Crap i forgot to make a thumbnail for the thread!:banghead: how can i do it now?

[PascalR]

Hey Sam, cool stuff, as a general note I would try to get sharper strokes and edges. If you are still planning on working on these you could post them in the wip 2d section.
And you can just edit your first post and attach a thumbnail to it, it should work.

Cheers

Cheers man, looking through my stuff i can see that is a re-occurring theme so i will work towards tightening up my stuff's :beerchug:

I still cant for the life of me figure out how to make a thumbnail though.. maybe its because i didn't load up the pictures like i did with my last thread.. Which by the way did i by accident delete a comment you made on it?

[PascalR]

you need to edit your first post in "advanced mode" and use the attachement manager, upload your picture and that's it.
Cheers

YO! so ive been silently Plodding away and i thoght i might aswell put up some more of my work up :D its also been way too long since ive been on here and had my mind blown by the amazing work put up here:notWorthy:

anywho, heres a few renders from my lighting and texturing assignment at my course. We got given an old lighting challenge scene and a week to texture and light it. I decided to go a bit more grungy than the usual and to try and give it some character..

Cool stuff Sam, the octopus's head transparency works pretty well!

[sam.balzer]

Cheers man!:beerchug: i actually did that one and the octopus chick at a workshop hosted by some guys from Weta a few weeks ago. Im planning on working up the concept some more and then doing it in 3D :drool: lots of pain and anguish to follow im sure.

[sam.balzer]

Ok so Its been a while and I thought I would post up some of the stuff ive done over the year. Ive been a bit disappointed with the lack of personal work ive done but i have been pretty buisy with a few different contracts. I now also understand the pains everyone was talking about with work being so fickle in this industry. None the less I have some free time now and was thinking I would knuckle down and do some projects ive been thinking of for a while... Anywho heres some new work and hopefully more to come soon :D

Great sculpt Sam! I like it a lot. :thumbsup:

[sam.balzer]

Thanks Andrey :D I have been a bit slack on the sculpts as of late but plan to get into a bit more of a routine with my personal work this year.

Here's some new studies I did recently, I was focusing on the rendering/justgettingoffmyassanddoingsomething but that still doesn't excuse how bad some of my proportions are, so I plan to live and learn although i am still happy with how they turned out.
