Isla Perdida

Though it looks like a piece of concept art, this is actually a 3D environment; the 'Lost Island' was a piece I created while watching a Tutorial on the web. This was done in Blender.

Exterminate!

Okay, I am a gigantic Dr Who fan. So obviously, once I started learning how to create 3D models, I HAD to try my hand at a Dalek. This was done in Blender, and pretty early on in my 'career'. What's more, this is just a single still from an animation I made - probably one of, if not the very first, animation I created. Certainly the first to include sound and digital effects. Once I find a video of the full animation, I'll post it here.

Greetings Comrade!

This poster was created for my ArtDM 214 Graphic Design class - we each chose a historical design movement, and had to create an informative poster in that style. I have a bit of an anti-corporate attitude after the 'Great Recession', so Russian Constructivism naturally appealed to me for this assignment.

Bang Bang

Another very early Blender model; anyone who starts into game design will sooner or later be required to model a weapon. This is my first attempt at a simple revolver. Desperately tricky for someone fumbling their way around a new piece of software. I had to make and remake portions of this model over and over again to get them right. Definitely a learning experience.

V

I love 'V for Vendetta', so a Guy Fawkes mask was an easy choice for this learning project. This is one of the first 'face' models I tried to create using the 3D modeling software Blender. Like something dug up at an archaeological site, this is ancient history representing my first stumbling steps towards learning how to model.

Rage

This neat little image was created around the same time I composed the Diptych for my ArtDM 111 class; the image of me is one of the pictures I took for the 'Red Rage' half of the final project. I manipulated the photo to appear as if it were a drawing, based on a tutorial I had run across on the web. I cannot stress enough to potential digital artists just how much of a treasure trove the net can be as far as tutorials and projects off all kinds are concerned. I've learned a lot from Youtube videos, online communities, and email exchanges with other artists.

Future Imperfect Prequel

A much earlier, and racier, version of the Future Imperfect design. I was working to see if I could create a faux-neon effect, and it seemed to work pretty well. The light streaks in the back, however, not so much. All Photoshop effects.
