Not originally how I envisioned this scene going but honestly I think I prefer this. Got one more shot to go before I return to the character modeling trenches! #3dart #characterart #scifibooks #animation #blender

Getting next shot lit and some of the basic stuff in it all blocked in. Gonna work on texturing and a few shaders tomorrow then should be a quick job to do the camera work!

Things are coming together faster than I anticipated, which is great! Struggled a bit with animation, which is to b a expected. I have no doubts that I'll come back to this shot and tweak it a dozen times before this project is over.

First three characters added to the opening! There are three more characters who are supposed to appear in this shot but before I get around to MAKING them, I'm gonna go ahead and do a lil work on some of the other shots that have just these three.

It's always rigging problems. Thankfully it's all looking good now so let's get to work!

These last couple of character models certainly posed their own unique challenges, from making and rigging wings, to getting rigs to play nice with each of the new models, but we finished them up! Next few have their own problems for me to face but I'm certain I'm up to the task!

Finished up the second character model for this animation. Been getting side tracked by work and some other stuff, but HOPEFULLY should be able to focus some more time toward this over the next few weeks.

First few character heads sculpted (and bodies too but those aren't seen anyway). Heading into the first rounds of retopology for them a lil bit tonight and into tomorrow!

VERY early sneak peak at the trailer for my next book. Still some stuff that I need to add to this scene but I'm so happy with how it's come out so far!

Remaking my book's logo from scratch just for a single trailer? More likely than you'd think

Test render for some "foliage" I made for a little animation I'm working on. Final version's gonna use more of a toon shader, but I figured it'd be nice to see it in it's full glow

The original map for Rondo of Revolution was a lot more difficult to read and bloated with scifi-technoclutter. Decided to strip that all away to make something that both felt like it fit the world, and was easy to read!

A complete remake of 5028's galaxy map. I wanted to increase the readability and add some more clear color coordination between the governments and their systems.
I also wasn't a fan of just using stock Milky Way assets and so set out to draw the galaxy by hand!

I realize that I never posted an update on my last picture before I dipped for vacation. Haven't worked on this as much as I should have been but here's a current progress pic!

Genuinely insane the difference a couple months of practice makes.
Given it's been a year since Nocturne of Souls released, I wanted to redraw Dalia and Y'ALL??? I knew I'd gotten better but seeing these two pics side-by-side made me a little emotional ngl

I was never happy with William's hair post Sonata, so I decided to go back and redesign it! In the end, I made it slightly longer, a little messier and overall just more fluffy! (also new rendering style practice!)

More new concept art for my last scifi book, 5028: Nocturne of Souls:
Nine. One of ten Soulless Commanders, specializing in weapons RnD. Once a close friend of Dalia Fitz, how will she fare when her closest ally turns coat on the faction she's given her life to?
