Intro To Maya Finals

Here are the two projects I worked on for my Introduction to Maya course. The first one was based off of a photograph and recreated as close as possible in Maya, the 2nd one was derived from a concept piece. I am not completely done with the 2nd piece yet and may be posting a more refined version in a couple weeks.

Advanced Character Design Final

I will post the other stuff I did this term in another post, along with other assignments from this class, but here are the renderings I did for the final. I spent a great deal of time rendering that I sorta ran out of time for the orthographic. If I had the time, I would have also included a few more characters and perhaps other aliens to expand on the universe of the story. "Kelvin 7.7" was 2 random words I put together that I thought would sound pretty catchy (saying it does remind me of anime names).

Ideations and initial crappy sketches:

At this point I was trying to narrow down the topic of this Blue-Sky assignment.

More detailed renderings and presentation:

ran out of time to render the orthographic out fully

Pulled an all-nighter, time for a nap!

Art Center Portfolio

The Art Center College of Design Portfolio I used to get in the 2014 Spring Term of Illustration. These were brought in and organized in Adobe InDesign and printed in color.
