Just a bit of an update from what I've been up to since last time I was here. Too long ago.

This is some of the stuff I've been working on at university, some concepts and others 3D models. The concepts below are for a concept art module (the eel-like Dragon) and a group project to make a game respectively (The Man in the Mouse Suit). The game ended up being terrible and unplayable, but I'm proud of my input.

I've also been working on 3D stuff too, but I'm most proud of this guy, a modified Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Knight. This guy was a bit of a challenge as a first step into doing a fully rigged and animated mechanical humanoid. I learned to hate IK limbs in this project:

Oh and there's this guy too, a Spartan Assault Tank I did for fun. Turned out to be incredibly frustrating, but I'm happy with the result.

So I did some more work for university, and the brief I had was roughly to build an environment from a choice of themes, one of which was Lord of the Rings, so I gave it a go, since I haven't done anything Tolkien-esque in 3D for a couple of years. Ended up being the Ered Luin, using BFME2's campaign and (less than subtly) the mines of Moria as a reference. I'm pretty happy with it, especially since I managed to do it in a very small time frame.

Oh and I did a Last of Us 'Infected' as well.

Blood for the Blood God, mate.

Meliora and Infestissumam are where it's at. He Is has been my go-to song for ages.

Probably one of the more... exotic renditions of Beethoven:

So... you still only added shaders? 

I'm a terrible arachnophobe too. Like, awfully terrified of spiders. Never stopped me making one.

In that case though, try another insect then. Centipede, bee, ant, beetle, etc. They're largely made out of very simple basic shapes which can be made to as detailed a degree as you see fit, which is why I suggest it. Try it, it'll help your understanding of 3D.

Just most of the highlights of Game Art year 1 for me:

Also considering at some point doing a rough walkthrough of how I did the 3D art stuff for some of the newer members here, for interest's sake.

Times change and all that. Hey there y'all.

Hey all. Thinking I'll probably post my first University year's stuff soon, but in the meantime, the Dark Mechanicum grow.

Cerastus Knight Atrapos (WIP)
Two Blood Slaughterers (one finished pending base, one unpainted)
Krios Battle Tank (finished pending bases)
Magos (finished pending bases)

So I might have a few more Tyranids than last time I posted about these.

Good album. 

Fantastic start

Eh. It's not awesome.

You win this round
