when you make posters for people, it's not about your likes and dislikes. Despite the content (it's not like I actually hate the guy, I just prefer other artists), I do like how the poster turned out. Aside from the poster, I also made coupons. Both the poster and the coupons were for cosmetics.

Enjoy~

(P.S.) I'm not showing the coupons...Maybe, we'll see.

Awesome Pamphlet

Okay, here's another project I did for work! My manager came up with the wording, I did the images and put it all together. I'm so pleased with how it turned out! This is the cover part of the pamphlet. I did each image by hand using tools in Adobe Photoshop. Each image also represents things and events that happen at the store.

Event posters

These are a couple of event posters I did for my workplace. I'm so glad they're utilizing the skills I have! :)

There's another on the way as well!

New Model

I'm currently working on a new model; this one is of a recent monster I've created. His name is Jericho and he has one eye, pointy ears and a little bobcat tail. He's pretty fun to doodle too! I look forward to have him all modeled and ready for rigging and weighting. So far, he has his body, his legs and feet, his arms and I'm currently working on his hands. Tomorrow after my doctor's appointment, I'm going to finish off his hands, get his head modeled and attach it. I'm also hoping to do some blendshapes, cause making him do facial movement will be fun and expressive since he only has one eye. I think he's been my favorite personal 3D project. :)
