ok i know these are not very good , my scanner is wrecked so i've given up on digital work for now , i have started painting with oil so hopefully i'll come up with better stuff

softwares are cool

Jin, that infinite receding dimensional grid stuff is quite nifty. I'll be hitting you up for submissions for the new Lexicon illustration project (see announcement at top of music/art/lit)

Good luck with the oil painting, they have a beautiful life of their own once you start developing the relationship.

yup, that's what it was made for originally

Beacon,
I really dig the recolored version, less gray (which isn't IMO a dominant hyperspace color) and more neon... Very cool. Have you taken a look at the Lexicon illustration project, which was recently announced at the top of music/art/lit? It could be a fun project for someone with your skills.

Art, I'm speechless. Your finished project is going to completely mess with peoples' heads. Super fun!

Fess up, Art, them ain't no two legs dangling tween th'other two. Ya can dress 'em up, but ya ain't foolin' no one no how...

Exceptional - god you are improving! (I still want to see that dude up and dancing though, regardless of what those two extra members really are or how they will look when Myrtle is jigging and jiggling to some trancey vibe beats.)

EDIT: I just replaced my Desktop image from Nicéphore Niépce's earliest surviving camera photograph, circa 1826: View from the Window at Le Gras, to Art's hyperspace throned dude.

Oh, I see. Very nice. If my wallet breaks down, I'll buy one from you. Ever thought about posters/prints?

Yo. Step off, JBark and Skinny G. That's a lady. Don't disrespeck her, bros. Don't disrespeck.

In truth, she is neither man nor woman, so don't go trying to impose your provincial Earthling gender roles on my gender evolved Four Legged Myrtle. She yam what she yam and that's all that she yam. She's Myrtle the sailorman.

Regardless, she's pretty much done here - at least within the context of my class project - although I think now I'll likely push forward and make her a complete environment (either on my own or in an intro to Maya class), and I'm thinking either a baroque looking room with stone walls and floors, or possibly an alien hypernursery. Antrocles is lobbying for a two headed dog at her feet licking it's balls. So many choices, so little time. I'll figure it out as I go.

And I promise you, JBark, before I am through they will all of em dance to vibey beats, but that is a lesson for another day - call it a long range game plan. I will have fully rendered turntable movies up by the end of the week, though, so's you can check her out 360.

yeah, prints are available through my website!

Art , your four legged myrtle is awesome

Trying to upload turntables, but the file sizes are too large. Any ideas how I can go about this?

Is it just an image you are trying to upload?

If you are using windows, you can use the snipping tool located in the start menu, accessories. It lets you take a picture of anywhere on the screen you want to. The file size should be manageable, while still providing good resolution.

No. They're very large Quicktime turntable movies.

Here's a link to two on Vimeo. For some reason they're not very high resolution, though. Even the one I was able to successfully upload in HD loses a good bit in translation. I'll have to figure that out - never done this before, but the Quicktime files are pretty perfect - and you can scrub through them manually, which is cool as hell, I have to say. In any case, I'll probably make another one for the bust with and without paint - but they take forever to render, so probably not today.

So, this, along with the image I posted above a few days ago is my final class project (due tomorrow). She could use another week, really, but I think I'd rather move on to her environment next.

Anyway, enjoy! This was 300 hours of blood, sweat and urine.

It is clear how much work went into this, it is so detailed. The patterns covering everything are so intricate. Very cool!

Art that turntable is stunning...well worth every drop of fluid...great stuff.

great work Art. i've got a ton of respect for anyone who can muster the level of patience and anger management required to master ZBrush. not once in my life have i been so infuriated by a piece of software that i bashed half the keys off my keyboard... so frustrating that such an unintuitive, unfriendly program yields such amazing results.

maybe i'll try again in a year or so.

Thank you, much. That means a great deal coming from you.

This class has been somewhat liberating in that it's let me know that a lot of my frustrations/failures are actually the fault of the software. It's an endless cycle of figuring workarounds that will get me what I want - and without crashing the program, corrupting the files and taking goddamn forever. It's the only card I hold right now so I'm pretty much all in, but yeah, the general consensus among card carrying CG badasses seems to be one of a love/hate relationship.

I think learning Maya and finding a workflow that uses the two together will probably be hugely empowering and allow me to level up pretty quickly. It means starting from scratch again on a long hard road of learning, but I know where I want to get and there's no other way to get there, so it looks like that's where I'm headed.

in progress... an experiment in restraint, wanna see if i can finish a piece without getting caught up in fixing all the mistakes and adding way too much detail.
