Antique Phone by Terra-Essence on Sketchfab Lately I've been 3D modeling more for class and I have to say I'm loving the challenge! I made this antique phone as a final project. I even made a short animation for it in which I had to utilize bones and skinning them to the mesh. It was a headache to figure out, but I'm happy with the results. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to texturing so the seams are kind of obvious, but oh well... I'm still proud of my creation 😁

Deviant Art has a nice array of photographers who make their photos available for use if you follow their guidelines. However, here are some websites that also offer high-quality or unique images for any purposes - commercial free!

Just finished a new piece. It's a night scene which I've never painted, but I think it came out decent. I've already posted it on Deviant Art.   I'm randomly taking this Digital tutors class: High-Resolution Game Character Creation Pipeline in ZBrush and Maya .   I'm about halfway following through the lesson while making my own model. Hopefully I can finish and texture it soon so I can post it. School's starting up in a day but hopefully I can keep up with completing my side projects despite my new workload.  

So I discovered my old blog again that I never really quite kept up with... haha... I decided to start it up again. Right now I'm randomly creating 2D digital art while learning more about 3D modeling in general. I still have a visual novel / rpg of the otome variety I want to create (I think I mentioned it already in previous posts). And in those previous posts I had Youtube videos with pictures I painted for said visual novel. Over time I've changed it up and am not going to use any of those photos. 😰 Recently I just got accepted to an online school for Game Art design (SNHU) - I think it should take me about a year and a half to graduate with a Bachelor's. I start next month and I'm pretty excited. 😁 I made a 3D dog modeled off of one of my real dogs from scratch. I call him Explorer Sparky lol.
