More than a month since my last post here. I've been working on a few different things, and, now, instead of saving the pictures to create a few different posts, I'll chose the dumber option of dropping them all in this one.(so, beware! huge post ahead) First: Some time ago I drew some storyboard sketches from a friend's short story. As a means to test how fast I could produce the sets to develop a small animation, I've decided to build this scene. I used a lot of assets from blendswap.com and managed to create this scene in a couple of days. Re-using already made objects left a lot of time for texturing and, even though the level of detail is not exactly where I'd like it to be, it somehow convinced me to further plan on doing this. I'll have to do some more tests and plan things carefully if I end up deciding to do the animation. And that includes having to learn how to animate, which probably will tear my dreams apart. Anyway, that's it for now. Here...

latest bunch of doodles

more posemaniacs doodles and a 15 min doodle in blender

some posemaniacs 90 seconds doodles random thing with alchemy and a sculpted wall section.

A couple of doodles with mypaint and gimp. Another head sculpted with jwilkins GSOC branch. The grab tool wasn't working all right when I sculpted it...and I've sort of destroyed the nose while trying to alter proportions with a newer build :( Dabbling with a new toy, Sculptris , I've got to get the hang of it yet, but it's fun to play with. Unfortunately there's no linux version, so I had to use wine to run it. Most of the shortcuts don't work which makes working with it a bit clumsy, but it works anyway...

Violet from "Hogfather" 3 doodles from a sequence I've just started working on

doodles with mypaint. 3rd round, back to gimp.

Some 60-90 seconds poses from posemaniacs Trying to get this painting too look a bit better, I've switched to Mypaint this time. Not sure if it's improved, but, at least, I don't hate it as much as before.

Way out in the water, See it swimmin' It's been a while since my last post, and, I must say that I totally forgotten about posting the final result file of my landscape tutorial even though I said I would do that. So, to repair my mistake, here it is: http://sites.google.com/site/thisroomthatikeep/Home/rocky_terrain_final.blend.rar?attredirects=0&d=1 I've been trying to paint lately, but everything ends up looking like crap. Every brush stroke I add makes the image worse. This is the only half done sketch that got lucky and got saved, instead of being scraped like the rest of my failed attempts. Besides the doodles, I've been working on a new tutorial. Some comments to this video shown interest in the physics settings for the hair, and I had no time to answer their requests properly up 'til now. So, I've ended up working on a hair particles in blender tutorial. It didn't turn out as good as I'd liked it to be, b...

looks like the thing to use these days...
