Spindrafts general musing & schtuff

spindraft · 16-05-2009, 11:42 PM

Given I seem to find it difficult to keep my head in a single project very long, I decided recently to MAKE myself not put too much time into any 1 thing. Figure I have a better chance of staying motivated if I keep the '

' phase of projects to a minimum. Such is the freedom of not getting paid for your work right?

As a result of course I should have a larger quantity of various un-related work, & as such will just dump all my crap here, good bad or indifferent.

c&c's are welcome. I may or may not go back and execute critiq's, but regardless they are always useful and informative.

Thanks!

looking good man, keep it up.

spindraft · 19-05-2009, 12:41 AM

Thanks cuban, glad to hear it.

So far tonight. this guys not nearly as developed, though I'm trying to quickly do a whole body piece. Not sure how far I'll take him yet, but we'll see.

bout an hour so far.

Well, this is it for this guy for tonight. Was gonna start throwing some bump on him but the res. is quite lower than what i got used to w/ the busts. So I'll prob. topo & break up the uv's before taking him further.

Anywhoo:

Hmm, looks like photobucket decided they didn't like one of those pics, wth? Not sure what would be inappropriate about it (don't even share my album anyway).

spindraft · 23-05-2009, 06:53 AM

Messed around w/ this guy a bit more this evening. I feel like the back & arms is just kind of a disaster at this point, so i kinda dumped it for later. I think I might spend a day or two this wknd and just bang out a few body sculpts for anatomy practice or something.

Anyway.....

spindraft · 25-05-2009, 01:24 AM

Well, I went back and softened out the back and just re-did it. I'm much more satisfied w/ where it went this time. Also did some work on the abdomen. I kinda like, but I haven't really decided if it's just too much or not....verdict is still out.

Anyway:

Cut the back some more to get some consistency w/ the front & worked on the arms some. Still feeling quite iffy about how the arms are going. Anyway, here he be:

new guy today. Still just a rough, he's at about 530k here.

spindraft · 08-10-2009, 03:31 AM

Been a while.

'little concept I'm working on.

spindraft · 10-10-2009, 04:46 PM

Last nights shenanigans. But an hour.

spindraft · 11-10-2009, 06:26 PM

A quick diffuse & basic 'T' spec map.

spindraft · 14-10-2009, 02:42 AM

So, last night I go to pop some horns on this guy, sculpt 'em up and just about be done w/ it. But noooo, corrupted file.

It's salvageable from some previous files and a little 'redo' time, but uugghh. It's so annoying!

spindraft · 14-10-2009, 04:17 AM

The mess about for the evening. Bout 30min. Edit: Can anyone throw me a bone on how to make a thread thumbnail? I haven't a clue. =/
