Modeling a fat fox. Very frustrating and definitely not something I enjoy doing. At least now I can comfortably continue to bad mouth 3d animation now that I know my enemy.

fortunately before I went too far with ultra complicated sitting fox, Miles intervened and I modified with simple fat fox.

Thats right I'm not in class. I am, in fact, researching and sketching- trying to figure out what I'm going to model. I mean attempt to model. I fail at Maya. FAIL FAIL FAIL

anyway, though humans are my bag and general point of interest, it would probably be foolish of me to try and model one. SO! I've decided on a small, large eared, fox. aka, a fennec. a cute, simplified one that will calm me in my moments of rage and angst as I toil over it.

so I'll probably be in a litle later after i finish some concept sketches to import into Maya.

final projects

final projects and such----

I'm still trying to come up with a character for the maya class that isnt too scary to attempt. But shall soon!

for concept art I've decided to practice my patience and do a super fab commission that takes days of sweat and blood. Last year some guy requested an original boobs and beasts (and even offered to pay but I shant ask for anything) featuring a short haired brunette with a scary dino. And so! I'm going to do this short haired vixen with my jungle girls in the greatest, most action packed boobs vs beast I've ever attempted.

Hurray!

more adventures of lea failing at maya

box 2.0

now that I know how to texture map, I made a quick forest-y box.

box. I couldnt find the quaky yums or whatever that comes with the tutorial so I just made my own map with a picture from concept art- but obviously didnt pay much attention to the dimensions.

here it is!

lea fails at modeling

just to make sure that I'm still the kid that other kids dont usually like, I'm going to remind this blog that I have had a 4.0 for the last 4 terms in a row. seriously. and I reeeeeeeaaallly dont want my Maya class to tarnish such a paragon of studious-ness.

That said, I also feel i must note that I like boobs and bodies in general. if I find anything redeeming about 3d modeling, it probably lies within doing human figures. So! My next project is going to be "the grand statue" 2.0 , now that we are learning to do organic shapes.

A great statue is being erected in the temple complex

a triumphal arch has been erected in the temple complex of Lea Nike commemorating her victory over the scotts in the Danish conflict.

modeling is blllllleeeeeehhhhhhhhh

I'n my 3d modeling class I'm supposed to be making a city of sorts. My first building is a lovely double decker Greek temple, so I'm going for a Greek Acropolis. I can tell you right now though: Maya, this shit seriously isnt my bag.

This blog is now going to be base for both the Conceptual Art class, and Miles Maya! Hurray!
