Another week here

Almost 4 weeks here, soon I’ll have to leave and I didn’t even start doing sightseeing over the city……so sad 😦

The references for the rendering studies are from the Gnomon DVDs of Scott Robertson.

Another week around here

With all the amount of work I have the feeling I don’t finish the works as well as I’d like but no time for more 😦 Anyway, glad to finally get into vehicles 😀

First 10 days in Singapore

3 weeks of death fail + other stuff

It’s been 3 weeks since I said I was going to start working on a personal project to reinforce my design skills, get ready for FZD and feel it like a real job in some way.

But I failed, I’d like to say now everything was right but it wasn’t, I have to learn from this failure and repeat it again in the future because is something I recommend to anybody.

I painted this illustration just as “teaser” of something that I hope gets bigger with time.

Now I can explain what was the idea, in the 3 weeks, I was goinn to work on a project with a script part written by me and part written by a friend who was going to act as a client. There were deadlines, revisions, etc. And the part of the script I wrote was to set up a story with elements I would not be comfortable with because of the lack of experience but I was interested in.

The point is I wanted it to be like a bloodsports challenge, something where I not only practice, but also study new stuff. So the first week was going to be full of study and the other 2 designing and doing a few more studies if required.

The first week was right, live streaming only 1 hour a day I had a lot of time to keep focused studying.

Bloodsports 11

My entry for the bloodsports challenge #11

3 weeks of death

In less than a month I’m going to Singapore for the certificate courses at FZD school. To take more profit of the school I’d like to reinforce my design skills a bit more, that’s why I’m going to put myself working on a “fictitious project” to reinforce my design skills over the next 3 weeks.This project is under an NDA so I won’t be able to talk about it or show anything.

It’s an ambitious project so I will need a big amount of hours dedicated. Obviously the time live streaming will be considerably reduced, so I’m going to stream only for 1 hour everyday at my usual time, 9AM CET, and focused on the bloodsports, taking it as a little break.

My goals after this 3 weeks are:

– Have the work for this project done, and then and only then, show all the work done.

– Replace the pieces from last year still in my portfolio for stuff done this year since my work is different now.

– Start sketchbooks in sites like conceptart, cghub, etc. (now I only have one on the Crimson Daggers)

The deadline is June 11th 22:00 CET. The “fun” starts NOW.
