Awesomeness!

Some of you might already know about this, but apparently Autodesk gives away free downloads of its programs to anyone still in school or currently unemployed: http://students.autodesk.com/. The free software includes the newest versions of Maya, 3DsMax, Mudbox, Softimage and loads more.

Of course these are for educational use only and the license lasts for 36 months, but still not bad for free :) .

Red Head

Drawn from life, 2 hours in photoshop. I feel like I'm getting faster (yay!), but I'm still struggling with the same old bad habits :P .

Brenna

Painting done from my friend's wedding photo :) . It really is a lot harder to draw people you know.

Edit: Eye color corrected as suggested by the painting's subject. I think it looks much better now.

BB Hood Progress

A paintover of my roughly textured model. Mostly was just trying to figure out how the hair will go and trying out different color options. The hair and eyelashes are painted but the skin is basically unaltered polypainting.

After taking a long break from working on my character I'm getting back into it again :) .

Magenta

Done from life, 6 hrs. I think I'm getting faster at these but still feel like I could have pushed this one further.

I know, for a subject named Magenta I didn't use much of that color lol.

Nikita

Quick sketch, done in a little under 2 hours in photoshop. Unforunately I hadn't set up photoshop yet, so a lot of time went towards that. My first time having a ex pro-wrestler as a model :) .

Ziggy

...otherwise known as my favorite three legged cat :) .

I had a good vacation, but I'm back and will my best to be more productive/update more often.

Above image done in 1hr, painted in photoshop from a photo. He really does sleep this way lol.
