CHOOSE YOUR DYNASTY WARRIOR!

... I mean, choose the outfit design you like for my self-portrait in Mortal Engines theme (the items of clothing can be swapped around). Pilot of an airship, Eastern style:



Whoo, choosing to be a citizen of Shan Guo gives me an excuse to dress myself in a Hanfu-style outfit! Heh. I just love the fact that the name "Shan Guo" is a reference to Sanguo yanyi, aka "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" which I have been obsessed with for over a year now (the Dynasty Warriors games are based on this historical novel).

And my city is now complete!

Blitz lecture, uni and personal work so far

Yesterday we had a visitor from Blitz Games Studios to give us a lecture. I thoroughly enjoyed it, his words were very inspirational to me and have motivated me even more into becoming a better artist. I feel like I'm now filled up with energy and a strong urge to make 20 head models just to get that one good model. I made a head model after returning home from the labs yesterday - which turned out looking terrible as expected, but hey, I'm going to model another and another and another and another.

Here's an update on some of the university work I've been doing so far. I've chosen to create a Balloon Taxi in the city of Batmunk Gompa, from Philip Reeves' Mortal Engines novel. Though overall simple in design (being just a hot air balloon), it has some interesting details which I enjoyed modelling:

8,178 triangles.

2D final pieces:



And some personal work in its current work-in-progress stage. My little obsession with Hanfu kicked in a couple of weeks ago and I've been painting this on and off in between uni projects (critiques are highly welcome).

V for Vendetta 3D model and fanart

So, I recently read the V for Vendetta book and watched the movie... and got a little bit obsessed...

Screenshots of it so far. Still got several parts to fix (especially the area around his chin, man what a mess that is!), and I'm looking forward to texturing it!
















And here's a fanart...
