Im back baby!

Right... now that I am nicely relaxed after easter and I feel like I am on the mend (stupid mumps... and tonsilitus.. and flu...) I can actually get down to some serious work.

My easter was amazing, I went to Paris and got to see some great art. I went to the Rodin museum which really excited me. I was really impressed by his loose yet anatomically correct style. Many of the study sculptures were very useful for developing my understanding of the human anatomy aswell as my skill in zbrush as a digital sculptor.

I also got to go to the Musee d'Orsay which was really exciting. My favourite paintings were the impressionists, they were so incredible with colour and putting real emotion into their paintings! In particular I was glad to see Monet's studies of light in different times of day.

At the moment my work is a bit all over the place but I am learning rapidly. I am currently trying out the ruins project for Uni aswell as learning a bit of Unreal. Within this project I have learnt alot about making believable plants and also about workflow. I intend to finish it soon, if only at a basic level.

As a part of the ruins project I am creating a character. At this stage I am simply trying to make a completely quaded mesh that I can use in zbrush. I had one previous attempt at this but it wasn't as successful as I had hoped. This new one is currently completely quaded and I have great hopes for it. I may even enter Dominance War for the last week and see what I can make in that time.
