Minor update

Just adding update of what I've worked on in my recent spare time.


 Here is an update of the sculpted wood.  Add some finer details.






This pic is of some bamboo that I'm making for the support beams before sculpt in 3d - Coat.

Found something cartoony to work on.

Last week I found this awesome concept art website called http://fuckyeahconceptart.tumblr.com/ .  I really like the setup they have going for it.  Its basically one long scrolling website of concept art.  Click on a pic and it will either send you to all of their uploaded work or their personal websites.

Along the way I found this French artist named Kevin Aymeric.  He has alot of great Japanese inspired artwork in his artist blog.  I really like the way he uses his color palettes to set a mood and his use of pastel colors.  His artist's blog can be viewed at http://aymrc.blogspot.com/.


One my favorites of his work so far is a work called Village Pandala .  I haven't done too many cartoony art pieces in some time, so I decided it would be fun to use Village Pandala as inspiration for my next major project.  For the most part I've blocked out the scene.  I'll render out a top down later.  It's bigger than it looks here.

I'm going to be making this in Maya, 3d Coat and in the Unreal Development Kit.  I've started sculpting a couple of logs to get a feel for how I'm going to give it even more of a stylized look.  Maybe a little bit of a Okami feel to it.  I may even make an animated camera in UDK and make it go towards a demo reel.  So far its been pretty fun, can't wait to see how it all turns out.
